I can vouch for Helladen too, he has just finished programming in a new mapping system for me. He was fast, his prices were cheap and he was flexible when I changed my mind. I would definitely hire him again.

Are we going to get the source in a future version? That would be useful because no game (that I can think of) needs all these features, but some games could benefit from each feature. It would be great if we could take the features we wanted out of the engine (giving credit of course). Not to put this engine down (because it is probably the most feature rich engine I have seen - including premium engines), but it is going to run slower with all of those features. Anyway, even if you don't release source then it is still amazing, can't wait for 0.2.0! (and then 1.0 which I'm assuming will have more features). Keep it up! –Matt

Hi, I have been planning my game for a while now and I have finally decided to hire some people to help work on it. The game is secret right now and anyone on the team will have to sign an NDA, this is just a formality - I hope you understand. I cannot tell you much about the game but I am willing to pay money to hire people for to work on it. All of these positions can be paid although I would happily accept free work in exchange for me helping you etc. Anyway, the positions are (and there can be multiple people per slot): * VB6 Programmer (URGENTLY need!) * Pixel Artist / GUI Artist (Also pretty important) * Musician (Not essential at this point but would like anyway) * Mapper (Need but could make do by myself if required) * Website Programmer (I have a MyBB forum which needs integration with the game) I will pay anyone involved, please PM me if you are interested. Don't expect too much money, but I will not rip you off. Thanks, –Matt

Only just had time to play around with it, its a great base but a little off being ready for a game (not that I think Baron won't get there). I'll definitely be following the progress of this!

Yay the source is finally out!!! What features are you planning for the next release Baron?

I still can't believe that you made Eclipse (the best 2D OPRG engine available) into a flash client (the most compatible, stable, fast, etc. language available)! This is so amazing, can't wait for a source release.

Baron, I was only wondering if it was possible, I have no intention of using both. I had also considered making an android app and, even though flash is no longer natively supported, you can use the adobe air repackager for it (I think).

I was just wondering, don't worry - I plan to use flash for my game now!

I would love to have sad script in an engine, and I would love for that to be FLASH!!! BTW, would it theoretically be possible to have a flash AND vb6 client connect to the SAME server? Thanks, –Matt

> DON'T implement sad scripting… it would ruin the engine. I don't think FLASH in ECLIPSE can physically be ruined… I can't wait for the source for this!!!

Thanks Deathbeam, but I cannot program to save my life. How much would you offer for this then? EDIT: Someone has already made a tutorial for a MyBB connection that works in ORIGINS, but not EA. Also Deathbeam, I mean a license code system, not a cheat code system. Thanks.

EDIT: After reading some forum posts, I have added a couple more features, and changed my price. Hi. I have been trying to get someone to make an engine with the right feature set for me for quite a while now, and it simply hasn't happened. Therefore I would like to offer $100 to anyone who can add the features below to the final version of EA. Thank you. 1) Change the event system back to JC Denton Denton Denton Denton Denton Denton Denton Snider's one, or make another one in the RPG Maker style - with good memory management and speed! 2) Add a multi-type licensing system where a user can, through the event system, make their character premium - server generates codes in bulk, each one is redeemable only once 3) Most of the features from old Eclipse's: time; game speed; news; events; scripts; lighting; etc - VB is preferable for the scripting system, though not mandatory 4) Ability to go full screen - should show more of a map rather than stretch to fit 5) Must be able to have encrypted graphics 6) Be able to connect to a MyBB database for character login / password - access level should be stored on game server though 7) Finish Help Center 8) Add all 6 tutorials from the EA page (I could do this, but I want them to work with the other features on this list) 9) Significantly optimize the engine and improve loading / rendering speed 10) Add a ton of server and admin panel features, making everything configurable without a server restart - including server access: none, admin, mapper, beta, etc. 11) A guild system where a map can be a guild hall, and the guild leader can edit part of it 12) Instanced maps, player, party and guild 13) A house system similar to the guild hall where the player can change their house with a different bed that they brought etc. Thanks to anyone who can do this. Please note that I will need to have the source for this, and I will have to test the completed product before I make payment. Also, the system must be bug free, so if I find any bugs, you will have to fix them for free. Finally, I get FULL EXCLUSIVE rights to the engine and all of its source code (the additions not the original engine source). Thanks again, –Matt

Baron, thou art a genius.

I was prepared to offer what I said I offered, but I do not want to get into a fight with the Eclipse community. I am sorry for anyone who I may have offended, please forgive me. Because of this, I would like an admin to close the thread. If anyone would like to develop an engine with the features I requested, please PM me and I will talk about cash payment. However, this does not seem possible in this contest anymore. I am sorry to all involved, I do not want to create poor relationships with members of the community. Thanks, –Matt

Believe what you want, the keys are genuine.
