Re: Redesigning the mana World

Designing a world is so much fun it is really easy to get captivated by the process and be carried away far far from where the process is now. Now THERE is my thought process. It's a big big world. My hypocrisy of course is that I started on Tonori before the CR projects existed and fleshed it out ...

Re: Redesigning the mana World

That guy John P works too much, but he thankfully is still employed. You are right Ivy, there are articles that contradict each other. This will be the case as I ever-so-slowly transfer from eAthena story to Manaserv story. I leave proposal labels on texts so people like you feel more welcome to add...

Re: Character Skin Colors

The second topic in the backstory, Before The Quake , outlines the four races which were loosely based on the images found in http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Man. Just as a personal goal, if CR2 centers around Port City (which it should), Tritans (Tritons) will hopefully be introduced, if not...

Re: Small Task No 4 (Pixelart Challenge) - Shapes of Soul Menhir

http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Soul_Menhir Soul Menhir are rare; found by miners who sell them for substantial amounts of money to cities or private (wealthy) citizens. SO WHAT? They might have been transported from any of the discovery places to wherever they are now, so don't think "i...

Thanks to Jaxad

Thanks for doing so much work on the wiki the other day, on top of all of the other work you do to make this game better.

(I know you probably got my PM, but I thought a little public recognition was in order)
Cheers

Re: [WIP] Playerset - CR1 - Fother J

I don't pixel art. Last weekend I planned to rework the wiki to separate eA and TMW as well as provide a road map for CR1, including progress and requests. I think such an obvious plan would attract more contributors. So much work needs done, and many artists (or developing artists) are afraid to ta...

Re: new building

I think the ground tiles are too nice for this village. Save the prestige for Port City.

Awesome building angles by the way

Re: [WIP] Playerset - CR1 - Fother J

I'm thinking I need to do a better job of articulating :wink: It seemed clear to me that a complete playerset was necessary to proceed with anything. I wasn't sure if there was a confirmed list of animations, because, as Meway stated, sometimes things get discussed in IRC and are not recorded into t...

With the goal of having the back story worked into the game, so the player would know at least the gist just by playing!

Re: [WIP] Playerset - CR1 - Fother J

Did that last night in irc oh yea sorry for whoever caught the brief of that. 1.) Two hand swing attack 2.) Attack animation for weapons which have a long stick in them 3.) prep magic This is what is to be added? Completely or just for CR1? Just to clarify, is there an absolute (complete) list of a...

Re: new building [CR1?]

Its very grand. I like the blend of stone and wood. Can this building set the theme for the entire village? The village is presumably doing well (through Academy support), but should two-story buildings be reserved for the church and the inn, or just for whatever? (Sorry for content talk, I hoped it...

Re: Forum reorganization January 2010

The overlap mostly comes from the confusion we've had for a long time. Just plain moving the topics from under eA to the correct read only section is one approach I'm considering here, but there must have been a reason why the artists in question put the topics there in the first place, so I'd like...

Re: Forum reorganization January 2010

Thoughts on reorganization: It looks brilliant and the organization is fantastic. I only have two concerns. First a minor one - Off Topic is above Player Talk which is misleading as to the forum's importance. Perhaps until there is a dedicated (and populated) TMW server, Player Talk can be a "G...
