My question to that would be about respawning... Don't all monsters respawn somewhere else in the same map? So after "slaying" this one, another one would appear right afterwards. Or can there be a delay of, say, 24hrs to the next respawn, so everyone can get a crack at it, after lvlng up for the challenge? But i guess that's to be worked on after the project if finished, of course. Maybe some day i can be that good at pixelation. :D
Why dont we do like WOW and reserve a map for the party so that there can be more then one party at a dungeon at the same time and that will also force the player to join a party, after killing the last boss in the dungeon all the members of that party have to wait an XX hrs to enter the dungeon again.

We will have to make a system that support that way of doing it, but ill say its worth it just look at WOW one of the best thing in the game.

Instancing is against the MMO spirit, in my opinion. The idea of playing massive multiplayer online games is that you share a game world with the maximum number of people. When you want to hunt monsters alone in your own private dungeon with only a few selected friends you could just play a normal multiplayer game.

By the way: World of Warcraft didn't invent instancing. I've already seen it in Anarchy Online (even with randomly generated maps) in 2001.

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Hmm ill see your point and i have to agree whet you on that one, but still i think we have to find a way so the boss isnt going to be huntet by a party of high level so there are no room for the other players.

This thread is about pixellating the dragon.

Please discuss the gameplay related topics in the appropriate section. A lot of GFX threads derail because of those.

Just request a topic split from a moderator when you feel the need.

Try and animate your monsters before you pixel them in

Yes, the technique of drawing through / on the concept is quite solid. It just requires the full conceptual work to be done.
