     IRC Nickname: Group: Guest Posts: 41 Member No.: 1292 Joined: August 24, 2008 Total Events Attended: 0    | I will use this topic to let you all know the progress on Shadowcast which Gene and I have taken up again.  Since we've only just begun there is tons to do but I am adding new things every day. Features so far:  Working game - You can walk around, battle and so on. Crafting - The system works as intended, I would like ideas on item recepies. More on crafting further down. Set items - collect set's and get bonuses to stats and other things. Unique items - Sort of like sets except they work on their own. /examine - Look at other peoples worn equipment. Fully working genders - Make male and female characters of each class. Books - Pick up and read books. /qlog - Shows the quests you are on and how many you have completed. Fishing - 5 types of fish, your line can break and the fishes eat your bait. Titles - You killed a might dragon and saved the princess.... Now what? You get the title of Knight ofcourse! Gain a number of different titles.Working on:  Maps maps and lots of maps - I want the tutorial town done before we release an alpha. Pet system - I think I almost got it working but yet not. Music - Go go go Gene, We're up and running! Suggestions, ideas - I try to implement anything cool I think of, and I'm open to play ideas! Player owned shops - Got the whole thing working EXCEPT for buying items on the market, and I can't seem to figure out where the bug is.... Ahh well, it'll come to me. The Shadowcast and songs - The heroes might instrument of ages past.Details of the systems in place: Graphics: 16 bit 2D graphics. This is what works for me, what I know how to implement and it's all my engine runs. Crafting: The crafting in shadowcast is both advanced and so simple. There are no crafting levels, no crafting exp. To craft you need a recipe or blueprint, simple ones might be purchased in shops, while others may be researched and yet some are quest rewards or mob drops! Then you ofcourse need a tool, introduce the portable crafting station and you have everything you need right at hand. Then you need your materials. Some materials are mundane while others are more mysterious in nature. I am always accepting ideas for blueprints and recipies. To give you an idea of what recipies look like, to make a jeweled dagger you would needs 1 weak dagger and 2 jewels and the recipe for daggers. You would place you recipe in the recipe slot, your materials in your portable crafting device and then use the device, wala, you have a jeweled dagger which now does more damage and has more durability. Many kinds or items can be made this way, in fact, anything that can be done within the engines limits, can be made a recipe with this crafting system.

Planned changes to the tradeskill system is fishing, cooking, mining and lumberjacking which will all be used in with the crafting system to create items. -------------------- | ||

Currently working on implementing the Shadowcast and song pages / books. Fixed a little screwup with fishing.  Now you can only fish on designated fishing maps. EDIT again: Removed the player shops, it was causing alot of problems and I couldn't figure out why it was working, and then suddently everything stopped working. :/ -------------------- | ||
