Wow, folks: Anyone’s who’s been into massively multiplayer online gaming for the last ten years is sure to recognize the name Tibia, which is one of the longest-running, free, graphical online games. A homebrewer by the name of LuMa out of Germany has begun the substantial task of porting the game to the PSP. TibiaForPSP v0.1 is currently out in a beta version. Check out these words from the developer:
The name of my game, as the title suggests, is called Tibia. The original game Tibia (http://www.tibia.com) is a MMORPG game in which you’re involved in a fantasy world on the Internet with other players and you can solve Ouest, get levels and fight against other players.
I decided to copy of this game for PSP ,because it has a relatively simple 2D graphics and it is cope with Oslib.
Now some data about my Hombrew:
Until now, this Hombrew is only in the beta stage and is also only offline playable ,but I will change this in any case in the next versions .
It feature , however, the following functions:
- Menu + Background Music
- Selection between female and male character + naming of the character / account
- Small map with one quest (58 * 40 fields) and 3 monsters
- 1 monstertyp
- 4 armor (or weapons)
- Many animated objects
- 2 Spells
- Fully functional screenshot function
- Incomplete in-game MP3 player (reads MP3′s from MUSIC-folder)
- Pause function
- In-Game Menu + mouse
Now the hotkeys:
In the menu
- Up / down direction keys
- Select with X
In the game
- Movement of the figure with the direction buttons
- On/Off page menu with SELECT
- Move the mouse pointer with the joystick
- LOOK / USE function with R-Hold + X
- Lifting of arms by the USE function (mouse on weapon -> R-hold + X -> Click to USE)
- Healing spell with L-Hold + Triangle
- Fire spell with L-Hold + Circle
- Creature attacking by clicking on creature (with the mouse)
- Screenshot with R-Hold + START
- MP3 player ON/OFF with START
- Pause with Hold
I think that it was now everything , but you can explor the game yourself(maybe you can find a few more functions … ^ ^)
Have fun testing and do not forget that this project is only in version 0.1 (Beta).
Yours sincerely,
LuMa
PS: I know that until now,it is a bit unilaterally (boring) but it will certainly change with a larger world, more monsters, more weapons and more spells…^^
We’ve played the original game of Tibia on and off since its inception as a cutting-edge online project back in the mid-90s. The port looks promising, and we wish LuMa the best of luck as he continues work on this truly nostalgic project. Mad props.
