Reign of Rebels : Online Hack and Slash

@Eli Delventhal

Hm, looks like I run out of heap space on a fast Mac with Safari.

This happens while loading the main game (after creating a character and everything).

Also, I was able to make a second character with the same username. :o Then when I logged in later it wanted the first one’s password.

Thank you for the feedback. Those problems are already sorted out in the new version . In fact I removed the link to the game for now, since this version is so outdated that I prefer players not to spend their time testing it, and save their time and willing to testing for the coming new version .

Cool, I’m looking forward to the new version, then.

[kammce]

I wish I could play the game, but the link is not there. ???

[teletubo]

Oh yeah.

Finally I’m ready to update this thread again.
As I mentioned before, I was waiting for a fat changelog to make sure people will have interest in testing it again.

So here’s the changelog:

-Magic
-Light and Shadows
-Day/Night cycle
-Quests
-Achievements
-Bosses
-Trade between players
-Tombstones (Evolved from an idea by Kappa. When you die you can leave a tombstone with an epitaph. If other players mourn your death you recover some experience lost when died)
-Decent Minimap
-More enemies, weapons, items, areas

I’m expecting feedback on anything you find relevant, but specially on gameplay/difficulty. Thanks in advance !

And finally the link to play:

PS: I have reset the database, so if you owned an account, you’ll have to do it again

[teletubo]

Thank to Kev I just found out I have uploaded the server with wrong starting position, probably people who tested felt a little lost or that it was a little too hard. My bad.
Just uploaded the correct server version. Thanks kev !

[h3ckboy]

that makes a little more sense, when I did it I started in the middle of the woods. It still made sense though, cause there was that old guy who was like “you must save the world, jk, I dunno who you are”.

[Marbink100]

This kinda reminds me of Runescape…

[EgonOlsen]

All i’m getting after loading sounds and textures and whatnot is a white applet (tried in Chrome and Firefox)… ??? (Windows 7 64bit, Core i7 2600K @ 4Ghz, 16GB, Java 7u1 32bit, Radeon HD 5870, Catalyst 11.9)

[EgonOlsen]

Ignore this post…i was to dump to edit my last one and replied to myself…

[EgonOlsen]

I’m still too dump…must be something wrong here…

[fprophet]

Is this project still alive? I have been searching for an online roguelike since the day Wyvern died. I am very much interested in this project and would love to play this game!

[teletubo]

Yes, it is still alive altough I’ve paused the development for 2 months or so for personal reasons (lack of motivation, in other words).
I’ll release a new version in some days after I finish some gameplay details. Thank you for the interest !

[ra4king]

Oh noes…motivation is waning! We <3 the game Teletubo! We all want to play! (Is that a good motivation booster? ;D)

[RylandAlmanza]

Dammit! I wanted to play so I could steal ideas for my 3D rogue like! What do I do now? Get creative? God knows what will happen if I try that!

[tberthel]

With 3D Multi-Player Cross-Platform and more it seems nice.

[teletubo]

Updates!

First of all, I changed the “Rogue like” from the Subject since now I realize this is definetely not a rogue-like. It lacks lots of the rogue likeliness aspects, and now it’s more like a hack and slash.

In this update I focused on gameplay, I playtested it a lot and tried cleaning all little bugs and glitches, and balancing the enemies, weapons, magic, etc. I also tried to present the player more slowly to all the features of the game.
I think I was a little too imaptient to show all the features I’ve got to offer then things got a little too cluttered.

Also added music! I licensed some music from Cristian Anderson, and it really makes a difference!

For the rest, added more enemies, weapons, items, areas, magic, etc. Right now there should be like 3 hours of gameplay before you reach the unpolished/unbalanced part.

So finally here’s the link:

http://gamejolt.com/online/games/arcade/unnamed-testing/5233/

@EgonOlsen: Your bug should be fixed now. Maybe you won’t hear any sound, but the game will start. As far as I’ve researched, this is a bug in java sound when you have a webcam plugged in and it recognizes it as a sound device.

[RylandAlmanza]

“Could not connect to server” is what it said when I tried to make an account.

[teletubo]

@RylandAlmanza

“Could not connect to server” is what it said when I tried to make an account.

oops. Forgot to turn server on . Duh.

Online now.

[Nyhm]

I really like your no-hassle log-right-in approach. (I had similar during alpha, but now require pre-registration on my site.)

I was in the world, slaying caterpillars in no time (but not picking up the gold because I thought it was radioactive caterpillar blood). I know it’s classic to drop the reward items to be picked up, so maybe it’s a design decision, but I prefer when item rewards from combat are placed into my gold/inventory automatically.

The world style is nice. It was really pleasing when I came out of the cave into the overworld. I like exploration games, and this world lends itself well to that type of gameplay.

Navigation control is good. Clicking enemies is a bit tricky sometimes. Perhaps consider automatically fighting back if attacked.

(Overall, I think your game is on the same wavelength as mine, in terms of the style of the action. Mine isn’t 3D, and I don’t yet have caves, but your combat and overall feel is similar. Then again, I could probably say that about most games in the genre.)

Looking forward to exploring more of Reign of Rebels!
