Title: The Legend of the Phoenix (Single Player MUD RPG)
Post by: SneakyLeif1020 on August 19, 2012, 01:18:20 AM
VERSION 0.8.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Current News:
     Hey guys! New update with some pretty epic new features!
Here's your list:

     Some bugfixes:
-YES!!!!! I FINALLY FIXED THE REPEATING BATTLE BUG! :D
-Some minor movement bugs and other things related to the new
 controls.

     New features:
-Changed the controls! Move:WASD Action:E Save:X Stats:C
 Achievements:V
-Added an Achievements feature! Press V to get to it. Collect
 Achievements to compare with your friends. You can also earn
 Achievements Points that can be spent in special shops.

     Things that I KNOW I will be making.
-Currently working on a Quest Log, for when the game goes
 into "sandbox" mode in Chapter 2.
-Hoping to make a class feature soon, shouldn't be too hard.
-Hoping to make an Equip feature, so it doesn't just replace
 what you currently have equipped.

     Well, there you go. I wanted to release this (yes,
without more of the Chapter 1 demo, sorry.) so you guys will
know that I'm still working on this project (and pretty hard,
too!) even though I haven't posted an update in a few days.
     My guess is that the Achievements will be completely
finished and the Quest Log will be finished/close to done by
update 0.9.0. (Release 1.0 will be when Chapter 1 is
finished, so keep that in mind. This may go into 0.15.0-ish
before 1.0.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Previous News:
     New minor update has rolled around! Bug and script
change list:

     -Touched up the load menu with a few bugfixes.
     -Fixed the unfixable.A pesky bug that closes the game
      if you type anything that the menu doesn't understand.
      (No more random shutdowns!!)
     -Changed the battle script a little. Nothing too
      noticable.
     -Changed experience and max hp inflation.
     -Added Game Over. (oops, forgot that before..)
     -Fixed a fricken annoying (I mean that in two ways) bug
      that gave you a chance to get into a battle after
      entering "stats" or "save" (SO HARD TO FIX).

     This is (of course) a minor update, made to disclose
some of the recent bug finds & fixes, but I also have to tell
everyone that there's a horrible (not that bad) bug that I'm
working on fixing now. This bug makes it possible to get into
4 even 5 battles in a row. The only reason it stops after a
while is because there's still a 1 in 4 chance system it goes
through. Meh. Wish me luck.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Known Bugs:
     -[FIXED]Whenever you type something that the console doesn't understand, the program closes (I'd like help with this one).
     -[FIXED] Has problems saving.
     -[FIXED] Every time you load your game, your name gets a space added after it.
     -The multi-save feature is kind of buggy, but easily fixable.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information:
Yeah, I know that not many people are into MUD RPG's, and I'm really not much of a fan, but I'm trying my hand a scripting, and it's going along quite well! I decided to post this on a forum so I could get some people to test certain features and give me feedback. I'm coding this all in Notepad with batch scripting on Windows 7. I'll leave an attachment of what I have so far.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a list of the features that I have completed:
     -A good-looking Main Menu (With a load-friendly look)!
     -Save/Load Features. (Actually, autosave!)
     -All of the Chapter 0 storyline.
     -A text based map that shows up in Movement Mode.
     -Can now gain and lose currency! (Players start with 100g)
     -A shop system.
     -More than one save file.
     -Stat system.

A list of partially finished features:
     -A playable storyline.
     -Chapter 1 storyline.

A list of features I would like to see in the next few weeks:
     -An inventory (with money).
     -A class system that allows you to choose a class, which perminently affects your stats.

A list of features that I would like to use with the game, but will probably be too hard to script in notepad:
     -An economy system, that has working inflation and deflation
     -An interchangable class system that allows you to change classes when in the right area.
     -A multiplayer feature. Either online or local (This would be extremely hard. You would need to host a server).

I know that most of these ideas are probably not possible in notepad, but I'm hoping to try to get peoples help with this project!
Rock on everyone!!   :Plight: :happy: :Plight:

You have a download?
If you don't got one, you should ask for a move to Misc.

Anyways, sounds very interesting.
I'll definitely give it a shot.

ed: Sorry, didn't see it!

Lol.. Thanks for the quick reply! :D And I just added a download. So far, it's just a few features that I got done in a few hours. No playable game yet, I may need a little help with that. If you would text it and make sure all the features work fine? (Load won't work right)

This really shouldn't be under "Completed games and demos", so I'll move it to another board, but just let me know when you got a nice playable thing and I'll throw it back here.

Either way, seems like an interesting concept. I'll keep an eye out for it's development.

Thank you! :D I wasn't sure where to put this, but once I get some more help with batch coding I'll ask to place it back in Completed Games and Demos.  :Plight:

What is a MUD RPG? Like, a purely text based one?

Oh. I think the only one of those I ever played was the one on the computer in Fallout New Vegas.

Could be fun I suppose :)

I would love to see this implemented.
