Title: Dragonworld - Sailor Moon World
Genre: side-scrolling/fighting
Developed by: Tim Yep
Site: closed
Last version: 02/02/1997
Platform: Windows 95/98
|
The development of this game was started by Tim Yep ('Ty
Drygon') in 1996.
He was a student at Mcgill
University School of Computer Science then. The game is coded in Turbo
Pascal 6.0 and built on so-called Drygon Worlds engine, that was developed by Tim
Yep himself and handled four simultaneous players. This engine (not released) implied a
possibility to add new characters, new levels, and new worlds in the game later
(among other things Tim planned to bring in Dragonball Z characters to assist
the Sailor Senshi during combat). Apart from Tim himself, other people
participated in the project: Ethan Brodsky (sound code), Lee Hamel (keyboard
code), Starfire, Rainy Day Man, Jenny and Prince Neptune.
Accordingly to several opinions, Drygon Worlds engine was
ahead of Tim's time.
As it was stated by Tim Yep, the game was made in part for
the Support Our Sailors campaign.

After one year of work, completing 35% of the game, Tim Yep abandoned his
work, releasing
an incomplete beta of the game to the world, hoping that somebody will pick up
the project and finish it. Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter, Luna,
Artemis, (partially Sailor Mars) are playable in the beta. Accordingly to one
report, Tim has lost an interest in computer science and decided to go
into medicine later. Anyways, he never returned to his game afterwards. The beta
version (split into ten separate parts) was available for download formerly at (
http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~phooee/smgame.html )
This site is closed long ago since then. The game was passed afterwards among owners
of random Sailormoon sites, that allowed it to survive.
