Pirate Story Online

[Matt]

You're right. I completely forgot about that.

[David David]

The Bear and Polar bear are only for event items to drop for people, or the hide and seek game. The blob, is just a blob, pirates don't kill very much, other then humans. I'm not gonna make all the monsters a different kind of human. Therefore i will use monsters. Such as blob. There is ALWAYS going to be something in a game that doesn't have to fit in with the time frame.

But we aren't making the game on Mirage anymore i don't think. We have someone coding in C++ on a Isometric Engine he made along time ago.

[Tony]

And why are they so similar to Maple Story? It's like a generic.

[Matt]

His graphics remind me of Maple Story mixed with NaMz's work.

[GIAKEN]

The eyes are almost, if not, identical.

[David David]

We finished the isometric part! ;D, coding custom engine.

[Tony]

Lol I just noticed that it's Pirate Story,

your probably basing alot of things off of MS huh?

[David David]

Actually tony it is all coincidence. The Sprites have a custom body, the head has different shape, the only thing you can REALLY pull off of is eyes and mouth, but the eyes drag out move, with a longer pupil. And mouth, i have no idea, they look the same, just more shading around it on ours

[Anthony]

Tony. You're being a douche. His sprites are similar but who cares? At least they aren't using RMXP.

[David David]

Thank you anthony ;]

[Tony]

Tony. You're being a douche. His sprites are similar but who cares? At least they aren't using RMXP.

Lol, you make it sound like I really dropped 1000 pounds on this topic.

He stated it was a coincidence, I didn't argue with that.

I can't find a reason to make a big deal out of it, I'm just saying it like it is,
Didn't know everyone could get so butt ugly about it.

"it is what it is..."

Meh, tony just stated what he thought and you took it in a bad way. I think the sprites are fine, so what if they are vaguely similar.

[David David]

No it's no problem, i have no problem with some criticism.
Helps me think, and it let's me know what i need to work on or what i need to change.

[Anthony]

Well it's just that it seemed as if he was trying to accuse him of attempting to replicate Maple Story. Anyways. Sorry.

Well we finally got something up. This is the character walking on Engine. It's real plain and simple, no chat box, no inventory no anything, just a engine with the player movement, still a lot of things to take care of but things should start to move fairly quickly.

[David David]

OKAY if you would like to test out the offline animation tests and landscape tests here they are.

Choose the second one the one that says landscape. The first one is sort of glitched, the second one only has 2 glitches, the screen flickers. Also the Character wants to face forward when stopped moving still. Will be changed, and will have a GUI coded in soon. Then it's on to client/server coding.

[Mithlomion]

That is pretty cool.. allthrough i'd be cooler i the tiles werent so big. And if you could walk straight to.

[Tony]

Yeah, that's cool.

Did you only have to draw 2 frames, and flip them? + animated them?

[David David]

I'm going to be posting an update later, we finally got a server up and stuff. So it won't be long till we code in our new animated GUI and get working.

[David David]

Okay, we got a new GUI implemented, it's not finished, we have to make up picture screens for EVERYTHING, so we are making the rest of the GUI, then we have to loop everything through server, well what's needed. Then we can start creating the world. Here is a little screenshot.

ugly stone is ugly

[David David]

Oh no.
It was an environmental test. So we just ripped things off the internet.
We have it as Object not tile. So instead of placing 30 tiles to make a building. We place the whole object. And it worked so good stuff ;D

[KruSuPhy]

Big map is big ._.

[David David]

Yah there's ALOT of land.

[David David]

Okay, i updated the front page on some art work, new GUIs, i know the GUIs are too big, so just click the link i provided under it.
