wyatt 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2010 Some of you might know of the Vengeance project or may have played it in the past. In 2010 the game was scrapped completely. In replacement I started coding a game in php, online, in a browser. This was a mistake at first but the game went online in less than a day and already had players. It has been growing steadily since and now there is actual gameplay, with new content being released at the moment on a daily basis. Vengeance is under construction but growing fast. You may encounter bugs from time to time and some features are obviously lacking, broken, or still being made. Don't take anything as final. Your accounts however should be fine! Structure Vengeance is created using PHP and javascript, with phpBB providing a base for account authentication and forum posting. It uses graphics provided by First Seed Material and others created by myself. It is played in a 640x480 screen, which I find to be a challenging task which I want to keep. There are currently a few RPG Maker graphics from older forms of Vengeance when I used RPG Maker, these are placeholders and will be removed. Accessing the game http://www.vengeance-rpg.com if you want a snazzy RPG-Maker like window http://www.vengeance-rpg.com/v/ if you want to keep it in your browser space How do I play the game? The majority is done using the world map system, which is just an image with some links on it. You browse the map, and then use the "action" system to move around, visit places, talk to NPCs, etc. You gain gold as you play, I am not revealing the algorithms and they are ever changing as I tweak and balance the game. You can at current spend this money on items in shops. You can also gain gold by referring other players; how to do this is shown in game on the main screen. News You can read the quick development log here: www.twitter.com/vengeancerpg You can find more extensive news in the game, in the "Design Notes" section. Quests Quests are under construction. You can complete most of the first one, but there is no reward yet. The second is in development and they will both be finished around the same time. The current "testquest" storyline revolves around vampires. Players Let me know if you're playing and I'll put your sig here. This is for my ref really but it can form a rudimentary leaderboard for now! Me (though my stats are constantly changing through testing): Screenshots? You'll see a lot of actions such as: while playing the game. Ok, have some proper screenshots. System Requirements You must have javascript enabled for the domains: vengeance-rpg.com jquery.com jquery is a javascript library, visit the jquery.com website for more information. Otherwise your gameplay will be severely hindered. I may block users who do not have javascript activated in future because this may cause unfair advantages; it doesn't at the moment (other than making screens such as the inventory just not work). Inspiration The Netplay project for getting me into creating MMOs, VDex for making me realise my old idea of making games using forums could actually work W3schools for teaching me PHP Tomas for helping me with javascript and showing me better ways of doing things Everyone who helped me with Vengeance before <3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FranklinX 37 Report post Posted December 22, 2010 Congrats on making an online game. Not too many people can say those words! I have seen plenty of games like this one. What makes your game standout? Will you keep the current battle system. I really dislike the first person view in RPG games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Free To Play 3 Report post Posted December 22, 2010 So it's a clicker game. Those are always good time killers. I'll offer to be a beta tester. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wyatt 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2010 Thanks! The game's already fully online though :) On the battle system: yeah, I know it's pretty boring at the moment, but what is up there is just a pure skeleton pretty much, there is a lot more to come battle-wise.
