World of Rot

[loktar]

Hey guys im working on a zombie themed 2D MMORPG will have screenshots within the week. Heres the site for the game (not much yet just an intro image) www.worldofrot.com Im really excited about this project its coming together really nicely.

[LoSTBoY]

Cool! Is this going to be like Urban Dead? What are you using to write the game? is it HTML or perhaps a Java applet? I'm at a loose end just now so I might be able tyo help you out.

im actually using Visual Basic. It was going to be browser based using PHP, but I decided to go a different route. It will be nothing like Urband dead, it will be more like Goldensun/Zelda multiplayer in a modern post apocalyptic world Almost to the point of posting some nice screenshots.

Ok pre pre alpha release http://www.undeadgames.com/WoR/Client.zip Keys are arrows move Shift=run control = attack enter = pickup Also you have to run LibraryFiles.exe inside of the registery directory that came with the game they are the Runtime files needed by Visual Basic to run the game. Otherwise you will receive errors Yes there are bugs but hey its still pretty fun. The worst bug is the one that wont let you log in, only happens once in a while so far though. Enjoy oh yeah that guy in the trentcoat will trade with you 5 wife beaters for a 9mm.

I spawned and was surrounded by zombies IMMEDIATLY and it would let me move out. My character would move out like 1 block and then be "pulled" back into the mass of zombies. Argh!!!! I'll try again tomorrow. Glad to see this is coming along so fast, though!!!

this looks much better then urban dead, also i sucked at urban

[MikePizzoff]

Argh! Every time I play, I get surrounded by zombies almost immediatly. You should make them slower (instead of the same speed as the characters) and less numbered.

oh yeah that guy in the trentcoat will trade with you 5 wife beaters for a 9mm. That not something you hear everyday yea urban dead is a heaping pile of crap. It looks pretty good, keep up the good work. ill give it a whirl after my neo geo emulation binge

i might give this a go, urban dead is a pile of wank. oh and how did you make the areas itself?, it looks kinda like the rpg maker 2003.

i might give this a go, urban dead is a pile of wank. oh and how did you make the areas itself?, it looks kinda like the rpg maker 2003. Visual Basic 6. Does RPG maker suppory multiplayer? I may have to rewrite the multiplayer code on this because with alot of zombies and players it seems to lag. The tiles right now were pulled from Duke Nukem 3d (which is open source now ) Hoping to get some more done on the project tonight. Going to add a living town, and some better looking zombies.... oh and of course more weapons
