MazeRunner / News: Recent posts

After much coding and effort, we are proud to announce the first public alpha release of the MazeRunner (MMO)RPG!

(Note: This is not an official release, but you can now get it from CVS, branch mazerunner_rpg)

It currently features:
Both a client and server (all code belonging to this project).
The client and server have a unique communication method: The server is actually based on a very simple chat server, thus, the client manages and responds to most of the actions. Why do this when users can hack their client? I don't have any problem with that as it's perfectly easy for them to run their own servers.

We are proud to announce the release of the new wiki! After taking forever to find a decent one and then getting it working (SF's server farm made things difficult, so we are hosting it ourselves) but we are finally able to publicly release it.
Please consider posting an article or just commenting on it at http://mazerunner.rootservers.org/bitweaver/

Sorry about the problems in earlier releases we had overlooked. Nw the users.txt file is created in pure Java so there should be no worries about not being able to login/register. If you do, PLEASE post in the forums (http://mazerunner.rootservers.org/mrforum/) or report the bug in the tracker.

A few other bugs were fixed although none were quite as significant as this one...

After a few hours of configuration and customization, we are proud to announce the release of the forum.

With the release of MazeRunner 0.59, we are happy to announce, among other things, updated graphics and new music.

The new graphics, being 3D, help make everything more fun.

As well as that, there is a hidden feature that everyone who finds it will consider useful. And the first person to find it may even get a reward of some sort.

In the development area, a new collision system is in development that should make map creation easier and, not only does it save CPU cycles, it also makes everything more efficient and provides seamless wall checking. Apart from that, the scripting system, music system, and several new things are coming along nicely!... read more

*Maps system
*Music
*In-game comment submission

*Enemys
*Other features not really worth mentioning.
