Networked Constructive Action RPG

Icon 7 Comments
I haven't posted one of these in a while, but I have been working on some small side project. It's a networked constructive action RPG which is easier to understand if you think top-down classic action RPG that falls between Minecraft and Terraria. There will be much more an emphasis on gameplay, though unlike Terraria, I'm more than likely to add all those fun logic gates and objects for those who are into that kind of thing in Minecraft.

The game is currently live on my test server, but all you can do is create characters and talk. There are emotes, and it's possible to kill players if you have the test sword (which a moderator has to give you).

It doesn't have a title screen or even a menu background (look at all the blue~) yet, it just brings you to the connection menu. The game is already available as Alpha, so don't be surprised if the client crashes.. A lot. The server seems to cope surprisingly well and is still running. It's all included in a server/client kit you can use though it's built for Win32. There's some odd things I would have to do to the socket code and graphics for it to run on Linux, but most of the code is already written expecting a Linux build.

The download is almost always going to be this link: https://subversion.a...no/snkemono.zip

Everything is licensed under the LGPL and the (very messy) source code can be checked out using this Subversion repository: https://subversion.a...m/svn/snkemono/

This includes the graphics and design notes I wrote down for things I haven't yet implemented yet.

This screen is almost (if not) done, I just need to fix a few bugs. There are no classes, the way your character handles is determined by these handful of little attributes and features you select. Right now, I think the only change I'll make in the future is add more hair. An account is automatically created per character, and although I salt and hash the passwords- they still aren't that cryptographically sound so make a new password you don't use for anything else (but a strong one nonetheless!).

The map is just endless tiles, the actual game will have a finite world like Terraria so you can't walk forever. If you're curious, you can bring a friend and log in here to try the live development test server:

HOST: 64.31.22.72
PORT: 35000

You did this yourself? Awesome.

Can I have the sword to whack people with? :)

When I finally implement blocks and the Pick Axe, I'll have player-player hits turned off so you wouldn't be able to whack them anymore.

The following permissions for anything that is my original creation are given. Anything known as an 'object' or 'my works' in this notice refers to anything that I have created and therefore have intellectual ownership of, but nothing that is not my original creation even if permission is given to me to post it to this blog. Any computer programs I have written (especially video games) belong under my intellectual ownership.

Program code, algorithms, protocols, or any other computer source code is licensed under the GPL. See bottom of notice.

Ownership
Some 'objects' do not require you to give credit to me, however, in no circumstances do you have permission to claim any of 'my works' for your own. Only the specific rights granted in each case will apply. Any rights granted can only be applied you, and anyone else who adheres to this notice.

Credit
When giving me credit, please cite your source using a link back to the original material. If my work is used in a computer program, place this information in your readme file.

Images
Images of 'my works' such as screen shots, graphics, or any sort of 2-dimensional image (still or moving) can be used as long as you do not gain any profit. This includes direct and indirect profit, such as access fees to resources such as a download fee. You may not, however, use the images if you do not give me credit. If you are granted use of such images, their use is not limited, even in things such as broadcasts and own computer programs, but remember it is important that you give me credit for using them.

Redistribution
Content posted in this log in the form of computer programs that I release can be freely redistributed and re-transmitted in any form as long as the content is unmodified in any way, and you do not claim any ownership of the content. You may not modify the content to inject malicious programming code or your own data, doing so will be a violation of this notice, but you may make additions and modifications using any source code I provide that are not malicious as long as it is clear which parts of the computer program were originally created by myself and which parts of the program are modified and added. Content that is redistributed must be freely available without any charge. If there are any contradictions with this paragraph statement and the Gnu General Public Licence, the GPL has priority and will apply instead of the conflicting statement in this paragraph.

You may post any of my tutorials on your website (this means a copy of the original material) as long as you include a link to the original tutorial on Dream.In.Code and you give credit to me as the author. Giving credit to a "WolfCoder" is sufficient as the link back to Dream.In.Code is also sufficient. Both the link and credit are required and important. If the link to Dream.In.Code and credit to me as the author are given, you may also include the copy of the tutorial in any other form as long as no profit, directly or indirectly (such as download fees, registration fees, or similar methods of profit) are gained. However, either me or Dream.In.Code reserves the right to deny this permission of tutorial redistribution for any reason.

Warranty
Use any of my original works at your own risk. Both myself and Dream.In.Code are not liable for any damages resulting from your use of my computer programs, even from the use of heavily-tested programs.
