Fray Log: Rework

Fray was put on hold for awhile due to popularity of other Iccusion projects, more road blocks with making RTS games in BYOND, and lack of art.

Still lacking the proper artists, the game has been restarted once again. This time, the power of BYOND interfaces will not be overestimated.

BYOND interfaces are slow, which was one of the problems with the old Fray. So this time around, the game will use no Windows-based BYOND interfaces. Everything will be displayed on the map and screen.

So what is done now that the project started over yet another time?

All the basics of unit selection, movement, attacking, unit team coloring, basic building structures, and some other minor things have been finished.

Progress has been pushing forward very quickly on this new rebuild. Here are some screenshots.


The project still lacks an active artist and most all of the old temp art is already in use, so more screenshots probably wont be shown until an artist is found for the project.

Expect more updates soon.

I could be an artist if you want.

I'm waiting for it.

Cool stuff. I'm open as a tester when it gets to that point(I should be on seika in the meantime).

Sounds great. I don't enjoy the BYOND interface that much myself. I always perfer having everything on the screen as a real game would have it.

How's the pay for an Artist?

Looking for a volunteer. Of course team members will be properly paid if the project makes money, though.

I have faith that there are still some people out there that enjoy making games more than making money.

I'm interested in becoming an artist, as long as there is an outline for what you're looking for and a vision for the project.

Need to see some RTS-based example work. Looking for a top-notch artist.

Also need to be able to do all the art on your own and do it well.

Post links to some example work and I'd be glad to look at them.

I'll have more time tomorrow to work on it, but here is a building i'm working on. It's 9 by 9 Byond tiles, not really sure how big that is by numbers(32x32,64x64,ect.).
