Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) OMGGGG I definitely want to help! A Harry Potter ORPG has been my dream!
Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) make sure you tell us when you have done it cause then we can all go and check it out
Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) Well there's a little news about the game: The first major quest is underway, it's a Hogwarts only one, so it's for low-ish levels, but the reward is very great. Mainly because it's hard to know where the quest starts . If you can find the way to access the other side of the water then you deserve to get the item/s What else... erm... i've been improving my scripting. So there's a lot of small improvements and optimisations that you won't notice lol. The VIP system is complete. If you're a good player and help people and so on you will be rewarded with 30 days VIP status. This allows you to use special spells such as apperating to your hometown for free whenever you want and so on. It also allows you to visit hunting places that are not accessable for non-VIP players. Of course, all NF members will be receiving a VIP Badge to use, once used you get 30 days worth of VIP time. (I suggest you save the badge for when you leave Hogwarts as there won't be many VIP things inside Hogwarts for now). I'm enjoying making the game at the moment, so there should be lots of progress before Wednesday Oh yeh, I added a swamp around the size of Hogwarts' grounds which has 4 or 5 hunting locations, so yeh that's a big update lol
Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) sorry, the game won't be available until Wednesday at earliest. If I can find a host with a good enough connection and ping then they will be able to host it for the time being. But I'll also need FTP access to the server folder (as I need to constantly update the server scripts). Of course, the host would also have a God account, meaning they have the highest amount of control over the game as I do (they could change their account stuff to make them that anyway lol) I'm contemplating wether or not to include the Broom Workshop in the game, it will allow the owner to sell brooms and make them like the wand system. However, I want brooms to be very expensive because of the advantages that they give you (they give you 25, 50 and 75 levels more walk speed). One thing I'm certain of is that I don't want them being too easy to get hold of. A new monster is going to be added soon. The Evil Witch will be added to the swamp area, she is a semi-boss, who will drop pretty good items for the level range she takes to kill. Some of the items will boost your magic level by 3 when worn (meaning you can cast higher level spells than without etc). Lots of small updates made yesterday, today I have a few map updates to make and some scripts to add so that Hogwarts students can't leave Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. Also, when you're testing the server, please look out for any spelling mistakes so I can correct them. Nothing worse than a game full of typos lol. Anyways, wish me luck!
Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) sorry for the double-post but i'd like to share with you two side projects i'm working on at same time as this, they're both using the same game engine etc Left4Tibia - a zombie survival game but orpg style, if you've played Killing Floor you'll understand the concept. You kill zombies in waves, with a chance of a boss zombie being spawned. You get loot from each zombie which you can use to buy ammo and guns etc. Teamwork is the key again in this server as you get more exp if you are in a team. I've not begun work on this 'til HPO (the main game) is pretty much done. Prison Tale - You're in a prison, serving a life sentence. It's kill or be killed. But it's not all doom and gloom. You can form gangs with other players and fight for domination of the prison. Command respect by taking on the biggest prison gangs around. It's not 100% player versus player combat, you can even go fight non-player prisoners and guards to gain levels. Buy weapons that are stronger to take on other prisoners and loot their weapons. Gangs can even fight for ownership of a Wing (like guildhalls in the other server). Each Wing gets an income from drugs so ownership of these will aid your gang greatly. (I personally deposit the money into your Wings every day, or week). Just wondering what you all think about these additional games I'm going to be working on as soon as the main game's released? Prison Tale will be a quite large game to make, but no way as big as the main game. Left4Tibia will be a small game but hopefully addictive. Boss and harder monsters will spawn from time to time. Also, the MP amount thing will be your Fuel for flamethrowers. Which should be an interesting idea Anyway, sorry for the double-post but I think this is important enough
Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) sorry for the triple post sadly i have the bad news that my ISP are completely useless jerks, and because of this there's another 10 days until the open BETA, however there are a fair few updates been made that would have been put on hold an example of this is the Pet System, you can now purchase a pet to fight alongside you and to carry up to 10 slots worth of items! there's so many features in this update it's hard to tell you them all... every pet has its own exp system and hp and mp! it will automatically attack, or you can command it what attacks to use! you can even battle eachother's pets (very pokémon style!) and enter tournaments organised by the events team anyways, i'm off, i'll keep you up to date with any updates
Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) Ok make a trial or something or show us where to make accounts and try it !!! I don't wanna read, I wanna PLAY! :yup: <3 :yup:
Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) i wish i could, it's all on my pc and i can't upload the server files anywhere for them to host etc without a connection, and the server's like 100mb so it's almosti mpossible at slower than dialup speeds lol i promise you as soon as it's possible for me to upload it/host it ill put the game on
Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) Okay. Better keep your promise or else I'm gonna feel sad. XD
Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) Hurry up and get the real internet you slacker. Jk. x) Is the client going to be about the same size as Tibia client?
Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) well the awesome news today is i have a better internet connection (wireless dongle that i can JUST get 3g on!!) so i can load pages faster than it would take to post a cd with it on in the post lol so if i can find a host for the server it means i can actually release the openBETA today... it's just finding someone to host it... lol Second post: Ok, since I don't have a host for the server.. yet.. I'm going to give you a quick tour of what you'll see when you first start out. To begin with you have to make your account and character (up to 15 characters), to do this enter the game and use account number "1" and password "1" (without "s), then you'll be instructed to do by the yeti account maker Once you have your character, log into your account (you have to log out completely after making a new character, don't ask i dunno), then log in. You'll then be in a corridoor in Hogwarts with three chests. Select which wand you want to start with (or bow and arrow if you're a ranger). To look at things, hold the Shift key and click on the item. To use them hold Ctrl and click on them. Simply Use the chest beneath the wand you wish to start with. After you've selected your weapon, move the ring into the ring slot (you can see what slot is which by the faded image beneath them. I'll make a tutorial on that at a later date) then put your wand in the slot the ring was in. Now simply walk into the blue teleporter to go to the House Selection room (removed after first few weeks, to balance the houses). You can see which lever will make you a member of which house by Looking at the golden bar above each one. Once you've selected your house, pull a lever and... http://www.upload3r.com/serve/270610/1277636666.jpg Welcome to Hogwarts! You can leave the great hall and you have the choice of either heading South to the hunting areas, or walk into the teleporter (or walk the long way) to your Common Room. http://www.upload3r.com/serve/270610/1277637102.jpg Here is the Gryffindor common room: http://www.upload3r.com/serve/270610/1277637187.jpg And that's your lot for now... don't worry. I'll be posting a lot more screenshots before the game's released. And because you've all been so patient... here's a few screenshots of the map as it currently looks!! Hogwarts: http://www.upload3r.com/serve/270610/1277637363.jpg (just ground floor screenshots for now ) Hogsmeade: http://www.upload3r.com/serve/270610/1277637483.jpg Diagon Alley: http://www.upload3r.com/serve/270610/1277637538.jpg Please remember these are only the towns, not the vast areas between them and all of the hunting locations (like The Mountains (no proper name yet) which is about the size of hogwarts). Lots of improvements still to make too. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek at the game
Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) Wow, these look great! But in the future, please just edit your previous post instead of double posting. Looking forward to the release
Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) Will the game be download or browser? And will it be free?

Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) Hey, Air. I'm sure you didn't mean too but you triple posted :lol: Toesocks, I'd LOVE to play this and help in anyway I could. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with
Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) Game looks good KEEP DEVELOPING! might evolve in a WOW like thing
Re: Currently working on my own game (ORPG) haha the only thing that would help right now is if $49 appeared in my bank account 'cos until I can afford a server (or find a host for the server) I can't release the game lol right now I have £0.24 in my account, £30 going in but £20~ going out for bills etc, oh and I get a letter from gas and elec company from my old house (shared with 2 others), they didn't get the bill etc, but one's for £450~ and the other's for £700~ for gas and electric... but we never used the gas except for heating water for showers.... so how does it go up to £450? utter horsecrud. So yeh, I'm skinted. lol Just looking for a server at the moment, it's harder than it sounds.
update after 12 days: server host found, he's away at the moment but should be putting the server online in the next couple of days, until then please join the official forums at: http://hogsmeade.net/ be sure to try and use the name that you will be giving your character (no special characters like _ ! * & " $ etc will be allowed in character names, sorry ) Everything is ready for the beta launch, still a few balancing issues that I hope I can fix for the official release.
