Is the project still alive ? Can we play on it ?
I can't connect to the website nor server...

This project is in vacancy for now, the server and the site is offline.

I'm messing around with the idea of starting development again. I was thinking about combing as much woa and tmw content (with the intent of replacing the Tmw content as time goes on), as past attempts proved promising.



I've also started messing around with new concepts

I'm thinking about not going with a job system (as that doesn't appear to be possible at this time) and treating the sprites in the same way as TMW, this would mean a lot of work and head aches long-term.

Here's the woa/tmw art files in a zip if anyone is interested (I still need to add some of the recolored tmw stuff)

More boobs please.

This made me spit my drink out, Just saying.

Things to do before we can start building the game:

*Finish attack/dead animations for the female base

*Create a full naked female sprite sheet (and improve the side view walking animation)

*Create a full naked male sprite sheet

*Separate the equipment/hair from the sprite
Example *Finish town tileset (I had to reconstruct it from the screenshot as I lost the original) *Recolor and edit what we can from TMW

*organize tilesets

If anyone can help with any of this, it would be most appreciated. Here's an updated zip http://www.filedropper.com/woa2

More boobs please.

If you can find someone willing to do all the editing, go for it. I've had enough of messing around with the boobs (can't believe I'm writing that).

I'm going to take the time to rough out an idea of basic game play Here's how I envision equipment acquisition in WOA (its just an example, the ice dagger and steel shield are from TMW), anything past tier 2 will be very hard to get (to get better than tier 2 you'll need to buy it from a master player craftsman, grind for it, or do an end game quest). Also note that not all equipment within the same tier will be made equally (there will be more than 1 type of dagger or what have you in that tier some easier to get than others). So the quest versions of tier 2 will be better than what the shops sell. If possible I would like WOA to utilize Exp debt as its death/defeat penalty for those not in HC mode. This is in part to discourage botting as botting in lower lvl areas will not yield much, and doing so in higher lvl areas will probably yield nothing but exp debt. If possible can drop rates also lower or raise depending on the lvl difference between the player and the monster?

how much can you learn from maggots.png

If you're still using Manaserv, those should all be possible already, if not easy to add.

I refined the front attack animation (this will be the last thing I do for this week and part of next, I got some other things that I need to do)

Thanks for letting me know

Looks very promising, I'm glad you started working on WoA again!

Can any experienced mapper take a look at the map WOA_001_1 in the map folder and give me some advice?

There are some collision tiles missing on 125, 154 and around the rest of the cliff near that tile.

Thank you for taking a look and pointing that out .
