I personally like the new HUD better!
Haha thank you, it will only get better  UPDATE: Added ability to collapse the HUD straight into 3 bars instead of displaying a lot of info (and taking up screen space) Uncollapsed:  Collapsed:

I like the collapse-able feature. I just think it'd look better if the bars were one solid colour. The white on them clashes slightly with the text. So #2;

Why are all OpenGL tutorials written in Brainf**k?

Would be very cool if you could record yourself coding! I just like to watch people code while I code too, although I have no idea why!

Haha thanks, willl do! I use Java NIO. There's no way you could make a game like this with Java RMI, not to mention its not portable. Would be very cool if you could record yourself coding! I just like to watch people code while I code too, although I have no idea why!
As you wish ;P http://www.youtube.com/v/zxfd9labKFc?version=3&hl=en_US&start=Just me coding skill effects into the game then showing how it's all synchronized at the end of the video

It's been a while since I updated this, but I'd like to give you all an update on what's been done! UPDATES: - Character emotions now work.
- Weapon has swing sound effect and slash effect. I'll post a video later
 - Equips now synchronized between clients - If I wear an equip you'll see it on me
- Redid the entire GUI.
- Skills can now be casted, their effects will be applied and the skill effects will be displayed.
- Backgrounds are now gaussian blurred, to achieve the illusion of depth.

Will the chat have colour coding, or will it all be purple?
I'm quite excited for the game. Do you guys have a website for it yet?

I hope you move the username outside of the actual chat bubble that comes from the player, say to the top left of it in it's own little piece. As is, I thought you typed the name out, then noticed that was the player name. Sorta something like the phantasy star games use:

Just thought i'd show a screenshot showing a big subset of all the monsters we currently have:  Your monsters sure do look a lot like the ones from MapleStory.  You should tell the guys in your 20+ man 'studio' to come up with original monsters. Im sure it will make you more successful btw.  Example:

I think the art looks great. its not hard to tell that this game is inspired by maple story. Although i would change some of the more obvious ones like the identical green blobs just to avoid copyright issues.

@unenergizer Yeah, some of them do bare a resembleance but we'll be changing things around eventually  I think the art looks great. its not hard to tell that this game is inspired by maple story.

Thank you  UPDATE: Getting new hairstyles/faces into the game  New mob: bear  Currently we have about 5 different faces and hairstyles, this will be about 20 during alpha

Haha yeah he's floating like 2 pixels above.. It's because I didn't align the ground colliding line segments and the crates together properly, I just threw that map together to test with

This game is really coming along!  Cant wait to play it! But... Some of your characters are dangerously close to maplestory characters. I understand inspired art, but thats not fair to maplestory artists. And i'd hate to see a game as good as this one get ruined by that.

Haha okay  The game looks really nice, your networking stuff seems to work very good! impressive  The networking was the biggest pain to get right  Getting perfectly synchronized 2d movement (not taking into account latency) was actually the biggest problem I encountered while developing this game, not to mention instantaneous monster knockback, instantaneous damage display, server controlled monsters, mirrored MersenneTwisters, etc.. solved it all with tricks like linear interpolation, extrapolation, latency compensation, mirror seeds etc haha. Not to mention the packet encryption (AES-128 + custom bitwise encryption & RSA-2048) took me a good few months to devise and test properly haha  And thankyou, really appreciate that  This game is really coming along!  Cant wait to play it! But... Some of your characters are dangerously close to maplestory characters. I understand inspired art, but thats not fair to maplestory artists. And i'd hate to see a game as good as this one get ruined by that. Haha yeah I understand some of the mobs are pretty close, hence why we're changing up some stuff before actual release.  And thanks! Really appreciate it!
