Toni WestbrookSince ANSI screens and menus are such a big part of the BBS experience, I wanted to include drawing functionality in Cloudburst Connection (BBS themed adventure RPG). The player's computer features the "Text Paint" program, allowing them to draw ANSI login, logoff, and menu screens for their BBS. It features the 16 color palette, tools like draw, box, cut/copy/paste, etc, hotkey presents for commonly used combinations, fields for metadata instructions of where to place items (username/password/menu items/etc), and a whole lot more. It can also import/export escaped ANS files into the game, so players can use their favorite third party ANSI drawing tools.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/BBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BBS</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ANSIart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ANSIart</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/indiedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#indiedev</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/indiegame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#indiegame</a>

Toni WestbrookCrafting in Cloudburst Connection (BBS themed adventure RPG) is a little different than the average RPG! In CC, you collect libraries and source code (resources) and use the compiler to build features to add to your BBS, including things like email, voting booths, downloads, the graffiti wall, etc. I've been enjoying making little ANSI icons for each feature!<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/BBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BBS</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ansiart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ansiart</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/indiegame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#indiegame</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gamedev</a>
