Hi everyone!

So, I’m making this news page today to keep you informed about what’s going on with the game.

First of all: Good news:

The game’s core is ready. I found a way to be able to make the maps in RPG Maker (This is WAAAAY easier like this) and to be able to still have the online aspect.

BUT, I may change the games core further in developement; That depends on Eclipse Origins AND FRoG Creator’s devs. Basically, those two teams are working on two diferent engines MADE for Online RPGs. The actual way I’m working is better than the two actual egnines that currently exists (Eclipse 4.2 and FRoG Creator 0.6.3), but the future engines will be way better than the actual way I’m working.

Now… Bad news :/…

Well, you are more and more every day. Actually, this awesome, but it comes whith bad things.

Last week you were 900, the week before, you were 800. The month before, you were 500. Now we reached 1’000!

Like I said, this WON’T be an MMORPG, just an ORPG with a few servers that can contain barely 200 people.

You understand that with the means I got currently, I won’t be able to let everyone play (Assuming the fact that in one year or so, when the beta will be released, you will be A LOT more).

Also, I’m alone, so development *WILL*** **be slow. For now, I still didn’t ask for help, because, my work is not a constant flow. I have many other projects and things to do (Including my private life). When I will reach a certain point in dev, I will ask for a few to come and help me, but not for now.

Finally, you are too much asking for alpha/beta testing. First of all, we still didn’t reach the alpha/beta state. Secondly, I said to many of you that I only needed 50 for alpha (including myself). This is nothing, I know. I will give the alpha testing right to the 10 first that asked me, and I will let the 39 others deal with speed (a link will be given, but only the 39 first one to click will be alpha testers). For beta, this will be a bit different, as alpha testers won’t be able to be beta testers and no one will be privileged. About 100~200 will be able to be beta testers. The number is still not decided though.

And then, we reach the annoying part:

Like I said before, you are too much to be able to play all together. To let you play, I will need to rent bigger servers. Bigger servers are quite expensive. So I’m asking you to donate as much as you want to help me rent the servers. The money will *ONLY*** **be used for this. If I can’t rent biggers servers, then I won’t, and not everyone will be able to play. I know that this is not good, but I am not an company. I can’t do anything I want to do.

So If you accept to donate (even 1$, this is enough) click on this link:

Actually, if each of you gives 1$, I will be able to rent those servers for quite a while.

This was all I had to say I think,

Stay tuned!

LOX.
