hey yeah for starters, yes I know cheesy name.

ok so basicly I mad ehtis game cause I wanted to make a shooter. Then After i had some physics done, I was like, hey might as well make some rpg elements as well.

I also bit the bullet and learned php, for the server.

The world is kinda empty right now, but npc is coming in the nearish future.\

there is one hitch I though people would find annoying, you got to register to play :confused:

but this is the easiest register in existence.

all you do is just go to register page. Then all you have out fill out is username and password!

no email verification, no nothing.

well here is the website www.chroniclesofsurbania.webs.com

the jnlp link is on homepage.

please give me your feedback.

EDIT: It wont save your file if you just exit. If your account fails to save, post, I will fix it. dont worry the logout is SUPPOSED to take a long time.

Screen shots!

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in /home/a1711548/public_html/insert.php on line 16

#7

So that won’t help.

#9

hmmm, I dont know why the “this page is under review” came up yesterday. The link worked fine today. Great game, ran fine, gimme some power ups!! hehehehe.

Nice job!

#10

cheezy name, haha jk.

logged in and cant move guy…

#11

Use the WASD keys to move the guy.

Nice start, looking forward for more additions to make the game more interesting.

#12

yeah I know.

was gunna name it surbia. but htne I realized that was a country.

nicce to nkow some1 can make it work :slight_smile:

#13

It worked first time for me, and ran very smoothly.

While jumping I noticed (a) you go rather high and (b) instead of tracing a quadratic curve, the have constant velocity ascending and constant velocity descending. This makes it feel almost like a jetpack which runs out of fuel, rather than a standard platformy jump.

Also I noticed that when jumping through a gap which was 1 square wide I had to line up my character exactly in order to get through – there was no tolerance for the space on either side.

What’s the reason for registering by the way?

cheers,

josh

#14

the reason you gotta register is cause you gotta log in. ;D

glad to know it works well :).

#15

Okay but why log in, when it seems to be a standalone game – is there going to be a networked version of it?

josh

#16

what oyu mean, “networked”.

if you mean users on server? then it already is.

I dont hink it will ever me mmo if that is what you mean.

#17

ok but how do the users interact?

#18

oh sry for slow reply.

the undread messages sucks.

you move with WSAD and shoot wiht space.

ok version 1.0.1 would be out. Except that there is a bug in the newest version of slick, so I gotta wait for kev to get on that (yes I did post it in the bug section.)

in taht version, I added a skill bar :). I already had the skills made, except it was with the numbers ( il bet no1 found it 8), it is disabled now) will be out soon.

EDIT: I guess that sort of is power ups. Also has anyone experienced a problem with drawing lines (and by extension, rectangles). It is quite irritating >:(

#19

I think he means how do the users on the server interact with each other

Basically, why do the players need to log in to play the game?

#20

Well to be perfectly honest, I wanted to learn PHP.

but I also am hoping to have some sort of multi player aspects. fingers crossed.

this is just a hope though.

I would have to make a server. Which I am not sure how to do it cause I am not hosting my server.
if it can be done, then I will try, any tutorials or articles would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

P.S: just so you all know. I am learning with this project as I go along. So I may have some things that are just there cause I wanted to learn how. :slight_smile:
