I don't know of any such game in existence. However, I hope you realize how daunting and almost next to impossible task it'll be to come up with a TEXT-BASED 3D RPG to come even close to the ones in the market now, with all their ultra-realistic 3D Graphical Engines.

Wait..what? I think I'm missing something... how is a text based game 3d? Text is text... which is 2d... unless you use a pseudo 3d font in which it's not exactly any different :|
So what are these '3d text based games' ? I'm kinda curious now... |

i know i'm way behind in reply... but so far i've heard of one (api actually) that aims to convert 3d games into text...
i think the lib is called "AA" and the example program included is called "BB" i actually discovered it a while back on a knoppix linux distro -- but there is a DOS version available as well |

Yeah, I saw some cool programs which can convert images, for example 3D images into text documents, so it will look something like ascii art, it really is cool, for example it can even do animations, so in practice, you can play a game in such a mode
 imagine some action game like Quake with graphics made out of letters, numbers and symbols Even though it wouldn't be cool, but it would look something you can't see everyday..So I guess the term 3D text games is something like that? with ascii art which looks like 3D even though really is 2D just isometric and you control everything with your keyboard, but it could be an adventure game or strategy like in the old days, due to quake can't be played like that

First time of hearing such things exist as a game. Anyway do you know of any screenshots or images? Just curious. And does it look something like a lot of photos make up to a big photo? Errr.. if you know what I meant.

I have never heard of a 3d textbased game before...but how would it be any more interesting if you were to play a 3d game. 3D textbased games must be for realllllly casual gamers, because the closest thing I played that was not fully 3d was probably maple story, or gunbound. which were both had 3dish like environments but with 2d sprites.

Replying to danzarely
Well, there isnt such a thing called a 3d text based game, cus text is text. But there are browser/text - based games that include 3d animations, like "tribalwars" (http://www.Tribalwars.Net/). And there is ONE actual 3d game on the browser called RUNESCAPE (http://www.Runescape.Com/). -reply by my head is a head! |
