> I really like graphic! you have your own style love it!
Haha thanks
> I just tried it again and there was no lag, it was just Firefox being a drain on my system before.
Thanks for investigating! -
> Aha, good stuff. Maybe it was just my computer but the game lagged all the way through. I do love how Black Cat becomes a boss when he gets a gun, just shooting that guy who says he doesn't like Black Cat had me Loling :P
The lag is odd, the game shouldn't be exhaustive to run on even low spec systems. What are you running out of curiosity?
And thanks! Black Cat does become a bit cocky when he gets his gun ;)
> Hmm. Looks interesting. Did you make the whole game or just the pixel art Kreator?
Whole game. Only thing I can think of that I didn't do is the GUI and the game icon which is just a default for now. -
This is the most unappealing mess of artwork I think I've ever seen
-
What's with all the mixed graphics? The sprites are at 200% zoom, yet nothing else is. Some art appears pixelled, while others are gradients or just RPG Maker sprites.

220kg deadlift, hoping to maybe compete in powerlifting for my region. :) -
If we get enough interest, I'll share a spawn point using a hearth secret so we can all play together. Would love to have at least a dozen of us.

Enter one of those .gifs in the mockup contest!

Hey mate, if your still working on this you should enter the first new official eclipse contest. :)

Anybody interested in playing again? :D
[http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/topic/134202-haven-hearth-anyone-interested-in-playing-again/](http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/topic/134202-haven-hearth-anyone-interested-in-playing-again/) -
Are any members of the community interested in playing this game together again? As you'll view in the last player list, we had a LOT of community members playing together. It was quite a success, but over time, the game suffered from lag, some lost interest, others died (permanently). Now that Haven and Hearth has it's lag issues improved, and the new world, I thought it would be great to start playing again!
If this gets enough interest, we'll start a new player list, and a new spawn zone for everyone to meet at. Following spawning and adding each other in game, we can then organise a few small things, like everyone can register on a topic who they are in-game, and what profession(s) they will aim for so we can have a diverse number of skills between us, and know who can do what.
Here is a screenshot for those unfamiliar with the game. Its a hardcore sandbox mmorpg-

Thanks Rory!
Hey guys! Sorry for lack fo updates. I'm busy until the end of this month. But, new updates coming soon :) -
> baha i did the gui on MSPaint

> I'm Proud :D
Haha no you didn't. MSPaint doesn't have gradients, drop/outer shadows and proper AA -
Preview of armor is now available on my blog!

A great big thank you to Dash whom has been working hard on finishing the armor-icons for me! -
New graphics are great, love the grass and trees. House definately reminds me of mine, but great ideas can't be kept secret haha. Shadows definately could use some touch-ups. My only other concern is that the graphics don't match the theme of the game. It looks like a fantasy rpg, not a zombie survival.

> 'Emberstorm Games' has a nice ring to it :)
Thanks! I think I'll use it. I really did like the name so I definately wanted to use it for something. -
> I voted for "Tales of a New World"… Reason being, it's inviting and speaks professional. With game titles I find that what may seem cliche, oftentimes ends up becoming memorable due to it's simplicity. Examples include Dragon Warrior, Everquest, Dungeons and Dragons and so on. I also love Elandor Chronicles so I'm torn. Have you considered combining the two, such as : Elandor Chronicles: Tales of a New World. It gives the idea that the game has a mysterious legacy and leaves room for, if you so decide, future sequels.
YOUR RIGHT I'LL USE ALL 3.
Studio name, Emberstorm Studios/Productions or whatever. Game name- Elandor Chronicles. First Release/chronicle name- Tales of a New World.
> I prefer Elandor, and Tales of a New World might bring you many problems in the future due to the Tales of Series owning a title called Tales of the New World, which is a series. I can see conflicts arising from this.
>
> Thanks,
>
> us.
Thanks for the advice. I usually just google potential names for my game or places in my game to see if they are unique. I seem to have missed this. -
Ok. I've added Elandor Chronicles to the poll. I was hoping for a final name thats both simple and catchy, but if Elandor Chronicles has a lot of favor from the community perhaps I'll stick with it.

Definately the smaller head. The other head looks like an alien/ or egg.

Good work, but looking a bit pale (twilight?)
-
> I don't like the vibe I'm getting from "Tales of a New World." I dunno the exact word I'm looking for, it just sounds to broad and story-ish. I like Emberstorm because it's short and memorable (like Ambardia, or Runescape, or Aegis.)
Thanks, and your opinion on this?-
> I got some feedback from friends, and one of them said Emberstorm sounds too much like a noun referring to 'a storm of embers', which would make a bad name premise unless there is something related in the game. Does anybody else get this vibe? -
It's a tough decision for me. The continent is named Elandor, and the game is planned to be released in segments so Elandor Chronicles is suiting. Emberstorm sounds fun and fantastic so it's awesome, and Tales of a new World is adventurous.

Alright sure, I'll update with milestone releases. Also, save your game at the end of the demo, and future versions should be able to support the save files so you can continue with your current progress.
