Awesome :]

He kind of reminds me of the Heavy from TF2.

That's what came to my mind, too.

:o I am also working on a game too! though your game looks far more interesting/awesome haha.

hope it all goes well! *downloads the test build to play*

I sense a great game coming. XD

awesome :)

Impressive, sir. Both the animation and the demo. Now if only the character could be undressed like that in the demo. :P

Really impressive and awesome =D

wow really nice :3

Sounds like a good game is on the way! I'll be checking the 0.01 build and see how it goes...

AGAIN? I'm getting some error about XNA HiDef and having Acceleration set to Full. Last one is set already, but I don't understand the deal with the XNA thing. I had the same error trying to run Call of the Underworld.

Can somebeody help me? That's TWO games I am losing already!

I am having the same issue. Same error message and everything. The only thing I've seen after a bit of googling is that maybe your drivers are out of date? Otherwise, I have no clue what's going on either.

If you get it to work, please let me know how! With Call of the Underworld, apparently it installed the XNA it needed, but it still gave me that message, and I even tried to download and install it again a year later!

At the very least I don't want to miss out in Cap G's game, I love this genre!

Um, maybe I should have said this sooner, but I Googled for that XNA HiDef thing and ended up with something that requires Windows 7

Windows XP Home with SP3

AMD Athlion 2650e

NVIDIA GeForce 6150E Integrated

1GB DDR2 Memoery

Will this, or that Call of the Underworld, work on my comp, or am I hopelessly doomed?

Does that mean pans dead for now?

Please check the "Status of Pan" link at the top of my profile.

Ok thanks hope I dint bug you

Not gonna lie, I saw that there was an update and was hoping for word on Pan, but this looks like the framework for a fun game as well. Do you have any specifics for what you envision in the final product?

I tried to explain that in the video. Do you have specific questions?

After I posted, I went and found the video. It cleared it up pretty well.

I sat here for about... an hour, waiting for this to download. (My connection speed is incredibly sucky) And I got all giddy when it finished.
Then I opened it and uh... I had to wait for something else to dowload. It kept on stopping after a few minutes, about 30 each time. So... I went out of my house at 3.30 am, climbed to the top of a hill where my connection was, thankfully, a lot better. And got it fully downloaded.

But it was worth it. I like the animation for it. Though I think my laptop is incapable of running it as everything runs quite slow. I even had to press onto a key REALLY hard to type on my name. But I like the customisation. I've never had a cartoon profile done before, so it was fun to create your own likeness in it.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes, and I hope by then I have a computer that runs it better. Keep it going GerBear. I don't know how many people will actually say this, but you're doing a real good thing :)

Urgh... I'm over tired.

Thank you kindly. It's good to hear people like it and not just complaints about how it isn't something else.

The character generator is pretty nice and I like the way the tress flow/rustle. Not really anything else there yet though :P

Looks like you've got support to play with a 360 controller? Neat.

Is Pan on the backburner now?

Check the "Status of Pan" on my main page. Pan's been backburner for a long time, and will continue to be until I have enough income from other projects, like this one, to support it.

How very interesting. I'll be following this for sure, Gerbear.

Intriguing. I am certainly interested in how this will pan out. I certainly do agree on your point about Minecraft and Terraria missing an expandable goal set by the game, I guess I'm not the creative type.

I can tell you're very passionate about this project, and you'll definitely be getting my support shortly (this evening).

As a side note, do you have a composer for the music yet? PM me.

I didn't know you were a composer. Got a link to a demo or something?

I PM'd you a link with some tracks.

Can I ask for a tutorial for the technique you used for coloring the sprite? I am interested in the "lineless" way of coloring and you seem to had it nailed.

I'm really not sure I understand what there is to explain. Can you be a bit more specific?

Sure do. There is a certain way of coloring like in "Samurai Jack" (sorry that is the only example I have in mind at the moment) where the drawings do not use the usual black line...but just color. This sprite animation even though is not 100% color is kinda close what i'm interested. What I am asking is a tutorial in the coloring of the above sprite, or at least pointers about the way is colored. Specific enough? Yes/No/Retry?

Well it's done in Flash, which treats "Lines" and "Fills" as two separate beasts. It's still drawn with a line, but then after it's been colored, the line is removed.

Wow, pretty good early proof of concept. The world generator at least seems to be working well and character generator is pretty fleshed out. I did manage to get myself 'stuck' in a particular part of the map while playing around yesterday. I had warped myself into a mountain range while using the world map, which was surrounded by impassable cliffs, then when I went into local view to see if there was anything to see, I could never leave because I could never reach a normal 'passable' tile and was forever stuck exploring the vast, snowy waste of whatever peak I was on. Just something to look out for in future builds I guess.

I am looking forward to seeing more of this. It's the type of game I enjoy playing but you never see anymore.

The ability to warp via the world map is a temporary debug feature, so hopefully it won't be too much of an issue later on.

Well, the other something else was quite popular, I won't deny that. But to be honest, I just look forward to anything you get done. Been enjoying all your flash games and animations for quite a while now. You make games feel like games. Not just a "click here, yay, you win" type of thing.

So, I'm just happy to see what you do, hurr.

Someday, I hope I could get as handy with flash as you are.

Bah, messed up reply.

Awesome sauce dude!

Oh snap!

Does anyone know the specs required to play this normally? Its really slow on my laptop and im not sure why.

As a fan of sandbox games like Minecraft and Terraria as well, this looks quite promising! :) Though I have to admit, having played Civ V recently, I'm becoming enamored with hex tiles.

If theirs one, this game would be my life.

And if the project is adequately funded, there will be Multiplayer.

Love the game, its amazing. The game is a bit hard at registering Keystrokes, but other then that great game. Any fun tidbits you want to release on what the finalized version will be like and how updates will be?

I explain all that in the video.

oooh very cool:D

awesome
and makes me moist

Agh, I can't play this...the installer tells me something about my graphics, it can't be installed. Dammit

Holy jeez, every time I think you couldn't possibly get any more impressive, you go and find a way to prove me wrong. This project looks absolutely amazing. Incredibly ambitious, but I have a feeling if anyone can eventually pull it off, it'll be you. I would love to get in on the development-testing, so I guess I better start saving my pennies... :9 Whether I can manage that level or not, best of luck on the whole thing.

:D
