epos

Epos is a full featured fantasy-roleplaying game for the PalmPilot. Planned features for V1.0 are:

512*512 icons line of sight map (objects block vision)
up to 128 different 8x8 pixel mapicons
all Objects (Monster, items, spells, NPCs) defined in a special scripting language
no random objects (all items put at a location stay there)
no random encounters (realistic movement of monsters and NPCs)
complex talk function
complete windows development environment with Iconeditor, Imageeditor, Scripteditor, Mapeditor...
images of objects can have any size
and much more...

Some screenshots (the graphics will be much better in the final release):
Screen 1 Screen 2 Screen 3

To complete the game i am searching for several people who would like to help me with scripting, graphics, mapdesign and the docs. If you are interested or have any kind of questions please mail me at jens@gacel.de.
