Yes, it is here, Dwarfed! 





Right now, it is being created by Head. He says no hype, that means, no expectations.

I am Head's Community Manager.

So....discuss Dwarfed here, please.

Here are some instructions, provided by Rift, on how to actually get to the game itself.(these are likely outdated)

Step 1.) Download Byond: http://www.byond.com/ &install
Step 2.) file>openlocation or addbookmark or throw into your browser addressbar "byond://81.230.95.29:1339"
Step 3.) play [provided the server is up] and then you are a dwarf.

Also here is the dwarfed wiki/forum.

http://dwarfed.co.cc/


Poll 1:

What do YOU want implemented in Dwarfed the most?


Magma Baby!
 19 (28.4%)
Elephant Sieges
 8 (11.9%)
Atleast 3 Z-lvs with deadly secrets hidden within
 17 (25.4%)
Nothing, I dont want to put any pressure on Headswe
 8 (11.9%)
Elves(To be jailed and tortured, obviously)
 15 (22.4%)

Poll 2:

Head: Now put a poll about worksshops yay or nay

yay
 56 (93.3%)
nay
 4 (6.7%)

Poll 3:

World Size?

A very large world
 16 (24.6%)
A reletively small world, perhaps the size of Cowed.
 3 (4.6%)
A changing world where new areas are added as old areas are exploited and populated.
 46 (70.8%)

Poll 4: So, what general idea should be focused on next?

Ban Hammer(Admin Systems)
 14 (20%)
Throwing elves in magma(Developing liquid movement and damage)
 17 (24.3%)
Creating -cow tail bone encrusted chair-(Increasing the possible complexity of crafts)
 4 (5.7%)
Harvesting Plump Helmets(Have a farming system created, and possible animal husbandry)
 35 (50%)

FYI

1. "This game sucks, it doesnt even have magma. 0/5" This game is in alpha. Meaning, many features are not in place. This game came out May 22nd. =/

2. "Lets all work together, lets show, that we are, ect.". Stop griefing eachother for the "lulz" and such. You wonder why they dont have open alpha tests often. If you do it a lot, I may just write your name down and ban you when an admin system comes around.

3."Flamer Mcflamer stops being productive, distracted by flaming". Stop flaming on my thread, seriously. Be polite and curtious. Stop holding grudges.

4. "I think the combat system is dumb....this game is dumb". Finely, constructive critisism is nice. Be "positive" about it, and offer a suggestion.

Suggestions(Please tell me when they are obsolete or already put in. If you would like your own suggestion put here, please tell me to put it in the first post when suggesting your idea. Also, keep it short and sweet)

Nobody wants suggestions here. D:

This game already exists. It's called Dungeon Master.

Check out that thread for all the details, but basically..

Googol suggested creating an alternative Cowed, not sure exactly why, I think it's because Data didn't release Open Cowed..
And a bunch of people showed some interest.

And so, it was made!

There is an alternative...

Create an entirely new source and set of icons, put it on a new hub, and only take the concept and overall structure of the game from cowed. After having a copy of it, then start adding more features and *improving* it past them. However, it would take a huge ammount of effort...

Summarises it well.

I think you got the wrong idea.

this is RP first person game.

not a hive mind controlle game..

DWARFED. I want to dig my way to the bottom baby

[qwertyuiopas]

Can we get run-time map extending? Simply add 1 to world.maxz(or whatever the var is), gen the level, and have some list mapping Z-height to actual z-level...

[Googolplexed]

Actually, theres some byond libraries implementing saving and loading of maps, each person could have a small fort dynamically loaded when someone wants to go there

Add that in.

(Or I'd be willing to work on it myself)

[Akura]

For the poll, where in Armok's domain is the "yes" option?

[Orb]

For the poll, where in Armok's domain is the "yes" option?

Huh? 

[Akura]

Or, more understandable, all of the above.

[Orb]

Or, more understandable, all of the above.

Well thats not really the point.


If that was the case, everyone would pick that option. Also, im changing the description of HFS, no one is voting for it. 

[Megaman]

Thats it, I'm reinstalling Byond.

So, it's two in the morning, I'm kept awake by a constant stream of caffeine.
So, I'm just going to spew idea's with no particular.. IDEAS.

Stone!
Dirt!
Clay!
Tools!
Better tool sprites!
A downstairs sprite..

And I was wondering, how possible would an "Equip-" verb be? Such as "Equip-Pickaxe" or "Equip-Shovel" y'know?
I always found typing to be far easier on the fly compared to manually clicking.
