SkyQuest (WIP)

[Nean]

Game looks cool You have so much done, I wouldn't bother transferring it to a new engine. Keep it running on XW, learn to program yourself, and start a second project.

And mattyw, there are no scripters here. This is a programming community. You're running with the big dogs now, get it right.

I know I have tons done, but the thing is that XW is restricting the game so much, and due to the fact that there is going to be none (or very little) new development.... I really want to move to a different engine. The way I see it is, if I can just transfer the maps at the very least, the rest can be done with a little concentrated effort.

Xw doesn't even have -

A decent P2P trading system (visual)
A Crafting window
Hard Coded Skills like fishing. (i had to script it myself, which is very limitied)
The party system is flawed...
And not to mention... well... there are no skills?? (I have to make spells, and then script the whole skill etc for every single skill, which is still very limited.)
Plenty more... (what I wish is that he would make it open source, so that I could modify very little and make it happen.....)

- My coding/scripting/programming (what ever you want to call it) skill is pretty limited, and due to the fact that I'm in my senior year and frantically applying to colleges etc, i have very little time to learn :/

(Rock and a hard place apparently)

I'm British! I get Scripting/Programming mixed up at times. =-p

I mean, look at Robin. *cough* Heh.

Scripting < Programming.

But I'm sure it wouldn't take long for Afide to get back to where he is, using MS, even further. =-p

If I could get someone to work with me and develop a good engine, I think SkyQuest could surpass many of the bigger 2D MMO's of today... :]

I hate to say it, but if you're looking for an engine that has loads of features, don't go with MS4. If you're looking for a good basis for an engine to make a game, go with MS4. It has good code, and a good community, however most stuff you'll have to program yourself.
