okay so its a possible task. Thank you guys.

Hello i have come back with yet another noob-ish question. I was wondering if there is a way to change: -Amount of frames for each sprite? (for smoother animation/idle animations.) -And the whole sprite layout? (Like making each sprite a file of its own that cant be opened in ms paint etc.) thats all for now.

that looks handy thanks man

Thank you for the replies. So from what i understand you guys are saying its vulnerability is in my hands in terms of whether or not i moderate closely enough etc. And what i meant with the 3rd question is how hard it is to get people online like porting and all of that stuff. Also will they have to download more than one thing or is it possible to jam the library files and client into one process of installation? Also one last question, will the person playing just have to open the client or will he/she have to run additional programs to play?

My question pretty much regards whether or not using Eclipse Origins or moded versions of it are safe. I mean safe as in -Is it easily hacked -Is someone going to be able to rip into the game's source and files and run off with what they please -And if the whole "people being turned off by playing eclipse games because its servers are slow and are a pain to connect to etc." problem has been addressed and fixed. I would really enjoy being able to just have a pre-maid engine and work off of it for free but i have high expectations to make this game as good as a possibly can with what i have to work with. And please try not to be bias when answering this. Am i better off using eclipse or shelling out money to have a custom engine made for my game, and if so where do i start looking to have that done?

ill do that. And just asking, the stuff im aiming for with the engine is possible right?

@Azure: > To that extent I agree. If your goal is specifically to make money you would do better with something custom tailored to your game. Well im not trying to actually make money, just pay the people that helped me out. And as for having a custom engine made, that would take long and defiantly cost me alot of money.

@Vaughan: > I wouldn't say the problem is 2D, I think the issue is the way Eclipse Origins is structured. would you say im better off using something else?

@Azure: > If you're using your own graphics, ideas, etc. It's possible to profit, but unlikely. im just curious if its legal. Like if i ask people to donate and i dont share with whoever built the engine etc.

If able, ill pay. Were allowed to profit from Eclipse right?

Hm, no one looks really interested. Okay i can shell out some info… Im going to be getting The Crystal Shire Editors Edition once i save up enough money. I figured it would save some time because its origins already upgraded a bunch with the scrolling and all that jazz. There are still some things i would like to add though. One thing is a Gathering System, basically you can gather resources from plants, mining, maybe even fishing but also NPC's which is my biggest focus. I want something very similar to the way monster hunter works where you can craft items out of things you have gathered and parts you have taken from enemies. Another thing is a combining system once again like Monster Hunter, Minecraft, Resident Evil, Where you can combine two items to make a more effective one. Dont take me wrong these are by no means easy things to do for a programmer and i fully understand that. But i have a goal for this game and i hope to reach it. There are more smaller things that aren't as much as a priority but im hoping someone experienced will be interested. And i promise i wont waste your time. I will give credit to all who deserve it and income (if made) will also be shared if you choose to help. Ill be posting concept art in a while.

I can provide some screenshots but thats all the info im comfortable with giving away as of now. To prove i wont waste your time- Deviantart: http://captain-carrion.deviantart.com/ Newgrounds: http://captain-carrion.newgrounds.com/art/ And below is a bit of a MS paint portfolio.

Hello, im getting back into game making an all that, and im starting up a new project. Im looking for experienced programmers to assist me in making some kinks in the origins engine. To give a good idea of things im trying to do: -Things like scripted animations and cutscenes -Npc text boxes -Pets -etc. I am aware there are edited version most likely including most of those things but there are some specifics and i would at least like to talk to someone that knows what they are doing to see if some of the things i want are possible. -There are a few other things i want to tinker with but i'd rather talk about it privately. Just message me and whatever and ill give the needed info about me game and once i get a solid team ill put up a info page for it.

2nd pic none of these are full blown sprite sheets just concept art kinda
