Rob Janes Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 **Lost and Two Dimensional**On a typical winter's eve, you lay nestled in bed with your laptop,catching up on the latest hit television series!Your eyelids grow heavier with each blink…Blink...Blink...Blink...ZzzZZzzZ...You awake to a clatter of hooves. "A clatter of hooves?" you think to yourself. "It's not Christmas Eve yet."Dazed and confused, you rise to gain your bearings."Where the hell am I?" gazing into the distance. "Are those?" you pause, bewildered, "pixelated trees?""I'm dreaming, only dreaming." you tell yourself."You aren't dreaming..." a soft womanly voice soothes your worries. "You're lost." she reaffirmed."And two dimensional." you reply. "Fuck."**Christmas 2015 Early Beta Now Available!**![](http://www.lostand2d.com/game2.png)![](http://www.lostand2d.com/game3.png)![](http://www.lostand2d.com/game4.png)Visit us online, follow my development blog and community shoutbox!www.lostand2d.com**Download and get started!**www.lostand2d.com/setup.zip**Help wanted?** Got an interest in story design, quest dialogue, events, and more?

Jumbofile Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Looks amazing! I always liked the 3d style, if pulled off right it can look pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeNjO Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Love it! one of the top 2 eclipse games I have played. I don't think it even feels like I'm playing an eclipse game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Janes Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 The performance issues are more related to the Maps not displaying properly at 4K resolution. Maps are generally 60x60\. When we do the math, that's 32*60 = 1920\. When I've ran the game in any full-screen resolution any higher than 1920x1080, the maps end up with the black border around them which I just find visually unappealing, thus I limited the size to 1600x900 and lower. Just my own personal preference more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Janes Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Just a few small updates tonight based on suggestions from BeNjO and Mohen!Patch Notes:+ Game Window now sizable by user to a Max of 1600x900+ WASD movement is now enabled by default and players no longer move when typing+ Chat channel tabs will now change color to alert of new messages in different tabs.+ Player class glyph now renders next to their Level on the character UI element+ You can now target yourself by clicking on your own character UI element+ Resources now properly render in relation to the Player+ A yellow pop-up bar will now appear when you level up!+ Implimented increased packet spamming protection and engine alteration protection.+ Resolved issue where equipping Armor was not removing it from Inventory.

Zetasis Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Looking great Rob! I played for a little bit but couldn't see to get into the cave. I'm going to give it another go just as soon as I get some work done on my project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Janes Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Quick Gameplay Video (excuse the poorer quality)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfmiipEh3qI* * *@'Zetasis':> Looking great Rob! I played for a little bit but couldn't see to get into the cave. I'm going to give it another go just as soon as I get some work done on my project.If you're having an issue where you've already completed the "A Scholar's Knowledge" quest and you have the quest called "The Birchwood Temple" in your Quest Log, but the NPC is still blocking your path into the temple, let me know so I can fix the quest for you. (You likely turned it in while it was bugged) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Janes Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 You can hold Shift to run faster if you find movement too slow.And yes, it's Eclipse (3.0 as the original base) just heavily modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
