As you all know, we have been silently prototyping the RPG project for a while now, mainly in the form of Levels and design.

Today marks the day of the more official start of the project, with a name, a domain, and something hinting at a game design.

Check out the website: http://eisenstern.com/

Particularly note the design notes linked from that page. If you want to have your say about the direction this RPG is going, or feel that certain features "won't work well", then now is a good time to discuss that, in this thread :)

Just because we have a website doesn't mean that we should start announcing this project everywhere, unlike most people, I don't like advertising thing that I am going to do, I prefer showing what I have done :) But it is good to have a home for the project, because we'll shift a lot of our focus towards it as the FPS is getting more mature.

I will be doing some of the core gamecode for this project soon, so people can start to play around with it.

#192: Does movespeed work

by rknigh21 on 08/30/2007 08:41

Hi
Does movespeed work. If I set it for the wolf it does not seem to make any difference. Currently if you can run away from any monster then you can do anything just by running in doing it and running out again!

Thanks Robin

#193: It's too BLOODY...

It is kinda funny getting a small pond of blood out of a single rat. I guess at some point we'll have to make a "blood output" system to keep rats from bleeding as much as dragons.

IIRC, rats bleed MORE than dragons because they have more HP.

When are non-developers going to be able to check it out? I'm really looking forward to it, and I hope I'll be able to try it out soon.

#200: eisenstern ideas

by comeonhaloplayers34569 on 09/14/2007 02:33

ok,

right now eisenstern is pretty bad because of the fact(s) that all you can buy are apples and what ever you sell the guy,the only weapon you have is fists, and whenever you edit a map the lighting gets messed up, the grass turns black, and all the buildings are impossible to see when your in them. Now for a start you guys should at least finish up the first map, then make at lest 2 more weapons (i.e Iron sword, wooden bow) Then make more quests beside \\\"go kill a wolf and you get an apple\\\". Then when those things are finished everyone will be happy for a while

#201: How to Run

by tman_elite on 09/14/2007 02:36

I still need to know how to run it... I'm running Ubuntu linux. Anyone know how?

#202: Re: How to Run

by noerrorsfound!!! on 09/14/2007 03:51, refers to #201

Did you read the readme? Use -grpg when starting the game (such as sh sauerbraten_unix -grpg or insert in the startup script).

dude... I'm not even going to bother correcting everything that's wrong with what you just said. Do us all a favor and shut up.

Yeah... improper use of English, little punctuation, 4 attempts to complete the math puzzle, not knowing how editing works ;)

The last real change to Eisenstern's code was well over six months ago. It'd be further along if.. ah forget about it.

by demosthenes on 09/14/2007 20:36, refers to #206

What can we do to aid the speed of development?
