[Preview] Plus! RPG by Spunky on 07-19-2008 at 03:16 PM

Ok, some of you know that I'm making this, others don't. I've reached a stage now where I want to know what people think so far... Not all graphics are finished yet, i want to try and get some help with that aspect. At the moment it is possible to play to a certain extent.

RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Eddie on 07-19-2008 at 03:19 PM

Wow, that actually looks quite good, im not much of an RPG person myself, but this looks like quite an advanced and well worked script, nice job! :D


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by joey on 07-19-2008 at 04:01 PM

WOW, that has come on awesome! but you beter try and finish it quick before your bundle of no sleep, food or spare time comes :P


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Nathan on 07-19-2008 at 04:28 PM

It looks amazing! Wow how long has that taken you?


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by andrewdodd13 on 07-19-2008 at 04:38 PM

That looks pretty damned amazing, I must say. "I'd play that."

You coded this as a script? :|


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by joey on 07-19-2008 at 04:53 PM

iirc he started it in mid-may.


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Spunky on 07-19-2008 at 05:49 PM

Yeah, about mid-May... It's all coded in JScript and XML; I wanted to show the power of scripts and just how nice we can make the interfaces look to try and retake some of the scripters-turned-skinners :p

I'm planning to make it possible for Player vs Player fights as well as being able to make clans (and actually be able to quest together)


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Jimbo on 07-19-2008 at 07:04 PM

That has come on alot since you sent me a beta!!! Nice job Spunky!!


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Nathan on 07-19-2008 at 07:59 PM

Spunky lol amazing work, but a game like this - the possibilites are endless. So you'll say that and code it, and then you'll think of another idea and start coding it - we won't have it until 2010 :D


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by MeEtc on 07-19-2008 at 08:04 PM

does it interact with your contacts at all? or just single player

RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Nathan on 07-19-2008 at 08:32 PM

It'd be friggin awesome if you could trade items and stuff


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Spunky on 07-19-2008 at 09:50 PM

How about submitting quests and items etc for other people to download?


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by NanaFreak on 07-20-2008 at 01:30 AM

i will beta test this for you... i play alot of RPG games =p so yea... i can help out if you want...

its looking really good and i hope that you do keep working on this


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Basilis on 07-20-2008 at 01:12 PM

That looks amazing Spunky. I would certainly play a game like that. :D


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Nathan on 07-20-2008 at 01:55 PM

Maybe Patchou could sponser you? This is quite a big thing you know - the messenger games aren't even as advanced as this (at least when its finished they wont be) . This is the first Messenger RPG never mind plus RPG. This is something that could promote Messenger Plus! Live even more!

I'm making the website for him, and it's going to have some nice features like userpages with stats of each person etc.

This is going to be awesome when it's finished!


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Justin on 07-20-2008 at 02:17 PM

Just a quick question, do you play with everyone who has the script or just the people on your contact list who has the script?

If I make a clan option, you should be able to play with anyone that joins your clan. Also player vs player should be able to search a list of other people waiting to fight (kinda like how guitar hero 3 works on the wii)
RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Menthix on 07-20-2008 at 11:35 PM

I remember seeing an early screeny from this :). Looks amazing, haven't seen so much GUI in a script before. Drop me a message if you're looking for testers.

Agreed, i can at least do my best to promote it in the scripts DB.

RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Th3rmal on 07-21-2008 at 07:53 AM

Seems awesome. Something to be definitely looking forward to.  Any possible ETA?

I would also be happy to test this :)


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Chrono on 07-21-2008 at 08:36 AM

amazing :P. You should add a chrongue mask as a legendary item of some sort :refuck:


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Menthix on 07-21-2008 at 12:42 PM

Hah, subtle references to the Plus! community in items and quests would be epic!

banhammer


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Nathan on 07-21-2008 at 01:15 PM

MenthiX I have an idea - Speak to me on msn please!


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by roflmao456 on 07-21-2008 at 04:51 PM

my suggestions:

  • Make the shop so that it loads items from a web server.. (id use XML)
  • Buddy list or chatting in quests (if multi-player)
  • Viewing of other player's HP/MP, level, etc.
  • Fix the Shape function causing the grey bg in the special shaped windows (happens to xp users like me =P)
  • Display welcome/registration screen when script first installed
  • Save HP/MP/Level/items to webserver so that it can be used anywhere
  • Item trading
  • Private messaging :P
  • Admin panel (to set rights such as "Owner", "Admin", "Normal"; or to :banh:)...
  • Website: View stats and stuff, create clan, register, login (and ability to change pw)
  • Login screen.. (Remember me, Remember my Password, Sign in automatically)

RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by CookieRevised on 07-21-2008 at 07:21 PM

Putting all the suggestions from roflmao456 together sounds more like a Messenger Activity....

Which is not a bad idea at all. You can probably do everything with it you can do now with your script, with the added benefit of having something which is already realy integrated in Messenger so you can easly chat with your contact. (and which people without Plus! can also run)

And if you take the popular GroupChat bot as an example, you can even incorporate the whole RPG world right into a bot (even with pictures in the activity panel if you like) so the bot can 'control' what you're doing and/or telling where you are, etc.... And it has no limits in how many people are chatting at the same time or with whom.

Of course, all this could be backed up by a Plus! script too (adding more features or special Plus!-powers for example; which is also a kind of an advertising for Plus!)

;)


the hardest thing to make in games is not the GUI, but the gameplay and gamelogic itself. The screenshots show very nice things already though. I hope it gets finished... it seems like a massive undertaking... (y)


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by prashker on 07-21-2008 at 09:55 PM

oh what's that, do I have the Pre-Alpha script with me, I think I do.

<3, good job, even though I can actually use it :banana:

yes, I forced SLM to work on this forever and ever.

put a picture of your baby in a easter egg :cheesy:

let others do their suggestions, i've already given you a quadrillionz :p


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Patchou on 07-22-2008 at 07:27 AM

wow, me want it


RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by Chris4 on 07-22-2008 at 07:33 AM

RE: [Preview] Plus! RPG by SmokingCookie on 02-12-2009 at 08:55 PM

Suggestion: have an XML file define the actual storyline so that the game can run several storylines.
