Alright yes please if you can show me some pictures or anything it would be greatly appreciated :D

> Yeah! Veridian again! I Hope this will be longer than the beta one… i enjoy playing that, so i sure this will be good! :D Good Luck! Thank you its really awesome having someone as excited as us about Veridian. :D > Glad this is being worked on again. Thanks James! I just hope you guys will like what we've done with it since our last release. > The mapping is quite awful. I love getting criticism so we can improve the game the best we can but please use constructive criticism.

 * * * **Lore:** The Creation: _>! Extracted from 'The Siblings of Chaos' written by Halfar. >! Back when the world was dominated by chaos, when no balance existed, two entities came unto power… Valenessa, a humble and cheerful being that found happiness in others joy. There was also Dagan. Dagan was the noble and pround brother of Valenessa, and together, they sought to put an end to the endless madness of the world. Dagan proposed to his sister that they create two great kingdoms and guide their people as they saw fit. It would put an end to evil and lead the people to order, Dagan had said. Seeing no wrong in her brother's proposal, Valenessa asccepted. The kingdoms were established, borders put down, and laws created. Many years passed, and Valenessa, missing her dear brother, crossed the border to pay him a visit. In her travels, however, she saw that Dagan and his people had become unclean, rueful, and selfish. Monuments and statues devoted to Dagan had planted a sickness in his mind. He was a god, he had said. Valenessa, knowing that this was not true, (because while the siblings had great power, they were not gods) confronted Dagan. The battle that soon followed was catostrophic. The peoples of the land fought and killed. Monsters born of the ash and waste from weilders of magic and strange sciences attacked helpless women and children. Dagan and Valenessa nearly killed each other. To avoid further destruction of the land and people, Dagan and Valenessa agreed to carry the fight into the Underworld. There they waged a war so terrible that the surface of the earth shook with violent quakes. On and on they fought, and further down the battle carried them. It was not long before they found a stone unlike anything they have ever seen before. Valenessa called for a cease in the fight to observe this strange object. When Dagan agreed, they inched their way closer and closer to the glowing stone. Suddenly the glowing intensified, and two beams that resembled lightning shot out from the core and struck the two siblings. When they awoke, they felt different. Surges of great power pulsed through the brother and sister like the life blood that flows through veins. It was not long before Dagan screamed. Dagan had solved what Valenessa would have if given more time. They had been both blessed and cursed. They were indeed gods amoung men now, but they were forever seperated. For the noble loyal Dagan had been proclaimed God of the Dead, and his sister The Goddess of Light. So horrible was their seperation that Dagan once again struck out at the Valenessa, his new-found power easily disabling the un-prepared goddess. While Valenessa waited for death at the hand of her own brother, Dagan said this; 'I will forever rule the dead and the evil, just as you will always rule the living and the good. It is natural then, dear sister, that we seperate forever. May the kingdoms we have created perish. New kingdoms will be born of course, but never will they obtain the glory of the First Kingdoms. I bid thee farewell Sister… I'm sorry.' With tears in his eyes the mighty Dagan released his sister and fled into the deepest corner of darkness. He raised creatures of evil and horrors as he went. Valenessa, also weeping, returned to the surface, and once again began to constuct a life for the peoples of the world. >! Even though Dagan felt limitless power within him there was something he needed to do. The will of the higher gods was something he could not contend with, they commanded him to take a test of valor to prove if he was worthy of godship. Therefor, the higher gods vowed that all of his power would be stripped away if he did not bend to their will. Accepting the task appointed to him Dagan climbed the highest peaks to the north to prove himself worthy. He took the four day journey across searing hot plains, and climbing blistering cold conditions to reach his destination. The bekoning hand of the highest peak revealed itself more as he drew closer to the destiny he sought for. After reaching the top, he stripped away all of his armor and clothing, save for his lower body undergarments. He rose his hands up to the cloudy, snowy sky and screamed for his test to begin. A high powered burst of lightning struck his skin like water upon rock, sending him into a convulsing state where he eventually drifted away to a dream world. >! _Even though his task was far complete, he knew that if he did not do this his very soul would violently release itself from every orphus. This was the punishment of the higher gods if the host looked up on the source that gave them godship in the first place. He was given a stone knife and no shield and was forced to battle endless waves of impossible odds, using the powers granted to him sparingly knowing he could not use them for long._ >! Dagan's Uprising: >! >! _Why did Grottoshire suffer from chaotic death and destruction? A common question asked by the curious adventurers I see all the time. When Dagan was blasted with power initially well he and his sister, Valenessa ventured into the underworld to destroy the very power he became corrupted with, a tremor that spread throughout the world was the result. Dagan fled to the deep dark corners of the underworld after a trifle with his sister, raising a plethora of various creatures bread for pure chaos as each foot met the ground. He laid in wait as the power he now harnessed grew within him and was able to command armies and Legion Commanders. Before he made his attack, he disguised himself as a Nobleman and concealed himself from suspicion. Dagan walked the upperworld for days, sending out spies to cover all corners of the world. But there was a particular case he was greatly interested in. Word had reached his ears that a new shipping line had been established to the south of his hometown, one that would outfit his enemies with weapons and armor that were rumored to be smithed out of magical materials. For this, he sent out a creature that would be unseen by all, a creature that needed to be tamed through godly means, a creature who could move through lands like a spirit to a wall. Dagan awaited as his newly found ally scoped out a town known as Grottoshire. Only hours later was he able to receive the knowledge he sought. Once he had the information he ventured just outside of Grottoshire and summoned a staff out of thin air and slammed it into the ground, cracks, that resembled lightning bolts began to fill the ground around his feat as teal light illuminated from within them. The strike to the ground was hard and powerful enough to create a fissure which offered an opening for a small attack force, a few seconds later screams began to fill the summer air as Grottoshire became under siege from forces of his own making._ Norn Faldir Mine: >! _The mine connecting Grottoshire and the Dwarven city Norn Faldir was once full of riches. Thousands of workers would travel to the mine that runs deep underground from all corners of the map to invest time into gathering some of the most precious minerals this world has ever known. It was once the primary draw for people of all ages to mine and distribute their findings for profit and food�. even maybe a wench here and there. The flow of riches was booming. Carts of gold, gems, and crystals poured out of the mine every few minutes. Trade with Grottoshire was also going well, people would walk away happy trading furs for gold, crafting materials for gems life was prosperous until all chaos broke loose on the region. Where Dagan's attack on Grottoshire had a lot to do with the collapse of civilization and the cease of trade, another conflict was on the rise.__Shortly after Dagan's uprising, Dwarven brothers began to downward spiral into a disagreement that lead to a Civil War within the walls of the city. After weeks of ponderance, the people of Grottoshire had begun to realize that the mine was no longer being worked, the spark of the conflict ignited fear into the hearts of all laborers within causing them to flee to their homeland to be miles away from the increasing threat. During the period of the Civil War between half men, one of the warring sides commanded that the entrance to the Norn Faldir Mine be closed ultimately stopping all possible enemy outfitting, production, and tactically halting all oppressors a back entrance to territory. The Mine remains occupied by the otherworldly as remnants of the past cover it's extent leaving nothing but a memory. Once a place of hard labor, laughs, drama, and booze now sits frozen in time waiting for the next group of people to enter and work it once more._ **Media:** Screenshots: >! >!  **Extras:** The team: >! * Me- Lead Map designer, Project Lead * firos12- Lead Lore writer, Map designer Features: >! * Dragon hunting * Random monsters spawning(You can be walking through a forest normally filled with spiders and then get attacked by a giant.) * Sailing * ways for players to role-play * All areas/quests will have a story behind them * Monster Bounties * Random Events * Day/Night System * Dynamic Weather system * Mounts * Alot of other cool features that you will have to see yourself! >! * * * >! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hoJ6nXyczE >! **[Our Website(Click here to join)](http://dxxentertainment.com/Veridian)** >!

That's interesting if you ported it right then you use the ip from like ipchicken.com and it should work that's what I do and I have no problems connecting. Also make sure maybe that you set up a static ip that also might help.

> Bring scripting back! Yes Please :D I miss scripting. Other then that just make us a good optimized and clean engine. Give us alot with only providing a little so the engine stays clean from clutter that's why I suggest scripting so the only things bogging down our games are things that we want/need in our games.

> My waifu and I just chilling: That looks like the perfect place for a picnic :P That map does look pretty awesome though.

> These look really good I agree! Keep up the good work everyone I can't wait to see more :D

> Hmm, the map looks pretty goo, though roads are supposed to be well traveled, I'd get rid of the grass on it, but again, good job and I like the tileset. Thank you! Your right I should probably clear that grass, I don't know why but it looks empty to me without it that's why I put it in lol. > I can say it looks good for what I can see so far, but is the sword cursor still hard to see when its moved. Was just thinking it might look better a little bolder. It may just be this old man and his bad eyes though lol… Thank you! If your talking about the sword I think you are that's actually not the cursor lol I'm currently using a "spirit" sprite so he his hard to see but it's a sword my character is using lol sorry about that. :P and [TehDoug](http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/user/71882-tehdoug/) That screenshot looks pretty awesome! the map gives a cool palace garden feel to it, I like it! :D

I Have not seen a topic for this anywhere (I May be looking in the wrong place) but I think we should have a topic so people can post there work in progress screenshots of their games and others can give feedback and help them out without having to create a whole project board. **Rules:** Must post only images of your projects(No Random pictures) must only give constructive criticism (No "It sucks" with out giving points for improvement) So I Shall start off with my game: 

12 players playing??

> Not much can be said. I like them. Glad to see you working on this again! ^_^ Thanks Agora! It feels pretty good coming back to Veridian. :P

 So I've picked up Veridian once again! A lot of times in the past I've for some reason wanted to keep Veridian a secret and didn't share a whole lot about the game. This thread will be my way of showing off some mapping in the game and you guys can give some feed back (Please be constructive criticism). I will try to update this as I map new areas. So Let's Begin! **Grottoshire: ** >! **Outside1:** >! **>!  >! **Outside2:** >! >!  >! **Tavern:** >! >!  >! **House:** >! >!  >! **Blacksmith:** >! >! **

 For more information about the game please go [here](http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/topic/133629-veridian/). **What I am looking for:** >! Veridian is a Indie 2D ORPG. I am trying to make this game look and feel as amazing as I possible can to draw the players in to a huge ever changing world full of story and adventure. I am looking for people who will share the love of Veridian and not only be able to map but to have his/her own ideas and not be afraid to share them if they would make the game more fun and exciting. I am also looking for people who can be some-what dedicated as in just work on it whenever you possible can. **What do I offer to the team?** >! Don't worry I don't just sit on a throne and boss everyone around I'll be right there getting my hands dirty as well. I generally love mapping but I will also be doing just about everything else as well. **Cool stuff about being part of DxxEntertainment:** >! Once we get an actual team it'll be alot of fun. We will have weekly meetings were we just talk about what the plan is for the next week and it will also be a good time for everyone to share ideas and make suggestions. We will have team merchandise so if you can show off your pride. If things go well I may buy everyone a t-shirt. Also we will have tournaments on other games occasionally. Another bonus is I am the founder but everyone that puts good work into Veridian will be an owner and any money made will be shared evenly. **Graphics we will be using:** >!  >! There is a large resource of graphics characters/monsters/tiles you name it and it's probably there. Also i'm in the process of getting a custom GUI done buy a really good artist. The style i'm going for something like this but it is a really basic map. Most outdoor maps will be 30X30\. Questions and concerns please PM me! To apply please fill out this small resume:(PM it to me or if you really want you can post it here) >! How much experience do you have with the eclipse engine? >! >! Examples of work: >! >! Any other stuff I should know about you:(Can leave blank ) Thanks you all for your time and I hope to hear from some of you soon! PS: Sorry for any grammar errors as I generally make alot of them. 

Looking good guys :) Although i can never get past 3…

Looks pretty promising so far keep it up!

I've encountered this bug too and it's quite annoying considering I want to add alot of paperdolls.

I'm definitely playing it I've been a fan of elder scrolls games and lore for awhile now. I've been following the development of it so far and I like how it's looking plus it'll give me a MMO to play on my xbox.

I think your kickstarter page looks pretty awesome!

Everything looks awesome Noth! Keep up the good work!

Eclipse 4.0 for me so far due to the fact of me not being a programmer. I love the fact that it is still supported and updating constantly.Eclipse 5 will definetly become my favorite when its released though.

Looks awesome ambard!

Looks awesome! Especially love the art work on the updater.

You should be able to make multiple zones. I have a few in Veridian and it works fine for me.

I believe a good story really brings a game to life and makes it more believable. I know some games aren't going for believable but to the person who likes to "RP" it makes it alot more fun if they have a good story to go off. Also if it doesn't just focus on the main story there should be some equally great side quests/stories as well. There isn't too much more I want to add with out giving away some of the ideas behind Veridian. ^.^
