testing... mic check, 1, 2, check, check.

Something like that but more like the traditional 2D NES RPG games like Final Fantasy, etc.

All, Once again I'm sorry about the delay, work has been crazy with all these projects. :( I have the entire week off (almost) so I'll be working on the GUI. I have several unfinished menus, documents, and other items I need to work on. In the meantime here is a sample of what I've been working on. ...

All,

Sorry I've been really busy working lately and so I haven't been around. I'm finishing up a few projects this weekend so I'll be around more next week.

I have been working on UI/GUI for The Mana World plus a few other small projects, I'll show you want I've got in a few days.

All, I am still working away on the GUI for the game. It should replace ALL GUI from the server login to the chat windows, to item lists (weapons, etc). I'm sorry this is taking longer then I hoped, I'm getting killed with work! So I haven't had as much time to work on TMW as I would have liked. You...

is all this artwork ORIGINAL? I have to ask because i think you stuff is really good but we can only use artwork that is 100% original artwork.

well the "real map" elements are already being replaced, however since it's not a top priority right now, i'm not going to put too much time on it.

We are using something called "eAthena." It's a RO server emulator.

Eventually we will end up writing our own server, however for now it does the trick.

is there a reason you don't want to login? what's the interest in the programming? are you starting a game of your own.

I just wanted to thank NEV for the cool artwork that we are using for our logo on the Forums page. I think the logo on the main page and the forums page turned out pretty good.

Now all we have to do if fix the logo on the game itself so it looks a bit better. (Hint, hint programming dudes)

Don't worry about it Nev, I'm going to take over the task of creating tiles. After talking with Elven I'm going to assign some of the creative guys/gals around here some specific tasks instead of asking everybody to work on everything.

I'll have some specific things for you to work on Nev.

neoriceisgood,

can i ask how you created these? what programs do you use?

well... sometimes i ask myself what is being worked on... Same here. We have a lot of talented people here who have some good ideas and are interested in helping out, but it's hard to see what people are working on because people only seem to post when they are finished with their projects. Rotonen...

I don't know if you guys know about this...

I know it would be a lot of work to add this type of RPG system into the game but I think it would be worth it in the long run.

Any programmers up to the challenge?

I think we are getting ahead of ourselves a bit by developing monsters and whatnot. Since we are still in early phase of development designers should concentrate on TILES, and Players. Game/Level Designers should concentrate on only a few (2 or 3) levels for game play testing. Other important things...
