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 :/

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!

sry, I had added something and forgot to test 

should work now.

thx for testing

This doesnt happen to me?

where does this happen to you?

where do you get the error?

or is there an error, if so post it please

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!

Use the WASD keys to move the guy.

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

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,

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

josh

ok but how do the users interact?

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?

ok version 1.1 out .

it has a skill bar.

to see what skills do, just put your mouse over them.

enjoy! (now off to chores )

Couldn't get past the login screen.

Won't bother with registering.

Most users will do the same anyway.

Making people register to play games is extremely retarded. No one wants to be forced to sign up for something they don't even know about. There's no screenshots, the website is poorly designed, and your applet sign has an error. For all I know it's a trick to get peoples passwords. I'm sorry, but this is awful design, and it does NOT make me look forward to trying this game, which I'm not going to even bother doing until I can do it as a guest.

cant wait for more content

hmm, i cant seem to figure out why, but the game opens, then jsut closes straight away.

It works fine in compiler. I  will check if the names of files are correct and such.

hope to fix it soon.

in not-working version:

guest mode
I changed the pictures to spritesheets.
I took out the "main menu", cause I realized it didnt do anything really :/

Soon updates:

I thought of this as I was playing VE: How do you guys feel about a flying skill? it would cost like 5 mana, wich is how much you start out with, so people could test it in guest mode without having to level.

I will attempt to change how all the movement works, so that I can make it a scroller . Then the levels wont be super tiny.
