Runescape - It's the last game you'll ever play.

New progress with the Intersect interface. Also implemented a loading screen. Courtesy of @Aesthetic

https://www.ruinic.com/about.php New About & Media sections on the website have been implemented. This is a WIP, especially the About page, but please let me know of any issues or suggestions!

I also attend ASU! I'm a senior.

What's the license for these? I like the chatbubble animations

I use the subscriber method in Ruinic's engine. It works well enough.

The new website is up, check it out at https://www.ruinic.com

Today's update is a little different. Recently, the Ruinic team picked up an absolutely fantastic composer who is going to be working on a various musical pieces for the game. He's already started on the first one for the starting town, which I think sounds pretty great. You can listen to a sample of it below.

Here's some scripted dialogue in action!

This hits really close to home. My mother passed away from opiate overdose after her long battle with a terminal illness when I was 15. I appreciate your contribution.

is this about opiate use?

Rain drops, drop tops (drop top) waiting for Intersect source to release non stop (non stop) planning some shit yeah it's hot hot hot cookin up code in the crockpot (pot)

Today's update is an extremely technical, albeit important, one. LUA scripting has been implemented to the Ruinic game server! This is very big, as it will drastically accelerate development time and allow me to begin implementing some of the more interesting game functionality. What you are looking at in the image below are the LUA script definitions for an in-game NPC, the Minotaur. These script files define not only the important data of the NPC (its name, image file, level, etc.) but also the behavior of that NPC. This will allow me to do all sorts of cool things, like defining custom behavior for super tough boss NPCs, or, say, scripting a special shopkeeper NPC for one of the city hubs. Stay tuned for more updates and information early access and testing opportunities!

NPCs are implemented and functional, along with some basic combat. I haven't implemented the player side of this yet, so it's really just about trying to stay the hell away -- haha. Stay tuned for more info, and again, join the Discord to be the first to get updates and access to early testing opportunities! Here's a sneak peek of me getting my ass kicked by a minotaur!

I just want to thank the fantastically awesome @Aesthetic for the logo they made for Ruinic! I've updated the main thread with the new logo + some more information about the game!

Yay! I'm looking forward to seeing it

Hello, everyone! Development of Ruinic is chugging along fairly well, but I'm pretty severely limited in where I can advertise the game right now, as I don't have any branding for the game. I am requesting a logo and possibly matching icons for the game. I can pay for the work if need be, but I'm also willing to bring you on board via credits in the game. You can check out everything here: You may also shoot me a PM for contact details.

I've updated the graphics to something that's a bit more... dimensional. They're the TimeFantasy graphics you can find at http://timefantasy.net/ I'd like to have something custom done soon, but I quite like this style for now. I've also completely overhauled the dungeon generation algorithm to build more vibrant, lively worlds. What you see below is an example of cave generation, but there will be many different times of dungeons to explore, ranging from caverns to castle dungeons to dense jungles. Stay tuned for more updates!

That was a huge improvement anyway IMO

Larger, more interactive dungeons, player killing, and a vision for the future. There's much to discuss for the upcoming world of Ruinic! Read all about it here

Looks fantastic. I really like the art style. I'm going to keep a close eye on this one.

Good additions to the ruleset. I'm sure this will help the community thrive

You do realize that the data is being downloaded by the clients one way or another, right?

seeing that ya'll are too lazy to log on i doubt either of you actually actively play...
