Hi all, I want to try to develop a game like Bard's Tale/Dragon Wars. To start I want to study some already existend interfaces (in C, C++ language). Can anyone succest me an already existent game engime?

Try this here...

Also some guys are developing a BT style game for the C64, but that won't be C/C++/C#.

The most critical task in such a game would be the balance of char values and battles, i. e. battle mechanics, race and class modifiers on char values and exp rates given out.

I think I will use C as I'm a C programmer - really in my new job I am progressively dropping programming

I think my game will run on very nerdish (or geeky, if you prefer) operative systems like AROS, Amiga OS4 and MorphOS

My btbuilder project is the most complete open source Bard's Tale like engine that I know of. It implements nearly everything in the BTCS. It has primitive editors so you don't have to code C++. The code could be better. If you want new features you can ask or code them up. It uses a few libraries but they may be available for the platforms you are interested in. Right now it runs on Linux and Windows.

I need some training but I hope to start soon, if I can find some free time...
