... "And so it happened. After over 200 messages, the OtherWorld- group has been formed (but not organized
![](wink.gif)
, and joy is to come for all the RPG fans. The story is about to begin"...
OtherWorld was formed about couple of weeks ago, and this team is creating network based MUD- stylish graphical RPG game, that is open source project and 100% free for everyone. Project has been going on actually REALLY fast, and it is unbelieveble that Novalis has already made, both, Client and Server of the game WITH INTERNET SUPPORT (Is it really ready ?).
Lately, we have been discussing about the new / recycled ideas that this game would contain, and we have pretty nice list... for example, there is war going on between lightness and darkness, and this involves players differently than normal MUDs. Players can create REAL history that will be written, and powerful characters can involve how the whole system works (meaning, they can even assign armies... just an nice idea).
Now, I would like to hear anykind of features that you would like to see in RPG''s.
Technical information: Game runs "realtime", when it still is turnbased with refresh rate of 12/sec OR SO. Game is tilebased, but it is more accurate than MUDs (that usually involve large areas at one time), and so the player can see the area as he would see it, not with scaling at outwoods.
Original idea was to connect "unlimited worlds" between each other, and this idea has been changing for putting portals that actually teleport players between main areas on this world, or send them to another dimension. Game "playground" is unlimited, because it is generated with servers randomizer, and every object (wall, sword, player, orc) is actually just stored on server, and every modified ground area is also stored on server. This means that if player builds own altar in middle of woods, the information of this tile is saved on the server, and so the actual original playground doesn''t take any space, but the modified areas and/or objects only take some space.
Client will be open source (probably), and so everyone should be able to create their own clients, or just modify the old one.
So... new weird/extreme/cool ideas for RPG''s
