Not quite an RPG, though it will have some RPG elements to it. This seemed like the best category.

My first ever networked java application, basically its a client/server chat world thing, in the style of adventure games (LucasArts) in the sense that it uses fixed backdrops and “Hot spots” to move in between locations.

It’s for my university final year dissertation, and its client base is a student group called Fecx (contains over 200 members)

It’s going to be out on 13th February, anyone is free to try it, you don’t have to be an official member of fecx (though you will need to sign up on the fecx.co.uk in order to login)

Its all done using Java.net and Swing, plus a plugged look and feel.

My development blog for this is at http://www.edwarddam.co.uk/phi/fecxonline

I’m looking forward to trying it. One difficulty with network games is getting enough people to log on at the same time, as most folks here, log on in whenever they get a bit of spare time and are in different time zones. You could see if anyone is hanging around in the lwjgl IRC on the day as quite a few folks leave that open. (see lwjgl.org).

Good luck with the dissertation.
