The Cavern

Age of War!

Try it out while it still has public host files, cause they will be gone soon! The game isn't in a stable version, its there for the community/fan-base to find bugs and report them so I can make it stable and then continue on with updates afterwords. You can host the game if you want though there are no staff powers for the host. The game should atleast be in a playable state for now, though there are some things lacking like an Auto-Save/Load(Which I will add) Currently if you leave the game you have to pick a new team when you come back(If there is a team open). Also, there are alot of suggestions that are needed, so if your too lazy to sign up on a forums post them here. And I may make a BYOND forum for meh games later.

Version 0.6 will try to be a stable version, i'll keep fixing bugs till then, and when the update comes i'll add boats(Which the basics are already done, just need to draw them and add statistics and such). And probably more features then that when it comes to mind. So, I hope you play and hope you have fun!

Firefox is getting on my nerves

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:56:21 GMT

I need to figure out how to fix this problem, everytime I have a blown up image, the computer will blur the shit out of it on Firefox only(I've tried Internet Explorer). I don't want it to and its pissing me off when I go to pixeljoint and the images look like shit. And even my blown up avatar image looks like shit cause of firefox. Though luckly I can get images in paint and see them clearly.

Yes on 8!

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:16:32 GMT

Yes! California has officially lost its homosexual vibe, by the majority of people voting yes on 8, though still California probably has the most gay people in it in the world, its still homophobic and I love it!

Armiris, The Genie!

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 11:00:59 GMT

Well it is an original concept for BYOND, though not original concept. The layout is good, very easy to understand and it does exactly what it says it will do(Answer Yes or No questions).

I would LOVE to see some actual graphics in the game, it would make it look great. Like having a Genie at a fair stand or something, cause its just a bland gray background.

Though one thing I do like is it logs down your chat, so i'll frightfully show you my chat with it, which makes me fear my life today(I think Armiris is a murderer!!!)

Overall a 7 in my book!

Which one?

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 21:00:18 GMT

RPG build: http://www.byond.com/members/Bakasensei/files/AVS.zip

Info: Its not anywhere near as complete as the action one, though is alot more realistic and more ideas. Its more about horror and RPGness like Mitadake High.

Action Build: http://www.byond.com/members/Bakasensei/files/ 30%20days%20of%20Night.zip

Info: This is alot more complete, though it gets repetitive, and more like REO. This is the older version and simpler.

Please don't host either of these, and you shoud play both before ansewring. Also I never publicly hosted the RPG version as it was still in its early versions, though I did host the older version alot.

I was really wondering which one the community likes better, that doesn't mean i'm working on them, just for later use when i'm finished with 1.0 off Empire.

Also it would be nice if you commented! ^^

Looking for Staff for Empire.

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 16:36:29 GMT

After a long time of blowin people off, telling people about ideas then forgetting them, saying i'm gonna make this game or that, i've finally found what I want to do. So that means this will be my real project. So don't ask about any projects I said I would do, or were doing cause they've been dumped down. Except of course i'm still making icons for SuperAntX's Shooter. And to answer anyones question, no I will not work for any games besides this and SuperAntX's for now.

Okay now for the not so depressing(I guess) part. As you may have read up there I am making a game so far called Empire. The game is about the world, well a historical world. There will not be any magicians(At this point i'm really leaning towards not having them), though it will be realistic in the way it was back in time. Basicly all your playing with is players who are playing, but there will be NPC's(There has to be). But there is a very large and vast map that will be played on while people strive to live in there economies/control them.

Now its not your run in the mill builder/destroyer game. You don't always create a place that is your goal for some though it can get crushed. When the game starts out there will be 1 main empire that will be ran by me or an npc or whoever overthrows the emperor. Under that empire there will be a Polis(A main capital one), then small city-states in there, and around all that villages. What you do is when you start out you pick a village/City-State/Polis/Empire that is built to live there as a peasant and you pick what class/statistics you want and go from there on. If you want to lead a place you have some choices here:
1).Is to save money, loads of money from whatever you can get it, and buy off builders to make your place for you, though when making raiders or anyone can come and attack them, so you'll also want knights to defend them.
2).Take over a current Village Leader, King, or Emperor by killing them or they release the power to you.
3).Working your way up from a Village, then when it gets big enough to a City-State and so on till you build yourself an Empire.

Though you may think running a whole empire means your the best on the game and done all you can, bu t no. There are raiders and bandits, and pirates that attack your empire, and riots, or traitors/rebels that form, so you need to protect it and keep its economy in good shape.

And also that goes for anyone who doesn't run an empire and doesnt wanna make the money and/or have to build one. So what you can do is work your way up through jobs till maybe get a job at emperor or something, or till you get the job you want. There are also other things like Pirate Lord(Sorta like the pieces of 8 crew in Pirates Of The Carribean), The Black Bandit(The leader of the bandit, only seen by the 3 second highest level of bandits), and the Raider Lord(The class is just your name like Atila The Hun[Sp?]).

And for jobs in the places you live in, there are currently off the top of my head...
Barbers, Clothiers, Knights, Guards, the long list of leadership jobs(Mayor-Emperor), also t he ability to make your own organization, bar/goods shop owners, weapons shop, hospitals, and much more!

Now, for when your a leader, you can decide to do whatever you want with whatever you own no matter what. You decide all the rules and restrictions what the people do, what it looks like, where it is, what jobs there are and much more. So you could dedicate your place to fighting(Like Sparta) or do it for pure education and luxury(Like Athans) or anything you think of. Though make sure your people like it, or there could be disciplines.

---End of Info for now---

The jobs I currently need are the following, though remember this will be an easier project on everything, nothing hard and ground breaking just purely designed to be an MMORPG.

Info: After every section i'll have a Currently In-Staff with there In-Game Name{Key}(And job) in that order. Also an Info to say about it in general and all the jobs.

3+ Pixel Artist:

Turfs(The scenary[Sp?])
Objs(Like Buildings and such)
Mobs(The players and there equipment)

Info: I can easily have more than one person working on any number of things, and I myself will be working on all of them(Mainly Turfs and Obj's though.)

Currently In-Staff: Menzu Namiaru{Bakasensei}(T/O/M), Neonlare{Neonlare}(M), Sandlight{Sandlight}(O)

1+ Programmer:

The worst word on BYOND

Sat, 23 Aug 2008 11:33:20 GMT

Yes, this is infact the worst word in BYOND, which is supposed to seperate rips from non-rips, but it actually brings them closer. The word is, "Original". It is sooo vaguely used, and misleading now people often think that the game is a rip if it has the word original in it.

Just because there are rips out there, doesn't mean you need to try and showcase your game, by saying its original you think it gives it some automatic award? No, actually its usually the opposite. There are some good reasons that people shouldnt use original, it should just be banned from BYOND because original makes more rips than Goditz did. Now i'm not saying every game that states its original is a rip, but alot are, and the word is unfit most 99.99% of the time.

For one, original can't be applied to Anime, so stop it. Secondly, the word doesn't mean anything besides that you "havn't" ripped anything. Why should we "have" to say our game is original when we make a non-ripped game? And if so why don't the people who make ripped games have to say, "And yes the game is a complete rip, every line of code and icon.". Thirdly, the word attracts more rippers than people looking for "original" games.

I say if you want an "original" game, don't say it is, why do you have to say its original? You dont see Xbox 360 games comming out like Halo 3: Yes its 100% original not stolen from Gears Of War codez. Thats dumb, that ruins the marketing for your game because your placing your gmae next to rips.

Also, people with original in there guilds is even worse! Alot of those games aren't original, and the guild is in desperation. Original isn't a genre, its sad when people think it is. If you just forget about rips, and don't cycle through BYOND Anime's game list, you'll NEVER see them, trust me.

Finally, if you make a game, don't say its original, or non-rip, or made from scratch, say its a GAME, tell people about it and not how different it is from rips, or how original it is.

Thanks for readingz, and hope this helps stop the flood of "original" games! ^^

Moar ideas

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 21:36:26 GMT

I'm glad I never set this Pokemon game in stone, and that it was just a project team. I have now been thinking of creating a Gundam game, but i'll need the team first. Really all I need now are 2 pixel artists to work with me on this. Once I get this team together we will start on deciding which we should make, though I was thinking what BYOND would rather want.

So what would you rather want? A Pokemon or Gundam game?

Project Team!

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 22:43:08 GMT

Well as this says, i'm starting up a project team. My only goal right now is to make a Pokemon game, though different from every other one, cause its NOT turn-based. While you may say that ruins alot of stuff, I think it makes it better and more realistic to pokemon. But not just spamming commands and such, still having a hint of it added towards, such as having semi turn-base commands, like if your enemy and you have both attacked your wait times to use another attack disappear, though if you attacked, and your enemy hasn't it may make you vunerable for a small bit. And if your a trainer(Can pick trainer or pokemon) you can call out commands if your pokemon is a real player, and if he does not follow the commands you can throw him away(Making him lose exp as a penalty). Other stuff like this, but back to the team!

I would need the following:

Pixel Artists(2 or more:(Though I will help alot with the majority)
Pokemon/Base work(with moving states)
Effects work(Like pokemon attacks and such){Chewyy}(1 more optional)
Obj/Turf work

Programmer(s):(Though I will help alot with the majority)
Main jobs(Like small snippets, or balancing)
Helping(Helping out the main 2 programmers) {Tubutas}

Graphics Artist(s): (I may help)
Hub/Banner/Login screens, and Interface!(Also for forums) {MLNo9}
Other/Helper(Other work such as signatures and avatars) {Son Danny}

Other(s):
Forum/Site Manager

People can have more than 1 job, like a secondary and primary job in this(Or role). The team will also come up with ideas and features that will be added to the game(And the players in the forums!). The team will try to be consisted of atleast, 3 pixel artists(Counting me), 2 programmers(counting me), 1 graphics artist, and 1 forum manager.

I will create the hub for the game once I get the team, but before we will come up with a name and such through chatting. I will post all members who get added on here as soon as I find out they are accepted.

You can contact me at my pager, here, on any forums I post this on, or at my msn/AIM(Prefered): menzunamiaru@hotmail.com .

New sexy CSS!

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:38:12 GMT

Me and Tubutas, have been working on my CSS for quite awhile now(Like 1 or 2 days), since I know nothing in CSS, and idk how much he knows, it took us a lil while. He made an original css that looked pretty cool(But I wanted to change it). And I was making a new avatar when I made it like how it is, and thought I should design the css like that, so I changed the backgrounds and colors and such and now see for yourselves! I think it looks awesome.

And other news for fans of me(Who aren't registered as my fans you haters![Fizz is my number 1 fan, I seen his T-Shirt]). Yes, stop messaging me about it, I stopped working on NKM and AVS, and quit all my side projects that I was maybe thinking about making. I didn't quit BYOND. I am still and right now only working for SuperAntX on his shooter as a pixel artist(The game is looking great!) http://www.byond.com/members/PixelArt/forum?id=5373 .
