The Legend of the Phoenix (Single Player MUD RPG)

[SneakyLeif1020]

VERSION 0.8.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Current News:
     Hey guys! New update with some pretty epic new features!
Here's your list:

     Some bugfixes:
-YES!!!!! I FINALLY FIXED THE REPEATING BATTLE BUG!
-Some minor movement bugs and other things related to the new
 controls.

     New features:
-Changed the controls! Move:WASD Action:E Save:X Stats:C
 Achievements:V
-Added an Achievements feature! Press V to get to it. Collect
 Achievements to compare with your friends. You can also earn
 Achievements Points that can be spent in special shops.

     Things that I KNOW I will be making.
-Currently working on a Quest Log, for when the game goes
 into "sandbox" mode in Chapter 2.
-Hoping to make a class feature soon, shouldn't be too hard.
-Hoping to make an Equip feature, so it doesn't just replace
 what you currently have equipped.

     Well, there you go. I wanted to release this (yes,
without more of the Chapter 1 demo, sorry.) so you guys will
know that I'm still working on this project (and pretty hard,
too!) even though I haven't posted an update in a few days.
     My guess is that the Achievements will be completely
finished and the Quest Log will be finished/close to done by
update 0.9.0. (Release 1.0 will be when Chapter 1 is
finished, so keep that in mind. This may go into 0.15.0-ish
before 1.0.)

Previous News:
     New minor update has rolled around! Bug and script
change list:

     -Touched up the load menu with a few bugfixes.
     -Fixed the unfixable.A pesky bug that closes the game
      if you type anything that the menu doesn't understand.
      (No more random shutdowns!!)
     -Changed the battle script a little. Nothing too
      noticable.
     -Changed experience and max hp inflation.
     -Added Game Over. (oops, forgot that before..)
     -Fixed a fricken annoying (I mean that in two ways) bug
      that gave you a chance to get into a battle after
      entering "stats" or "save" (SO HARD TO FIX).

     This is (of course) a minor update, made to disclose
some of the recent bug finds & fixes, but I also have to tell
everyone that there's a horrible (not that bad) bug that I'm
working on fixing now. This bug makes it possible to get into
4 even 5 battles in a row. The only reason it stops after a
while is because there's still a 1 in 4 chance system it goes
through. Meh. Wish me luck.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Known Bugs:
     -[FIXED]Whenever you type something that the console doesn't understand, the program closes (I'd like help with this one).
     -[FIXED] Has problems saving.
     -[FIXED] Every time you load your game, your name gets a space added after it.
     -The multi-save feature is kind of buggy, but easily fixable.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information:
Yeah, I know that not many people are into MUD RPG's, and I'm really not much of a fan, but I'm trying my hand a scripting, and it's going along quite well! I decided to post this on a forum so I could get some people to test certain features and give me feedback. I'm coding this all in Notepad with batch scripting on Windows 7. I'll leave an attachment of what I have so far.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a list of the features that I have completed:
     -A good-looking Main Menu (With a load-friendly look)!
     -Save/Load Features. (Actually, autosave!)
     -All of the Chapter 0 storyline.
     -A text based map that shows up in Movement Mode.
     -Can now gain and lose currency! (Players start with 100g)
     -A shop system.
     -More than one save file.
     -Stat system.

A list of partially finished features:
     -A playable storyline.
     -Chapter 1 storyline.

A list of features I would like to see in the next few weeks:
     -An inventory (with money).
     -A class system that allows you to choose a class, which perminently affects your stats.

A list of features that I would like to use with the game, but will probably be too hard to script in notepad:
     -An economy system, that has working inflation and deflation
     -An interchangable class system that allows you to change classes when in the right area.
     -A multiplayer feature. Either online or local (This would be extremely hard. You would need to host a server).

I know that most of these ideas are probably not possible in notepad, but I'm hoping to try to get peoples help with this project!
Rock on everyone!!

You have a download?
If you don't got one, you should ask for a move to Misc.

Anyways, sounds very interesting.
I'll definitely give it a shot.

ed: Sorry, didn't see it!

Lol.. Thanks for the quick reply! And I just added a download. So far, it's just a few features that I got done in a few hours. No playable game yet, I may need a little help with that. If you would text it and make sure all the features work fine? (Load won't work right)

[SneakyLeif1020]

This really shouldn't be under "Completed games and demos", so I'll move it to another board, but just let me know when you got a nice playable thing and I'll throw it back here.

Either way, seems like an interesting concept. I'll keep an eye out for it's development.

Thank you! I wasn't sure where to put this, but once I get some more help with batch coding I'll ask to place it back in Completed Games and Demos.

What is a MUD RPG? Like, a purely text based one?

[fruckert]

Yup!

[Meiscool]

Oh. I think the only one of those I ever played was the one on the computer in Fallout New Vegas.

Could be fun I suppose

I would love to see this implemented.
