GM8 Features and The Islands

Posted by KaBob799 on June 27, 2009, 10:54 p.m.

I know a lot of people don't visit YYG and might not know about this, so heres a link to the planned features for GM8.

Anyway, that Islands browser game I mentioned a random amount of blogs ago has finally seen some progress. It now loads the map from mysql and assigns numbers to clickable things so I can program actions for them. I also made a mouse-over effect that will completely break it in IE6. Part of my plan to force people to upgrade IE6 to IE8 =p

If you want to see what it looks like so far, you can check out the test map here: http://gameplague.com/sites/islands/index.php?m=1 (site design is just a placeholder)

It's not much yet, most of the work has been behind the scenes.

Also, heres a few plans I typed out earlier today:

Quote:
At the start of the game, you have no boat. You get off the first island by starting a fire which gets a boaters attention. He then takes you to a town island, from there you can charter boats to other islands and eventually you will get your own boat.

Move by clicking squares next to you

customizeable character (no walking/animations makes this easy as pie)

large item inventory with key items section and regular inventory

turn based battles (like the old 64rpg)

Player Owned Islands

If anybody here can do zelda (LTTP/minish cap) type graphics (that angle, and somewhat that style) I really need help with this game, the graphics right now are just placeholders.

If anyone still uses IE6 they deserve to get shot

More people use IE6 than use IE8 <_< (Majority use IE7)

I already have Game Plague telling IE7 people to upgrade, I'm gonna add IE6 soon.

Pretty cool. I could probably do a few graphics for ya if you want.

What you've requested is right down my alley :)

No, KaBob, tell them it's ok to use IE6 while you work on a way to punch people in the face over the internet. Damn IE6 and it's 'standards'.

How about upgrading from IE 1.8 to FF3

anyway, with these features, GM8 should have been GM7.1.

I couldn't resist, h8er.

I just hope they drop the softwrap bullshit so I can actually use a new version.
