  1. **Well I missed a good bit of activity, didn't I?** It's nice to see the Eclipse community found my old pet project useful. And it's even nicer to see the community taking initiative to restoring the project. I came back when I was given a website report that Voltisoft was receiving more than 100 downloads a month of our engine. Voltisoft and I (for all intensive purposes I am dictating where Voltisoft goes with this, as project lead) are interested in setting up "Community-backed" and "Official" releases of the engine, instead of dropping any response on this engine and leaving other people to wonder about it. The truth is I've spent a lot more time making other things and not looking back at Mirage Legacy because I felt I worked on it to the point where I didn't understand it enough myself, if that makes any sense. I'm really glad to see people like this product and I will take a few moments to clean up and/or update the OP. **We've got plans for this engine, stick around! Stay strong, community!**
  2. ![](http://indierising.net/filehost/images/logo.png) Suddenly…Mutants! is a Survival top-down shooter made in Construct 2. This project is largely a learning experience for me to learn how Construct 2 works. Play it in your browser, and compete on the Clay.io leaderboards, earn achievements as well. ![](http://indierising.net/filehost/images/gamepic.png) The game is wave based and has a light upgrade system to increase your movement speed and rate of fire by subtracting some of your score, balance your upgrades and skill to reach the top of the leaderboards. This game is also mobile optimized with Virtual Joysticks, best played on the clay.io website. This was again, a huge learning experience for me and feedback is appreciated. Have fun! Controls are explained ingame. Thanks to Jonathan Elihu for the music and Freesfx.co.uk for sound effects.

  3. Could you post a screenshot of what you see when you compile? If that's a compile error I'd like to see what line it highlights.
  4. I'm not SnowStorm actually ^^;; But I am in charge of this here engine. It's a possibility, and I'll definitely look into it. There's a lot of little things I'm interested in customizing for the next update, so I'll be experimenting with a few things over the next few days.
  5. Thanks for the backup there Growlith. I'll add that as a mirror.
  6. **WE'RE BACK!** Hi Eclipse! After various events in my life including legal struggles and studies I've had little time to work and I'm finally found time to fix ML getting rid of the major event and quest bugs. I must sincerely apologize for the inactivity but I had a lot going on in my life and now I have to time attend to doing what I love - providing for the devloper community. Take a look at MLv1.2 in the OP, and I'll be posting details on modifying the source to fix the bugs yourself soon. Thanks for your understanding. Enjoy!
  7. GAMEBULB - Shedding light on Game Design. GameBulb is a blog reviewing and voicing in on everything regarding the videogame industry. From the common trends of game genres to the technology powering today's games, GameBulb looks everything over and makes it accessible, and easy to understand, with food for thought for everyone. I'm the sole writer right now but I have a lot in store. Currently using WordPress to suite my needs. It's very new, and I've written one article regarding classification of Fighting Games to give an example of my writing style and what I'll be touching on in game design. Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome. I'm asking that you all spread the word, to any and all gamers or news readers. I've got a lot in store, so I want to share it with as many people as possible. I'll be looking for an editor or another storywriter at some point, if anyone is interested please let me know. Check out my site at [http://gamebulb.wordpress.com/](http://gamebulb.wordpress.com/)
  8. UPDATE: I've cleaned up the thread, added some new links, provided some notices. Thanks for supporting Legacy! We're topping the IndieDB charts! If you like the engine, head on over to our IndieDB page and give us a good rating!
  9. Does anyone have a fix for the problem where you cannot update an offline player's data?

  11. Let me articulate a couple things to you all seeing as there are people criticizing my choice in naming the product. First the Eclipse name has been coming under fire. With the new management and official engine there is the possibility of changes in the licensing in the name, which nobody here can really confirm. I've a read a bit about buggy systems here and really my only reply to that is to prove that to me so I can work with it, because really, I'm not going release this without providing support. At the end of the day I'm getting complaints from people who won't need this or want it. But that's fine, because that's one of many voices to hear for feedback. Those who want this now have it and that's really what we put our stuff out there for. Do I acknowledge the statements made by people like Stein and Zeno? Of course. Do I think branding this under Mirage might be misleading? I'm definitely going to debate myself about it. Again, People will need it, people won't, but I'll listen anyway.
  12. ![](http://i.imgur.com/D8JevBu.png) [![](http://button.indiedb.com/popularity/medium/engines/525.png)](http://www.indiedb.com/engines/mirage-legacy-2d-orpg-engine) _Have a look:_ >! ![](http://i.imgur.com/i2qoqPG.png) ***NEW*** - Mirage Legacy is currently undergoing a long-term support plan, you can take part by posting in the new [Voltisoft Subforum](http://voltisoft.com/forums/mirage-legacy-engine) about your latest endeavors with the engine. We'll be releasing tons of information soon! **What?** Mirage Legacy is a Custom Version of Eclipse 2.3 returning some of the best source additions from the Eclipse community into one simple but dynamic engine with the basic needs of an ORPG ready for you. Unleash the power of Mirage and Eclipse with one engine that is free and open source now, and forever. **Why?** The reason is simple. The history of Eclipse and Mirage are being quickly and easily forgotten by many and the true spirit of Eclipse is being lost. This is a tribute to what it once was and what it can become. Create the game _your_ way with no limits, no restrictions, and open source code. **What can it do?** -Open source now, and forever. :Don't like something? Want something new? Open up Visual Basic 6 and have your way with it however you'd like. The engine is free, and always will be. -Rich Event System :Resembling the system implemented in the RPG Maker series, edit and customize events to create NPCs and Cinematics like no other ORPG. Create detailed and rich dialogues and riddles that rival anything out there. -Quest System :Create epic quests and adventures with great rewards and challenging tasks of all kinds with a rich and detailed Quest editor packed in. -Social Enhancements :Take advantage of the packed in Guild system, E-Mail system and Various chat channels included in the engine to give your players every method of communication they'd ever need, and if you ever need more, the program's built in packet system is clearly understood and open to edits. -Combat Enhancements :Enhance your spell casting, sword slashing experience with a clearly understood pet system and combat tweaks like auto-targetting, Item consume tweaks and NPC speed options, all packed on top of the rich combat system. Take the battle to the long-distances with an open and frantic Projectile combat system integrated into the Weapon editor. **I have questions!** Currently you can find me and a FAQ posted over on the official Voltisoft subforum: [http://voltisoft.com/forum/mirage-legacy-engine](http://voltisoft.com/forum/mirage-legacy-engine) **Where do I download this?** Download the latest release here: [http://voltisoft.com/miragelegacy](http://voltisoft.com/miragelegacy) **A Voltisoft Open Source R&D Product** **Created by Kevin Higgins (Snowshinobi)** **All contributions credited in the README**
  13. > Many debates have started over the scripting system in EO 4.0\. The main/only reason it hasn't been done or been put onto the 'todo' list is purely because scripting allows users who are using the eclipses server hosting facilities and gaining access to the server host via the scripts. Its quite easy to set up and might even result in destroying the server if the person who wrote it had any talent at all, destroying everyone's data who has paid for the server hosting. I'm sure a safe method will spring to mind, if you find one please do post it. I would personally love for scripting to be in EO 4.0. This was brought up my Kibbelz as to why there is not a scripting system because it would destroy the current unified server. How to fix this? Notice in the features for EO4, you find this; Server List that allows you to connect to any EO 4 based game with the same client. Don't do this. People make their own games and pour their time and effort into it so it is THEIR game. People should be able to do whatever it is they can to be able to single out their title from every other because that is how you create something original and great. If you want to make a GOOD Eclipse engine, I highly recommend to the developers to consider removing this functionality and implementing a scripting system that is user-by-user based. This is my 100% honest opinion and I will accept whatever challenges to my logic the new developers or those opposing my opinion bring forth to me.
  14. I like that these fixes come out. But I have to ask is, was there a previous issue with the system?

    Logos

    Were dealing with a promotional banner for something with a name, aren't we however? You can't announce an alpha without any indication from text. Logo design is really case by case in terms of how to go about things.
  16. Not going to hate on your work here, but the house displayed here is very similar to the one that appeared in the Slenderman sequel. Take that for what you will.

    Logos

    This isn't necessarily a Logo. Now, to be more constructive apart from Kusy's opinions, a logo is not just some text, it is text, obviously, but it is built and modified to look like they are one single thing, and have to convey a theme. You write EverEmber, but the problem is there is no reference to Fire or anything telling me what this game is really about. Look at this. ![](http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs14/f/2007/114/3/b/Summon_Night_4_Logo_by_Natsuki_MaiHiME.png) See that logo? Good example of one. Summon Night is a light-hearted game with intense combat by design, If I never told you this, the logo which is bright would tell you about the theme and the style of the text would give you the impression of an action game. When you make logos, stylize your text to be relevant to the game. Notice the Sword for the T and the star for the point of the I, referencing actual elements of these games. What you really want to do is convey a theme in your text, and modify things to appeal. Never keep your text perfectly straight and aligned unless it's on purpose, otherwise be creative with the colors and shapes of the text. Typing it in isn't really the only thing you want to do.
  18. > Not to add to your disillusionment, but these people are in the industry to make money; it's that simple. They make money by engineering and producing products for a very specific market segment (or at least use to). Now they're simply diversifying their products to enable them to enter new markets and no one with any business sense is going to even flinch at any micro-transactions they tack onto their service except those who can't afford it; those who can't afford it or who are anal retentive with their money, for all intents and purposes, are the minority. You say that, and quite frankly I agree that opening the media capability will obviously bring money in, money Microsoft may need to power itself. But it's not about whether or not they tack-on microtransactions, it's that your media device will be locked in various aspects unless you're willing to pay fee after fee. You tell me about how the minority are people who are not willing to spend all their money into the device with little worry about the general cost of microtransactions, but why do you think GameStop Execs and the general public had a backlash at MS for their limitations on Used games beforehand when we were just getting information about the ONE? And if you really, REALLY want to tap into the majority market, you need to make it cost-effective for people. You know why the Wii dominated the market? Affordability. You know one of the biggest arguments in favor of the PS3? The free online service. Maybe _you_ find the majority to be people who do not mind spending amounts of money beyond their investment, but the Free-To-Play model is rising in popularity and the PC market getting known for it's great game deals. Ultimately, I feel that this can't be helped because Microtransactions are gaining force with the new internet marketplace of today, but I find it wrong that the ONE is going to not only provide you with microtransactions for software, but to lock and restrict things in your hardware, not the Online service.
  19. Alright, I have a 360, and I've looked quite a bit into Xbox ONE. Alright, let me tell you all about why I find this system to be straying from what a Console really is. A lot of people here argue that we're revolutionizing game consoles with the ONE and it's multimedia capabilities. I can't deny it will do a lot. But what if I told you in order to use Facebook and Youtube, even the notoriously bad Internet Explorer, you MUST have a LIVE subscription? Who are you guys to tell me, knowing Microsoft's executives and their inconsistent data that's leading to fees for used games and offline usage, and even restrictions on borrowing games, that they won't pile on the fees for these services? I'd be A-OK with the media capabilities of the ONE if this was not apparent on the 360 already. Now let's consider what we _really, really_ bought our current consoles for. Games, and online services related to gaming. Not many people, and I'm sure the majority of people who read this will buy their gaming console for media capability because even though the PS3 took advantage of Blu-Ray before the others, the other consoles surely thrived based on their gaming capability. So that's where I pose the question to you - You can tell me all about how this is revolutionizing the console market, but what did you really buy the 360 for? What, to play DVDs? Most likely not. Add this on top of the fees and monetary statement I've presented to you based on the current situation of the 360, how great will it be really? I look at it as the all-in-one that will get to your wallet after you've spent a good amount of money for what you wanted, but it doesn't stop there. Now, we're missing the OTHER side of this discussion - _Kinect._ Let's think about the Kinect. Motion tracker, great capability. Now, here is where I get a bit more assuming. Based on what I've said above, I think it really comes down to not how the developers use it, but how Microsoft decides how the Kinect uses itself. Supposedly there will be a lot of personalization behind it and some theories I've heard is the ability to recognize people out of a crowd and call upon their input names. I'm personally not all too thrilled about my Kinect trying to give me commands or talk to me about things that will surely be taken advantage of for ad space while I'm playing a game. It's not the new JARVIS, it's a voice that's going to surely do something you won't want it to assuming it includes some sort of self-control. To conclude, I find that the capability of the Xbox will be overshadowed by Microsoft's money-making opportunity behind it. I can't say I wouldn't have expected it, but the new Generation will bring new methods.
  20. Evening Eclipse, I've added this tutorial for Buffs and Debuffs made by Ryoku Hasu ( [http://www.touchofde…uff-spells-v12/](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/topic/125070-eo-buffdebuff-spells-v12/) ) and I've encountered a problem. When you apply a buff, your player stats are not updated, and you can't tell you've been buffed at all. I feel like this issue is part of a code piece that's missing, or perhaps no function to display buff times or types was not added at all. If anyone has the same issue, how might one fix this?
  21. A proper build system should be implemented imo, but to be more specific to the OP I'm pretty sure he means the organization of the Editor. And I don't like the organization of the spell Editor. everything else looks relatively similar to eachother but the spell editor is cluttered and should be specified to show certain things under certain categories.
  22. Haha. You guys have spam. But I have no respect for Jagex at all now after their terrible "remake" of Ace of Spades.
  23. No and no for both your guess and question. I guess General General Pony.
