Bit Siege is a retro styled 2D MOBA focused on fun packed fast paced action that is simple enough to play casually, but complex enough to play competitively. Play unique classes each with their own abilities and play styles that will aid you in battle. Slay monsters, capture crystals, and annihilate your opponents to claim victory.

The Alpha is finally ready, after hours and hours and hours of play testing and bug fixing, on top of the hours of feature adding, it is finally ready.

I will be posting Dev Log #4 Wednesday (1-7-2015) at 3PM EST, following that will be an informational video about the Alpha…

AS WELL AS THE ALPHA RELEASE!

I have finally gotten the game to a point where it is definitley fun, and I can’t wait to keep expanding on it, and thanks to everyone who has checked out the project and such so far and hasn’t been able to play test, I hope you download the Alpha and have a great time playing it when it releases!

Looks very good in my Opinion!

I like the graphics, but maybe make some smooth borders between the water and the gras?

other than that well done, I allways try to do something like this in 3D (not much difference cause I’d just use x and z axis but the multiplayer stuff destroys it every time, kryonet and concurrentmodification exceptions all the way) I would deffinitly give it a try :smiley:

#5

Alpha v1 is out now!

Visit the download page to download the game!

Hope to hear feedback from everyone!

Couple of issues:

  • You should allow the window to be re-sizable. On my laptop, the bottom of the window is cut off.
  • I spawned in a room with no doors…

Besides that, nice job. Needs a lot of polish, and obviously needs more features, but nice job for the first version!

#7

Resizeable thing is the only issue.

You spawned in a room with no doors because you were the only one in the game, there needs to be people in the game for it to start.

I am hosting a 1v1 right now if you wish to play.

I recommend watching the Dev Logs so you kind of know whats going on and how to play :stuck_out_tongue:

#8

I understand why re-sizing is an issue, but you definitely need to allow it. Not everyone has a resolution that will allow them to run this game!

And you should also change the place where the person is spawned if there is only one person playing, I don’t know how I’m supposed to have fun if I can’t even play the game!

#9

For the current moment there are no bots, but there will be soon.

Right now you currently need a friend to play with if you wish to play.

#10

Honestly, I don’t understand why you would release this (even as an “alpha”) before you had some sort of singleplayer mode. Not everyone has a friend that will be willing to test a not-well known game.

#11

@opiop65 its a WIP… and I for one am happy to see a refreshing new game!

Great stuff Soul Foam

#12

I understand it’s a WIP. But if you are going to put out a version of your game, then at least wait until it is playable for everyone. I would have liked to test out his game, but I don’t want to have to convince someone to play with me. I don’t think it would be very hard to change where the player is started at…

#13

The player starting position has nothing to do with anything. This is a multiplayer PvP game. The nature of the game is Player VERSUS Player, not Player vs Enviroment.

If you don’t have a friend to play with, then as of right now sadly you won’t be able to play until I make bots.

I have had tons of play testers and am getting some amazing feedback, I am genuinely confused that you have not a SINGLE friend to play the game with. Even though that is the case for you, I hope you understand there are people who DO HOST GAMES, and if you post on the forum wanting to play, people WILL answer you and play with you, so it’s not like the game is unplayable by any means.

#14

I’m not trying to criticize you, so please don’t take this as I am saying your game is bad or anything!

First off, no I have no other friend to test this with. Why? Well no offense but this obviously isn’t a very well known game. If I want to play games with my friends, I’ll just play something that we already play. Why would I want to play a very early version of a game they have never heard about?

I understand you have servers up and people to play with. I was just saying that I wanted to play, and I can’t because I was spawned in a room with no doors simply because no one else was playing. I don’t understand your reasoning here; I can’t test your game unless I find other people to test it with me? I was just trying to test your game for a few minutes, and I didn’t want to have to ask other people to play with me.

The fact that it is a PvP online game has nothing to do with what I am saying and is completely irrelevant. I am saying I cannot test your game because I do not want to find someone else to play with right now. If you had allowed me to spawn in a room without doors so I could explore the world and test it out, then I would be giving you feedback on my experience with your game. Instead, I am here telling you about how I couldn’t play.

I simply don’t understand your logic here, I’m sorry. Your end user shouldn’t have to go through the hassle of setting up a server simply to try out the basics of your game. If I was allowed to mess around in the world without another person playing with me then I would be able to give you some feedback. But, as it currently stands, I cannot.

#15

Incase someone doesn’t want to host a server just to play with another person, you should add matchmaking that will look for other people that want to play the same type of match you trying to play.

Besides that, I really like the game, especially the graphics. Keep up the good work!

#16

@opiop65 You make it seem like his progress is not worth sharing. It’s one of the best games on JGO at the moment.

#17

Maybe make a list of people currently hosting games? Upon game creation, the player could mark it as private or public. Public games would go to the list, and private games would only be playable when referenced by name or something like that?

#18

I… I never said that. If you would stop fanboying over Soul Foam’s game then you would realize I am simply saying I cannot test it. Literally no where did I say that he should not share his progress, just simply that he should allow a person who does not want to play with other people to spawn somewhere else so they can explore the world.

Your strange defensiveness over this project is starting to get weird, I don’t know why you needed to include the fact that it is “on of the best games on JGO at the moment.” Are you trying to shame me into finding someone else to play it so I can give him good feedback? If you’re so invested in this project, wouldn’t you want me to give OP some honest feedback? That’s what I’m doing here, but you seem to try to shoot my valid opinions down every second of the way and try to start fights. I am not trying to fight here, I am simply trying to play OP’s game because I am interested. It’s very immature of you to try to come in and try to make me feel bad for wanting to play his game.

Again, Soul Foam, I am not trying to insult you or your project. I want to play your game, but as it currently stands I cannot because I do not wish to find someone else to play with me. I just don’t understand why I have to find someone just to walk around in your game and give you some feedback. No where did I say your game is bad. In fact, I said you were making good progress. Please don’t take my posts as me insulting you or your game.

Ok, I apologize for my hypocrisy. However, my intention was never to suggest you not release your game, but simply to change the place where a person in “singleplayer mode” spawned so I could play your game without finding anyone else. And I don’t think changing the spawn area would be a very difficult task, so I was more implying you should change that one small thing, and then release your game.
