That's why I don't take pets. You give them all and then bam! One morning you wake up with a knife stabbed on your back.

Paillan · Mar 22, 2015

No I meant that the code you wrote is too superior for my weak brain.

Bernkastel · Mar 22, 2015

I honestly liked the VN, not sure if I would prefer sprites at all, the portrait is quite fancy in the end. Sure a full picture of the characters could be used in the thread which has info about the characters but only there. I like the portraits, and you can put cool stuff in the background, like picture of events, like X facing Y in a fierce battle and have talk in there and awesome text and sounds like FWOOSH! FWIISH! Fapfapfap! SKFJFATAM!

Imadori · Mar 22, 2015

Oh. Well no worries, I decided to do all coding stuffs from the very beginning. No one would have to learn vJass out of it but me.

I just need to make it more user friendly then I'll teach everyone how to use.

Thanks Bern. Picture of events? You mean like CG? There's a camera shake too, maybe we could, like apply a mini camshake when someone slash/hits a character.

Paillan · Mar 22, 2015

wait... is that cum on the girls face?

Bernkastel · Mar 22, 2015

I'm quite sure that it is indeed, my friend.

And as in events I mean like having stuff in the background for example the execution of Cupid, like adding the sound of the axe slicing his head off or whatever killed him I haven't read. And then having a black screen with a bloodsplash with a BROPaskglasgkasjf sound, and then the background image would change to a one with the head lying on the ground.

kari0003 · Mar 22, 2015

That would look quite awesome

Imadori · Mar 23, 2015

"Awesome"? I thought you would be against it, violence I mean.

Oh and... that's milk... the artist said so... no, I think he said white chocolate.

Bernkastel · Mar 23, 2015

Ahh.. Should've known.

Imadori · Mar 23, 2015

So, any plans for the next RP event?

kari0003 · Mar 23, 2015

I scratched my head for a month now on what should we do on Easter, dont want to reveal anything yet. (=not sure yet) But i will make some advertising this month for sure.

Paillan · Mar 23, 2015

Yeah... right... milk white chocolate...
Also I support violence with all my violence.
Holly (holy) moly! It is actaully already april. Time flies on the university.

Imadori · Mar 23, 2015

Violence yay!
Mmm... I asked him again, he said he drew it as white chocolate, really. Nothing we can do now.

Kari, have you tested the VN yet?

kari0003 · Mar 24, 2015

Yeah, i checked it and i really liked it

If we start creating content, this will be really good.
Is there any way to import the texts from an outer file too? I mean if we could make it work, everyone could put their scripts or scenes in the VN/scenes/idk folder, and they could be played automatically. In this way everyone could contribute to the project without editing the VN.w3x. Which could take a lot of work from your shoulders.

Paillan · Mar 25, 2015

Real randomness https://www.random.org/

kari0003 · Mar 25, 2015

You just had to post some random stuff, didn't you!

Bernkastel · Mar 26, 2015

At least he put something. I really want to see this place at least fairly active.

kari0003 · Mar 26, 2015

To make this month working, we should really need those basic description of Races, and the Map ready. At the moment I'm accepting for GSoC, and University starts to get on my neck again, so i could really use some help with these.

If you feel like contributing, you could create some of these Descriptions. I'am creating an editable Google Doc for this, over the last month I have become to realize the power of that tool.

Bernkastel · Mar 26, 2015

The map is mine. Prepare for oblivion.

kari0003 · Mar 26, 2015

Sounds great! Can you make it so the Easter Arena is flooded (the wall of elves was broken down, and it was in the flood-basin) and only Mt. Millenium stands out of it?

Bernkastel · Mar 26, 2015

Affirmative.

Any other things I should take note of?

Imadori · Mar 27, 2015

Yeah I'm currently researching that, how to read .txt files using local files. It's now becoming a real pain actually. Damn Blizzard.

Bern, what do you call the activity with a VN? "Play" or "read"?

Bernkastel · Mar 27, 2015

That's actually a good question. Both of the words serve the purpose. I really don't know which word is better.

Calling it reading would probably be less misleading for newbies.

Imadori · Mar 27, 2015

So you call it "play". I'll call it playing too from now on.

Bernkastel · Mar 27, 2015

Very well.

Paillan · Mar 27, 2015

How could you NOT put demons as a race? Kyrkow will come and kill ya!

Paillan · Mar 27, 2015

BTW how should we call the human kingdom? it's time to give a name to it even if it doesn't exists anymore. And does the unamed elven town on the mountains still exist? still needs a name.

I say we call it Midas Kingdom
And how about... Nethael?

Bernkastel · Mar 27, 2015

I don't want to hear a thing about Trol's troll-elves.

kari0003 · Mar 27, 2015

Paillan meant the Mountain City somewhere at Birthwing hill. It is still standing as far as i know. Don't know what happened to it through the years, It might have been corrupted by Mania. Who knows

I don't want to delete trolman's town from the "Lore" which is quite easy to change at the moment. If it need to be there, someone will bring it up eventually. If not, it will disappear.

Google Summer of Code proposal = Submitted \o/

Bernkastel · Mar 27, 2015

Ah, that one. I guess it's doing fine. Propably as a home of people that are tired of living or the nest of fanatics.

Nice, Kari! That's cool.

Paillan · Mar 28, 2015

GG Ryan's house... you where a nice base an all that.
GG camp thumper, and thanks for all the eggs.
GG bunny army base, which was never used actually. (cept imadori)
GG tomb ruins and Kyrkow </3

So now all that water felt, don't you think much places north of Lutien that used to be underwater should show up? Maybe loch Kael dried?

Sky Green · Mar 28, 2015

I awoke from my hibernation, what'd I miss?

Bernkastel · Mar 28, 2015

What did you miss? You missed the total annihilation of this place. Unfortunately.

Sky Green · Mar 28, 2015

Oh gosh diddly-darnit! How did that happen?

Bernkastel · Mar 28, 2015

Simple. Not having enough activity brought this place to ruin. But we are still trying to fight.

kari0003 · Mar 28, 2015

It's not about what you missed, its about what you are going to

April is gonna be a great month for you, if you like shiny golden objects!

Paillan · Mar 28, 2015

Oculus rift Kaelicious game

Imadori · Mar 28, 2015

Right. A shining oculus rift Kaelicious game... made of gold.

Paillan · Mar 28, 2015

So we can get to actually see those objects, even if they are virtual :V

Imadori · Mar 29, 2015

Hey, I have a question.
Fantasy speaking, if you betray an ally, your leader maybe, but you considered him as an enemy from the very beginning. Can you still call it 'betrayal'? I mean you planned the whole "betraying" part.

Paillan · Mar 30, 2015

I don't think so.

Bernkastel · Mar 30, 2015

The one you "betray" consideres it a betrayal, but for you it's simply a part of a plan.

Imadori · Mar 30, 2015

So it's all a matter of perspective.
I'm writing a scene for the demo. I guess I can't use it then.

Bernkastel · Mar 30, 2015

But of course you can view it as a betrayal when you think about it. It's a planned betrayal after all.

kari0003 · Mar 31, 2015

Added description of races, please check if they are nice enough.

April is near, and I am eager to announce the new monthly event!
The epic Easter Egg Hunt, on the steeps of Millenium. Join the hunt, and be the one who brings the most eggs home.

Of course, as always the winning member, or members of the monthly event will also receive nice reputation points for their effort. (Or not, if they don't want to.)

I will open the new roleplay thread, but you will have to wait some for the first post. Until then you can make an introduction post, of your character in that thread, to help newcomers.

The area of the month is Mount Millenium, which has changed in the last 15 years, as the pouring see covered the whole Easter Arena under water. Check out the description:

Barren steeps. Rocky valleys. Haunting heights. This is what Mount’ Millenium is known about. A giant mountain island that rules the newborn bay. There are a couple of mountains surrounding Millenium, but they are mere hills compared to the main mountain. The sight is beautiful, but it is not the reason people travel to Mount Millenium. Finest explorers couldn’t map the whole underground cave system, some of them were lost in the process. The ones who return however, return with great treasure, and a hell of a story to tell. Caves, shafts, underground domes punch holes in Millenium. Some say that there used to be an experimenting facility inside the mountains, and some of it’s wretched creatures still lurk in the shadows. Some tell that the Chapel on the peak of the mountain is haunted, and some tell that there is no chapel at all. One thing is for sure though: the gold, and mysterious artifacts they bring home from the journeys.

Paillan · Mar 31, 2015

voodoo Kari, voodoo...
And greppet? where are greppets?

kari0003 · Mar 31, 2015

They are dead :'(
Or are they?

Paillan · Mar 31, 2015

I am sure gyro is still alive.

Paillan · Mar 31, 2015

So the terrain contest starts on 10. Tsk Tsk...

Amargaard · Mar 31, 2015

Gyro is dead. He was old already 15 years ago

Grepetts were slaves to the Pandas mostly - and Pandas have isolated themselves within their grim forest castles for as long as this RP has been going on. Who knows?
