Hey guys. Figured I'd post here. Consty and I developed a new game entitled, "Mirage Online Classic", which is both playable from a web browser and downloadable from Steam. It's the old engine with a fresh coat of paint. We look forward to talking to some of you old players in-game!

> Any plans to release it open source? Marshy!

[attachment=391:ss10.jpg] [attachment=392:ss8.jpg] [http://www.Crendale.com](http://www.Crendale.com) The engine is the Odyssey Engine, which was the reason myself and Consty made the original Mirage game. While there is an option to create your own server and post it within the Java Registry, the main server, Crendale, is ran by me (TheZeus). I was the original mapper of Mirage during the Conty and Shannara reign. Give it a try!

Yes, I made many of the tiles, but some of them were credited by people before me. I updated many of the other graphics within the tile set as well.

@Justn: > I love these sprites thanks for sharing them bro No problem man.

I'm honestly blown away to see how the community has changed since 10+ years ago. Someday I'll go more in-depth on the Acer purchase of Mirage… the transition from Consty to Shannara, etc... Those days were absolutely insane. I actually traded e-mails with Shannara a few months back, but I have no clue where Consty is anymore.

Definitely a good choice. I'm 27… I finally decided that the drama of the 2d community no longer fits in my life. My career is going great and I need to cut the childish shit out of it. I changed my signature on the Ody Forum to a photo of Crystalshire. I'm never posting there again, but the many from the past might bring you a new player or two. Consider it my way of paying it forward to one of the good guys I've met along the way. I'm downloading it now. Interested in giving it a real try.

Indeed. Sorry, I've been gone from the forum for a while. Still working on your dream game? Edit: Obviously I'm a bit slow and simply had to click on your forum signature image. Great work! Happy to hear you followed through with your dream vision.

Here is another graphic I made to showcase the full sized sprites in a front forward view. Enjoy!

Indeed. I quit the game staff a few days ago after 2-3 years of being the main guy in charge. Decided my work should still be usable elsewhere since that ship is sinking. Also, at 27 I decided the younger main programmer was lazy and unprofessional. Shocking, right Robin?

Enjoy, it is in a different format… but this will surely help out many people. 50% Resized Preview

Odyssey Classic, the original game that spawned the game Mirage to be created, is offering servers on their main client (13 years running) for $30 per month. Servers will be included on the main client server list, a forum section on http://www.OdysseyClassic.com and main page updates. Basically, it is a way for you to run a server without any of the hardcoding. We can make some changes to your server if interested. Find out more at http://www.OdysseyClassic.com

I noticed the mention of guilds has been removed in the to-do and isnt in the notes. Have you decided to leave this to us to add? That isn't a problem, but was interested in knowing.

When I mapped Mirage, I planned nothing. I just moved around as I mapped and went with feel. Sometimes, overplanning can screw up a project and make it too, meh. Have an idea of the overall concept, then use trial and error to fix it. The great thing about development is you don't have to show it to anyone until you are happy with the results.

This appears to be for a very old version of EO
