(Updated 05/July/2013)
This is a game I’ve been working on lately, with LWJGL, Slick2d, and TWL. (No longer using TWL)

You only have to download the launcher, the launcher then will download all game files you should need.

Feel free to register on website and play c:

Controls: ‘WASD’ to move, ‘F2’ to screenshot, ‘space’ to interact with surroundings, ‘enter’ to chat, ‘E’ to open inventory, and ‘escape’ to open settings menu.

Game’s website is http://knighthood.chunkyhosting.com

http://knighthood.chunkyhosting.com/jars/Knighthood.jar – Launcher JAR (Auto-updates to latest version)
http://knighthood.chunkyhosting.com/jars/Knighthood.exe – launcher EXE (Auto-updates to latest version)

PS: It should work well on Windows, Linux, and Mac

I’m not sure why but the first and last images in your post look as if you took a picture of your computer monitor with a camera. Other than that it looks decent. A suggestion I have would be to make the launcher look a lot better as it looks rather dull and plain.

Edit: The pictures of the main menu look good though.

#3

That would be because of the lighting blueish tint, and yeah, I’m not good at making things look good.

#4

Are you going to aquire your own assets?
Because I see minecraft and terraria there, and those trees looks familiar.
Stiil looks interesting anyway

#5

Well, I’m really not good at making assets, so I’d be really happy if someone made those for me c:

Btw, I didn’t use any Minecraft textures in there xD

#6

Ah I thought those hearts were from Minecraft :persecutioncomplex:
My mistake

#7

Dude, Minecraft didn’t exactly invent hearts as a health bar. Ever heard of Zelda?

#8

Wow! I like the title screen a lot :smiley:

Gonna add things like skills and quests etc?

#9

I will soon, but I cannot think of any quests.
I’m bad at originality, tbh.

#10

This did give me a good chuckle :smiley:

I could only see Terraria there with the character.

I think things look good regardless. It’s certainly more than I can do right now :stuck_out_tongue:

@isteinvids

You should try your hand at some game art, you may be surprised. We always doubt ourself until we do the thing we have doubt about, then we surprise ourselves, or we improve.
Keep practising what you don’t know, you will become self efficient and not have to rely on anybody else to do your art assets for you then, besides, it’s actually really fun to do your own game art once you get the hang of things :smiley:

I look forward to seeing your progress, keep it up :slight_smile:

#11

Im obviously talking about the sprite.

#12

@Otreum

thanx

Totally forgot about the hearts, yes, those are from Minecraft.

#13

I’ve made the launcher to a JNLP, to make updates less visible :smiley:

#14

Oh man, goussej is gonna love you.
Anyways, downloaded & ran it, web start works fine. I would recommend making the registration app using javascript, because the applet pop-up is kind of annoying (at the very least name it “registration” not “reg”).
EDIT: said it had to update to 0.6, and closed itself. I’ll try again later.

#15

Yeah, don’t do it with applets, that’s really bad and vulnerable. I’m attempting to play tho!

#16

Why is goussej going to love me? xD

And yeah, I’m fixing it. Cause launcher gets update app link from an html file on my Dropbox, and Dropbox are moving the files from dl.dropbox.com to dl.dropboxusercontent.com, so it’s a bit broken right now, until I fix the links in the Java apps.

EDIT: lol everything should be functioning again in an hour (or less)

#17

But I can’t connect to external MySQL database from my website host, and since Java applet runs from your pc, it works :frowning:

And I’m really not experienced in Javascript.

EDIT: Wait, is Javascript client-side? (I barely know anything about Javascript tbh)

#18

You can use Client Side Javascript or Server Side Javascript. You can’t run SSJS or PHP on your host?

#19

Host can run PHP, but can’t send the register info to my login server, because host doesn’t allow remote MySQL/server connection.

#20

That blows. I’m sure there are MySQL hosts that allow you to have external connections. Do you pay or for free?
