Raid #2 Progress Report

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:43:27 GMT

After playing through the game some I decided to remove that crap-of-a-hud feature on the left clogging up the screen. Instead i'm going with a generic RPG style skill/spell hud system.

Now its way easier to create more skills/spells for the player to use. Also a lot cleaner for the player.

With this I'm in the process of a Skill Tree. Which players can buy Spells/Skills from. Similar to GOA. Players will be able to do Quests for Skill Points(SP) which can be used to buy available skills.

Tree's have been changed to fit the game a bit more. Also, they have a chance of falling down. When you cut them for wood they also fall down. :)

Another neat feature has been added, Mounts. Mounts are pets(followers) who can be used in combat or that you can ride on. Right now riding on them has nothing usefull, other than eye candy. If you have any ideas feel free to post. Other than being useless pets they can also fight enemies, or players. Their stats can also be leveled as they're used for combat. Here is a pic of me riding a Black Horse. Currently there are only Tigers and a half-finished black horse.

Modern Warfare 2

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:39:02 GMT

Modern warfare 2 comes out in 2 hours. I'm excited and can't wait. I'm still confused on the release date. I thought the midnight release was on the 11th, but Gamestop, MSN, and Google say the midnight release is tonight. Oh well, we'll see when I show up at Gamestop.

Raid #1 Progress Report

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:49:06 GMT

Hello. I've started up this weekly progress report for Raid so people can see how the game is moving along up until the closed beta release. A closed beta post will be made in the future with more details.

A Skill HUD system has been added. It stores all your interactive skills for combat. As shown below.

Then after they click the skill they perform that skill and the HUD icon is darkened. After it's cooldown time is over it will then return back to normal.

Also a new town has been added called Redmerrow. Some images of it's market place can be viewed at the Media section of Raids hub page.

Redmerrow:
Founded by traveling groups of merchants traveling though the Mallowhaven Kingdom. Eventually settled into what is now called Redmerrow. Redmerrow got it's name by the demonic bird Merrow that travels through Mallowhaven each winter. The birds color is darkish red, hence the name Redmerrow. Now Redmerrow is the central area for merchant trading across all of the Mallowhaven Kingdom, also a wonderland for thieves and scammers about. The merchants hired mercenaries with their wealth of guarding their goods. Redmerrow can be found by traveling South West of Aelden.

Thanks for reading. Another report will be made next week or so.

Any questions or comments? Feel free to post.

Farawayhost or SliceHost

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:36:44 GMT

Hello,

In my further hunt for a hosting service I have narrowed it down to FarawayHost and SliceHost. FarawayHost is more in my favor because of it's low prices, but if you see a reason why SliceHost may be better please post.

This is what I would most likely go with on FarawayHost:

Tier 2 - $8.99/month - 100 MB Ram Limit Includes: - one world may be hosted - includes webhosting package. - $0.99 per additional world 6 Worlds = $6.99/m 8.99+6.99=$15.98/m $82 Current Money Enough for 5 months

If I choose SliceHost this is what I would go with:

Plan RAM Storage BW Price 256 256MB 10GB 100GB $20/m Unlimited worlds? Not specified. $82 Current Money Enough for 4 Months

Even If I could have unlimited worlds with SliceHost I would be getting another month of hosting in for FarawayHost.

Discuss.

Also, a new Strategy game is in the works. More to come. ;)

Raid is also coming close to completion. Right now the Engine is done, but other than stupid boring grinding there isn't anything to do. Thats what the last %25 is left to do. Fun stuff. Be sure to keep an eye out for it's release.

You can join the guild to the left to keep up with updates and other random babbling by me. ;)

Oh by the way, I might have a host for L4DB. Considering how fast and fatal bugs are it may to on and off.

A Post About Stuff

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:42:10 GMT

Since people have been lowering the prices of their subscribing services, i've decided to reduce mine... by pretty much 80%. Most games charge around 4-20 USD, I was charging about 20-40 USD. So all the prices have been lowered and hopefully more people will subscribe. Check it out: http://www.byond.com/games/Magicbeast20/PaperSub

My BASG Entry entitled "Abandoned" hub has been created. It can be found here: http://www.byond.com/games/Magicbeast20/AD

When the BASG Competition is over the game will be released for public play.

Matar Redondel will be having an update sometime in the near future. AI has been added, but isn't recommended for online play. Classes have also been added, but are still in development. Currently the only classes are "Infantry", "Medic", and "Captain*". Captain is Subscriber only. Captain, you get two special devices that help you greatly. One being a Supply Drop Radio, in which... well.. supplies is dropped to your location. The second one is an Artillery Strike Radio, after you call in the Artillery Strike you have 60 seconds before the bombs hit. Medic gets two extra health kits upon joinning each round. Infantry gets a starting pistol.

Quarantine is also getting an update. Subscribers will have more weapons to bash into zombies heads and then shoot of the remaining killing your annoying scientist buddies.

Thanks for reading.

No Lolcats this time.

Zombie Wars Poll

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:06:21 GMT

Right now on Zombie Wars there is one single map in which players... play on. You travel through the city, barricade buildings, save people, ect...

Single Player Map:
+ Little work envolved
+ Players can remember areas, know where is a good place to barricade
- Gets boring

Multiplayer Map:
+ Opens knew environment ideas
+ Opens new mission options
- Includes work... lol

I'm not really sure which to do. Input would be great.

Thanks.
