If he did that it'd be hardly copying. Tons of games have it. Same with the spell system.

Thats like saying.. "Tons of games have characters who can walk, why cant mine have it"
.. im pointing to the actuall "casting animation".. spell thingy and so on. It highly reminds of Silverdale.. meh do as you like.. Im not saying you cant use the spell system, i just think it makes WW look like Silverdale more and more.. and i though you yourself didnt want that.. since you said yourself it wont be anything like silverdale.
Its the basic ideas i had which made my games good and unique.. You do as you want.

You really do confuse me.. One minute you're telling me the game is good and the next you're telling me it's too like Silverdale and you don't like it.
Casting animations, spell animations, casting time and cool down time are the RPG norm and have been for a while. SD + WW share the same basic principles but the systems are completely different.
Re: Winds Whisper - WIP - Mithlomion - 16-04-2008
Im talking about the Spell Casting Animation...
Ive never said i didnt like WW... Its just that the spell feature reminds me of silverdale.
Like i said, do whatever you like...
Re: Winds Whisper - WIP - Rezeyu - 16-04-2008
Mabinogi has a spell casting animation!
Joor Copiers.

Re: Winds Whisper Release! - Lamborghiniz - 08-08-2008
Nice, I may actually play this one, Though, Am I seeing things, Or is there 2 Option buttons?
Re: Winds Whisper Release! - Matt - 08-08-2008
It shows on the screenshot for some reason, but the first one, is for the little animal things that were possed to be in the game and such.
Re: Winds Whisper Release! - Robin - 08-08-2008
Server down. Re-working a couple of things then I'll re-release in a couple of days.
Huge thanks to those who played. Was a fun test and I now know what I need to work on before getting a more functional release out.
![[Image: test-1.png]](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e112/Kite_Minase/test-1.png)
Re: Winds Whisper Release! - Matt - 08-08-2008
I was on, but kept gettin' booted for opening doors.
And then I told Robin..
"It's not rape if you yell surprise first."
He was like..
"Surprise."
And chased me around for about 5 minutes, tryna rape me. ;-;
Someone in game respawned a map and I got booted. So, I didn't login again. >.>
Re: Winds Whisper Release! - Robin - 08-08-2008
Yeah. Atm the server stops processing movement when a warp happens or something, but the client doesn't.
I need to make it so players can't move whilst something like that is happening, then you wont get kicked.
Re: Winds Whisper Release! - jsventor - 08-08-2008
I get an automation error even after I register files >.
Re: Winds Whisper Release! - Robin - 08-08-2008
-sigh- It would be you, wouldn't it xD
It'll be fine once I remove all the Dx8 code from the source. Need to convert my music and sound system to something more suitable.
Besides, the test is over.
Re: Winds Whisper Release! - Robin - 08-08-2008
For anyone who missed the test, don't worry. You only missed a lot of running around through maps and cutting down a lot of trees.
Wait for the next version, which will have a small quest system for you to try out and some more advanced skills.
Here's a quick glimpse at the new GUI

Re: Winds Whisper Release! - Labmonkey - 08-08-2008
it looks the same
Re: Winds Whisper Release! - Robin - 08-08-2008
Yes.
Obviously.
I mean, these things don't look different at all.

Re: Winds Whisper Release! - GIAKEN - 08-08-2008
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better.
Re: Winds Whisper Release! - Robin - 08-08-2008
Which is why I'm doing it xD
Lighter GUI = win.

Then you need to get your fucking eyes checked out.
Yes, they're the same 'style'. That's the whole point. I'm upgrading the graphics to look nicer.

Do you sit at your computer repeatedly beating your head against your desk before you post here?
Re: Winds Whisper Release! - Labmonkey - 08-08-2008
they look nicer sheesh..
sorry for having an opinion :roll:
Re: Winds Whisper Release! - GIAKEN - 08-08-2008
You didn't even have an opinion it was just a stupid statement you said earlier.
And I don't know how I am typing so fast right now it's awesome.

Rofl. "it looks the same" is not an opinion. It's a statement.
Me saying these two look the same:

Isn't an opinion. It's a statement. Just like saying the sky is blue and grass is green. They aren't opinions, they're statements.
If you said 'I think they look similar', that would be an opinion.
Sure, the general idea behind your post was an opinion, but your actual linguistical articulation of that idea was you stating it as a fact.
