Reign of Rebels : Online Hack and Slash

Hello folks,

I’ve just updated the clients and server with the newest version.
This update is basically about content. Added lots of monsters and new dungeons and a new city.

The magic screen is almost filled now, ranging from support magic to summon spells:

Right now there are roughly 8-9 hours of gameplay, with several quests and achievments on the way!

you can play the applet version or download stand alone clients here:

Feedback on the difficulty/gameplay is always welcome!

Hey guys!
I’ve just finished a Launcher/Downloader using getDown .
The launcher will check for new updates and download them as needed, and after tha launch the game.

I would highly appreciate if you guys test this, specially linux/mac users, since I have no means of testing it.

Thank you very much!

Well… it worked. Interestingly I’d installed JDK7 (latest) on my brand new Win 7 64 install here and it didn’t stick java.exe in System32 nor associate .jars with the JRE. Odd. So I had to do a bit of hackery just to get it to run. But run it did. It’s coming along quite nicely eh?

Micro feedback:

  1. Shadows would be nice. Even just blobs.
  2. Click feedback on movement would be nice maybe.
  3. Hoovering up nearby gold automatically would also be nice.
  4. It’s spelled “tyranny”. And “Choose your character” (typo).

Cas, thank you for the micro feedback.
About the launching, I tried using launch4j but I couldnt make it work with an embedded jre. And also it would only generate the windows exe. I surely want to improve user experience, but I dont see many good options right now. Any ideas ?

About the microfeedback, I thought abou blob shadows, but I assumed it would look ugly. I will give it a shot then.

Im not sure about point 3, I believe it would get a little annoying in the middle of the battle. Anyway you can press Z to automatically fetch the nearest item (this is displayed in a popup help at about 20 minutes in the game)

And thanks for the typos observation! It is always good to show the game to a refined englishman!

Not working on Mac OS X with JDK 6. I’ll try with 7 later.

Thanks for testing Eli. However that doesn’t seem like jvm version problem. It’s more likely that my .command file is wrong, since I had never done this before. If it’s not too much to ask can u check if it’s correct ?

Thanks a lot!

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread. Just wondering if this game is still in development, or at least playable. http://www.reignofrebels.com// responds with an “Internal error,” and the game just crashes after I try to log in now. I very much enjoyed this game when I used to play it.

Thank you for your interest :slight_smile:
Unfortunately I have lost the interest in this game in the moment I found myself building assets (models, maps, etc) and not coding anymore.
It was a great journey of almost 2 years working on a single project, and I still look at it with pride when I see some screenshots, but I will not come back to this. I have been out of game development for a few months now, since I recently changed jobs and now I have not so much free time on my work (where I often used to code my games :-X ).

I just restarted the server - not really sure if it will work, it depends if you have the latest client version.
Thank you again for the interest and support when this was active :slight_smile:

Sweet, it works! A bit sad to hear that this will no longer be developed, but it definitely got a lot of enjoyment out of it anyways. As long as the server’s still up, I’ll still join with a friend every once in a while. Thanks for the good game!
