You should do something about the fonts in the LWJGL version. Other than that, wonderful work! I imagine this project becoming something big - Jev

I don't even see a difference!!  Good job though, that's very impressive that you've managed this  I noticed over 100FPS difference.

Looking really good so far! It probably needs some differentiation from... you know, but I'm loving your progress so far! Keep up the good work!

40 sounds pretty short - one of my email addresses is 35 characters, for example. Just make it 100, why not?

Haven't posted here in a while so I thought I'd give everyone an update!  Implemented: Parties - You can form a party, invite people and EXP/Renos (currency) obtained from monster kills will be shared between the party.Quests - You can now do quests provided by NPCs to attain extra items, experience or advantages (such as ability to wield certain items)Tutorial is now coded, tutorial will teach players nearly everything they need to begin their adventure in the game Guilds - Players may now form guilds to gather together like minded players or friends to do certain guild quests and attain guild advantages.Screenshot of a tutorial map: (disabled background on purpose)  Screenshot of parties working:  (Still working on making it look nice, but the point is it works!!) Working on next: Mining - Fixing up the mining system so you attain ores from mining rocksForging - Redesigning the forge UI so that different weapons and armours can be forged by playersConstruction - Players may build their own houses by buying a piece of land etc, not sure if this will make it into Alpha though, since it's a huge task

Wow. I must ask; how did you learn to create such good art? It's amazing! I can't even draw 32x32 sprites.  I don't haha. I'm just the programmer. I have hired a team of artists. 1 programmer, 10 artists = THIS! For the benefit of some of us chaps newer to game development, would you care to expand on how you found and hired artists? And how did you manage them to get the desired outcome? (Managing 10 people is no mean feat, in any industry!). Cheers, nerb.

And how did you manage them to get the desired outcome? (Managing 10 people is no mean feat, in any industry!). Cheers, nerb. Sure thing! For starters, I went onto DeviantART, made a post and I got about 200+ notes from it (great selection of artists to pick from), asked them to do a small trial job (for example, I asked most of mine to draw a butterfly or a flower) and if I liked it I would hire them for a week to produce x amount of assets, if I was happy with that I'd hire them for another week and so on. Many of these artists I've found this way I've had for many months now, it's a great way to get quality art. I can also say PixelJoint.com is pretty good for finding pixel artists (which I have a few working for this game atm)

UPDATE: Added support for widescreen laptop resolutions! (1366x768)  Implemented more equipment sets as you can see. We're also implementing more equipment sets as we speak:  WARRIOR  GENERIC Working on: - Rewriting the sprite recolorer to use OpenGL shaders instead of CPU pixel manipulation. (for LWJGL mode) - Implementing more maps (sorry about not giving full visual updates, we're actually going to revamp every single map and make them super pretty) next update we'll show some pretty maps, promise!  In fact we already have all the graphics ready   - mining: working on implementing different kinds of rocks and ores, and ability to forge these into weapons. - working on the game engine so that it can scale to any resolution, whether fullscreen or windowed. Stay tuned!

It looks great, the art is amazing. Do you pay the artists? 1366 x 768 is the resolution of my laptop

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

Looks really nice, good work. I have two areas of improvement though: - The grey background of the name in my opinion looks quite ugly. Change the colour to something that looks nicer and that contrasts nicely in all locations, or if that isn't possible, you could make it a certain colour depending on the character location.
- The speech bubble looks ugly. It doesn't really work with the nice backgrounds. Anything other than solid grey. I'm sure one of your artists could make something that looks nice.

As for the gray background, I really dont know what other color to make it, so if you have a suggestion go ahead  And yeah, I'm going to redo the speech bubble with pixel art instead of paint so it fits with the characters, should be simple Thanks for the feedback, really appreciated!  Also another update: With the last update support for Java2D was completely dropped, the game now requires at least OpenGL 2.0 or OpenGL ES 2.0 to run, shader support is now mandatory.

I love the lighting.  For the name tag background, maybe a translucent cyan or light grey?

Looks good but why is the characters default expression telling me they are "depressed" or have daddy issues? They look so upset man lol.
EDIT: Just seen the new ones! never mind haha. Very nice work.
