HalfmoonMUD Project

[Sylvie]

Okay, so I am starting a game called "HalfmoonMUD" using the program Game Maker. I think Game Maker is a great program, which is great for beginners such as me.

This game is inspired by DeviousMUD by Andrew Gower. DeviousMUD was the first version of Runescape. I saw a screenshot and thought the graphics looked cool, with the Isometric stuff. So this is what inspired me. I actually hate Runescape, to be honest. But I have lots of memories with it, since I used to play.

Here is what the sprites of the game will look like.


They are obviously inspired by DeviousMUD (Screenie below)


I am going to be starting on it relatively soon. It is going to start off as just single player. Once I have at least an area to explore and something to kill/do, people will be able to test it.

Any Ideas, comments, thoughts, concerns, etc. will be appreciated. I will keep you posted with the stages of the game. So tell me what you think!

I'm interested in seeing how this turns out. Be careful with the hit detection.

Good luck with it! I used to use Game Maker to create some pretty simple platform games, ages ago. I really do like the program, has a lot of freedom and versitility.

Thanks guys! I really can't wait to start it. I am taking a class for Game Maker, since Monday. Ends on Friday. Hopefully I can learn some cool stuff from it.

You're not going to try to convert him to C++?

Bipper, I am pretty sure MUDs can have graphics, can't they?

I've played some pretty cool Game Maker games (one of them was like Megaman, only you're a rebellious met hat), so good luck.

He will find his way :meditate:

And no, graphical muds cannot exist. They have actually been called Vmuds for Visual Muds. Also, a mud must be completely dependant on a text area to operate as any type of mud. If I ever get arround to resurecting a mud server, I will have to let you play one. They are better than any graphical imagenatary controceptive, by far.

And use c++.
