I would play. I've wished for a better version of Runescape and the old sandboxy mmo's for a while now.

But seriously, what is this reoccurring pattern? Does EVERY single game that isn't a linear, themepark, hand holding, shallow, complete BORE to play have to be browser based? Or have terrible unplayable graphics? Or have a birds eye view? With a world that loads as you play and scatters small files across your computer which can also be problematic for people who aren't close to the hosted servers (Australian). Graphics have to be compromised, controls, gameplay, loading times, mechanics, delays.

 

Why does every game with these decent concepts also ALWAYS get made by these indie devs with like $100 budget? Will a bigger company ever stand up and actually make a fun game? Good graphics maybe? With a normal third person view, functional/non clunky WASD controls? Why always click to move?

 

Am I missing something here? Are the sandbox mechanics just bound to being like this? What is your problem? Honestly, why not make a game with the same concepts, but a smoother experience? Is doing the above really that hard? Besides good graphics, that's fine, I understand how successful minecraft is despite its graphics.

 

But the rest is compulsory in my opinion, I just can't stand these outdated click to move, bad mechanics any longer, the need to have annoying files scattered around from the browser, the horrible camera angles, etc.

 

Yet still, putting all that aside, I'd be very willing to actually play your game if I could at least download a client with the whole game, no loading everything as you go, just a world, installed exactly where I want it on my computer.

 

I know it'll probably never happen, and I don't usually post any comments or threads on the internet because it goes to no avail amongst the other millions trying to be heard, but what a shame, this game really does look good.

 

Maybe one day.

Initially we'll be launching the game on Eldevin.com but we've certainly not ruled out other options for the future (downloadable client, tablet interface etc.) smile.png

I can run it fine in Australia. No issues with connectivity at all (except when there was server problems worldwide).

I understand where you are coming from. When big corporations take over projects, they care more about the're formulaic procedures which revolve around meeting deadlines and re-creating previous financial successes. Hunted Cow has done an impressive job at meeting deadlines, I will give them that, while not sacrificing whatever makes enjoying a game what it is.

 

I would also like a client, so that I could mess around with optimizing the graphics for my machine. However, I understand that the game has been in development for 8 years or something, and probably has become something entirely different than it was originally intended to be.

 

If you have trouble running the game in your browser, I highly suggest trying other browsers. If you don't like running it in a window, then disable your task bar on top and F11 your browser. That's pretty darn close to a client that way.

 

Any comments on style would be subjective and I can't really comment on much about that. I just hope you play the game a bit more, and perhaps it will win you over in the long run.

 

Oh, I play from the US, and don't really have lag issues, but that might happen if the server gets overloaded at launch.

Same here, I'm in Australia and connectivity isn't really an issue for me. And besides if u dn't like clicking to walk, u can just click once and hold to walk..u dnt hav to keep clicking, it might not be as good as WASD but it's better than nothing.

First time I've made a complaint on a games forum and actually received balanced, thought out replies instead of a plethora of mindless hatred and fanboying towards the game without even reading the post. There's always room for improvement right? Nothing bad about pointing out flaws.

Thanks a lot for replying, I don't mean to bag on your game, I'm just a bit tired of seeing good games come up which I avoid playing because of the above issues.

I also know that your world isn't procedurally generated (random content generated as you go), I just didn't know what word to use, I thought it had two meanings for some reason. Edited accordingly.

 

lol pigheaded you should explore more of the internet,you just described a game that's coming out in like 4-5 months to a "T".

What game do you mean? Care to share? Black Desert? Archeage? None of which are coming out even close to 4-5 months, I'd like to know if I'm missing something though? I think the genre is pretty dry at the moment. PM me the name if you care not to disrespect these forums? Thanks lol.

Wow, are you serious? I think I'll play now, lol. Didn't even bring it up because literally no developer hosts Australian servers, ever. Nice.

You guys need to advertise this fact alot more.  I've already told some friends and they are going to give it ago almost entirely based on the fact you are supporting Aussies.  Great work!
