Eternal Realms / News: Recent posts

We've got a new graphics system, new builder utilities, automatic tiling of bordered tiles, item editors, and a nice start of a mobile editor. There's not much to do in the game yet, but the framework is in, and the combat system is nicely started!

Here's a new release! We've got a more permanent server that comes set up as default for users to log into and poke around at. We also have released our world building tools for the first time! Lots of nice upgrades here. I'm hoping for a new graphics system and a bunch of content coming soon.

Details of this reelase can be found at http://eternalrealms.kortham.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=45 We've got some nice features included here, and feel free to try out our dev server. It's included as the default when you download the game client.

Eternal Realms has been picked up in a refactoring project at http://csci.morris.umn.edu/UMMCSciWiki/bin/view/CSci4605f05/EternalRealmsRefactoring
The changes will be ported into the sourceforge branch when the project is completed.

Something went wrong in the file release for the client. It has been corrected.

Today's new release includes a system of 270 some socials and the ability to load items on the ground and interact with them. All previously reported bugs have been fixed. Welcome to our several new developers!

The first release is now ready to download. Please note that this software is in very early stages. This release has been tested on all three target platforms, and includes the most basic functionality. You can create a new account, log in, chat with other users, and walk around. You can also pick things up, drop things, and forage for mushrooms, but these are still very preliminary. A basic status command and inventory screen is also in.
