Создание прототипа RPG-игры на движке GemRB
Цель статьи - описание процесса того, как можно собрать небольшой прототип RPG-игры для движка GemRB. Кто не знает, GemRB (расшифровывается Game Engine Made with pre-Rendered Background) - это проект с открытым исходным кодом, направленный на создание клона движка Infinite Engine, того самого на котором в конце девяностых - начале нулевых были сделаны такие классические ролевые партийные игры как Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale и другие. Нынешнее состояние движка GemRB позволяет пройти все эти игры, используя их оригинальные ресурсы (графику, звук, тексты и прочее). Одно из достоинств проекта GemRB в том, что под него можно сделать отдельную, совершенно независимую игру. По своей сути создание такой игры похоже на создание мода для игры Baldur's Gate (или другой подобной). В большинстве случаев используются те же механизмы и методы. В данной заметке хотелось бы рассказать, как можно сделать небольшой игровой проект в изометрическом стиле. Будем делать полностью с нуля, используя набор заранее подготовленных ассетов.

@gamingonlinux I tried #GemRB a couple of years ago but got the impression that it still wasn't a good experience, but still a curious experiment.
The worst part was how unstable it was, causing frequent crashes more often than the original game engines. This would be one of the most desirable traits, improved stability and crash management like you get with #OpenMW (The Morrowind open source engine project).
Has it gotten better? I can't seem to find any recent gameplay or reviews of it.
