A Challenger Appears

Tue, 21 May 2013 06:56:03 +0000

Are you tired of the same ol', same ol'? Tired of games where you just grind exp all day and gg? Are you looking for a game with some concept of difficulty? Look no further, Artemis is here! I'm looking for scruffy, strong people to join my village on Haven and Hearth.

Haven and Hearth is a survival mmorpg where you create your world. Literally, anything you do will have an impact on the environment. It is heavily community-based, which is why I posted here. I have started up a village, a place where all may be (relatively) safe and enjoy the game.

When I started the game, it was me and my friend Carl. After experimentation and repeatedly dying, we have finally set up a safe "haven" for any new players. All you have to do is create a character and use the hearth secret "byond". Doing so will spawn you right beside the camp.

If you need help playing the game, there is a great set of resources that can get you on your way. The HnH forums are also a place to get assistance. I can also help you when it comes to resources. I am added to your "kin" list by default when you join the game. You can now PM me, follow me around, beg me for food, anything.

Haven and Hearth has a unique leveling system (that you cannot grind) and a unique combat system. Roleplay is possible, even welcome. Think you're outdoorsy? Wait until you get a pig named Babe, and wrestle bears with your "bear hands". Want to support the fight without getting onto the front lines? Get your hands dirty underground, mining, and creating the weapons that our strong warriors need. Want to support you and your family in a peaceful life? Grow crops and raise livestock.

The limitations are few, and the potential for entertainment is near limitless. Join me, and together we shall rule the Haven!

Looking for Pixel Artist [unpaid]

Sat, 11 May 2013 05:38:49 +0000

I'm looking for a pixel artist slightly better than my stick figures to create art for my upcoming game. It's in the early stages of development (The base hasn't been created yet? What?) The only compensation I can offer is your key on the hub.

The work is to be done on Epic RPG.

email me some examples of your work at Artemisoth@hotmail.com Please do not send me someone else's work. The only reason I ask for some kind of submission is that there's a certain style I'm going for. What kind of style? Somewhere between This and This.

Combat System

Fri, 10 May 2013 21:20:27 +0000

It seems like our combat systems of today are limited to

1. Turn based
2. Real Time
3. Hybrid (Final Fantasy)

I'd like to start a new game, and I've got the story planned out, but I'm not sure how I want to do combat. I don't want to do turn based (I abhor turn based combat) but I feel like "spam skills to win" is also rather lame. There has to be a more exciting way to do things. Suggestions?

Is it possible to open a downloaded game without having to go through downloads in the beta? In the current version of BYOND there's a game list. Is there no similar function in the new pager?

Music for Castle

Tue, 07 May 2013 22:36:05 +0000

I've written some music for Castle. This is just a draft. I wanted some public opinion on it.

Download

Files:
Begin the Charge.mid
- To be played at the start of the game

Battle Begins.mid
- To be played throughout the game

Victory!.mid
- To be played when you win

Requiem.mid
- To be played when you lose

My main problem is that I want to lose more than I want to win, thanks to how much I like Requiem :(

(If you download these midis and decide to use them, please give me credit for making them)

Missing hub entries

Mon, 06 May 2013 17:42:56 +0000

Why is Castle Revolution no longer listed? I did not see anything that would make it inelligible.

I tried to search for it in games, using the tags:
castle
revolution
defense
space

It did not come up for any keyword, and I had to use google to find it.

If you're going with the tab thing, even though there's a button, you may as well stick up stats in a tab.

There should be a way to check Health in battle (The bar at the top is *not* enough)

I think some background imagery for battles would go a long way.

I personally don't feel there's enough content to warrant "subscriber bonuses"

This is the exact same music used in Failed Fate, I hope it's from a free source.

I've reported a few bugs, check those out.

It's an excellent start, I'd say. Keep it up!

Try it Out

Sat, 04 May 2013 21:27:32 +0000

I've recently made a new game: Castle. It's not like Abra's Castle, but it is a defense game of sorts.

It's based on a zero sum game project I had to do in my Linear Programming class. I've added a probability aspect to it, to make it a bit more exciting (I tend to view unexpected events as "exciting"). It's not as exciting as I'd like it to be, but I wanted to send the feelers out, to see if people liked the concept.

Empty Map

Fri, 03 May 2013 17:36:23 +0000

There isn't really any code for this. It seems that in my interface file, despite having a map element, my map is not displayed.
