Forum :: Programming :: Kalandra II (Edited, check my last post)

This is extremely exciting! What Language will KalandraII be programmed in? I do hope you release the source to it so we can learn from it and make modifications/ammendments. I'd love to see Client sided image color manipulations. I'll need to paint a picture to describe what I mean by this. Just say you pixelled a boot with its RGB values all the same (Albeit Grayscale), the client scans the image at load and modifies any pixel of the RGB to that of another color of the same shade. So this pretty much creates boots of user defined colors like the Demon Imps in diabloII where the cloths the Imps have are all different colors but same texture. I hope I make sense here. :)

wow. God we need a new mmorpg for all the people from endless

That seems like a good idea hotdog. I am pretty sure it is possible with allegro5 though. I believe you can just use their blender and set the RGB value and it should work very well. I am not 100% sure because I have not messed with it. There's probably options in OpenGL for it as well.

Quick update.

I've got a pretty basic tile engine written for OpenGL. Here are some early day features.

Multiple layer 2D smooth scrolling tile engine with per-pixel z-buffering.

Alpha channel transparency (PNG files are used for assets).

FBO rendered for final post processing effects.

Vertex and Fragment shaders for effects.

I've decided that once things get to a reasonable stage it will be released as open source under a creative commons license.

OK, So the new client is now complete enough to connect to old KII server. Before I go any further on the actual game engine I'll work on making everything about the clients UI configurable so you can have custom UI looks for your individual games.

Oh okay, and sorry ^^.

I hope the game will be done soon
Btw, have you figured if it will be a 2d or 3d or anything yet?

This topic.
I used the forgot password function so I could bloody login and respond.

Keep it simplistic, don't think large numbers but think 1 minute hero; like fast action but steady growth. In the sense, you can be a temporary player and have fun, or a long term player.

Keep the graphics fresh. Listen to what people want but don't get too messy with the features!

Web developer, currently looking for graphic artists / designers.

Just stress tested the new OpenGL version. 1k players on a single 32x32 map -

(as reported by the task manager on an core i5)
Server: 0% cpu usage
Client: 0% cpu usage
2530 fps (Intel(R) HD Graphics)
7920 fps (NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M)

EDIT: I should note - The FPS is a pretty useless value. You'll only see 60fps on a 60Hz monitor. The is actual "Renders per second" which will be limited with vsync and timing on release to reduce CPU usage.
