[b]Currently Working On:[/b] CLEANING UP AND OPTIMIZING CODE [b]Next Planned Update: [/b] Clickable inventory items

A Little Bit About Me.
I am currently a sophomore in a university majoring in computer engineering and minoring in computer science and mathematics.
I have been coding for around 5 years now with knowledge in HTML, CSS, Javascript, Java and C.

What is StoneLand?
StoneLand is a 2 dimensional single-player role-playing game. (Written in Java).
You will be able to customize your player, level them up, fight monsters, explore, quest, and much more!
Eventually I have plans to make this multi-player, however, I would like to add all of the features of the game (IE: basic skills) before a multiplayer variant is released to the public.
*StoneLand is not open-sourced, however that may change at any given time.

When Can I Start Playing Single Player?
Users will be able to download the game once I release the first beta version. The first version will be very basic (probably just allow a user to move).
Every single update that I commit to this game will be available though through the link at the top of this post.

Is There a Website?
Currently, no, there is not a website. However I am currently working on a rough sketch of a website which will be used for download links, update news, etc.
All the information on the website however will be on the Moparscape forums as well. So if you’d like to stay up-to-date all you have to do is stay on this thread.

What has been done:

[01 February 2016] Added a Dummy Skills Tab, to test out how easy it is to add interfaces. [VERSION 16]
[31 January 2016] Finished the Inventory, there is a wooden sword in the bag [VERSION 15]

What are you confused about? It’s basically a Game Development post about a 2D RPG.

#3

Please wait until you actually have something to show for before posting your game ideas.

#4

This is a game development section of the forums. I am showing the development phase, is that not what this section is used for?

#5

Or watch as people jab holes into it because it fits too close to another game.

#6

Regardless I’m doing this for fun, I’m gonna keep doing what I’m doing. Hence why I might make it open source.

do it in html5

#13

Looks good man, keep up the work.

#14

Looks like a good start to me. Keep it up :slight_smile:

#15

Thanks guys, keeping the momentum. Currently working on NPC’s and their movement. Then I plan on working on an Interface class, which will be used for inventory, among other things. Also after that I will read through my code and see if there is anything that I can clean up or make faster. (Although I’ve taken much care in the current code).

Just an update :slight_smile:

By the way, the goal for everything to be done is middle of June, because I will be busy with my studies. So I’m sure updates will slow down but they will not stop!!

Which university are you studying at?

#17

UCONN!

[quote=“Pwnd, post:8, topic:554568”]That FPS is pretty leet. What gfx r u using m8[/quote]what he doesnt show is that your character moves in direct correlation to your FPS. on my 1993 laptop my character moves slow, but on my SLI titan x’s if i press left arrow for a millisecond my character zooms onto my other monitor.

#19

hmm does it? I could’ve sworn I set it to the updates per second… I’ll check that out! Thanks David!

Edit: Yeah, I don’t know what that’s happening for you as the character moves with the Updates per second which is capped at 60.
i’ll check on faster hardware to double check in a bit…

#20

I found a minor bug in which if you walk to the bottom left corner you can walk a little bit out of the map through the water :stuck_out_tongue:
