ghost1 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 [http://aegis-rpg.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=4](http://aegis-rpg.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=4):> Hello, today I'm here with the first "development blog" of Aegis. I've been wanting to make this one for quite a while because there has been a drastic change of plan with the game's development. First of all, I've dropped Java for both the client and server and decided to use the .NET framework with the XNA framework for graphics, input and audio. I've done this for two reasons:> > 1\. I'm more experienced in .NET.> > 2\. I had _serious_ problems with Java which just stopped development for a few days because I wasn't able to fix it.> > This is all I had to say referring to the language change.> **If you're going to come only to flame me about how you think Java is better than .NET or you think my decision is bad, please don't waste your time. I'll ignore you; this was my decision and I'm not going to change it.**> > Moving onto actual development of the game…> > We are pretty much at the same state we were with Java right now. We've got a main menu, we've got player movement, however one thing we didn't have before is a map system!> > > Maps work this way:> > - If you need a map, you will download it automatically from the server and save it.> > - If you already got your map, the client will check if there hasn't been any edits to it. In case there is, it will get them from the server, and save it.> > - They are pre-rendered to an off-screen texture and then that texture is rendered on the screen. This will help to not reduce FPS with big maps.> > That is all! I hope to have some more cool updates soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan for NPCs is there will be a big variety of AIs to use. I'll be programming the AIs server-side and McAdams is gonna be able to choose which AI to use for the NPC in the editor. This will hopefully make every single NPC monster unique, and of course, boss battles will be exciting.> > This system shouldn't take long and I'll update you guys with my progress…once I got something to show.

MCADAMS Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 So …... now that everybody's in college and we have less cluttered lives, Anadyr, Rapture and I have begun working on Aegis again, and I really do think we'll be able to devote enough time to it this time. The potential is there and I want to see through to it this time.~~I'm currently streaming my desktop as I work on skills thru Google docs, feel free to stop by, I'll be answering any questions about the game!~~~~www.twitch.tv/mfw_no_gf~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnPony Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I like your choice of XNA. I just switched over to it from SFML, and it's quite a nice framework.Item sheets look good, too. Are you going to have Ghostly write a parser to read in all of those documents, or are you going to manually transfer them into the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to have Ghostly write a parser to read in all of those documents, or are you going to manually transfer them into the game?I haven't talked to Ghostly in quite a bit, so Anadyr (John) is doing all the programming. It wouldn't be much of a bother adding all the recipes in by hand considering I know them by heart anyway, but I'm sure John could write something (like a parser, as you said) to do it for me.

MCADAMS Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Gonna go over how the Enchanting skill works in Aegis for those interested. If you're familiar with WoW's, it's very similar to that (I've taken a lot of inspiration from WoW for Aegis.)**Enchanting** uses reagents (materials for skills) gathered from destroying magic, rare, or epic items. Depending on the item level (power) of your item, you get certain types of dust, shards, and greater shards. Here's a quick reference:_18-37 = Magic reagents__38-47 = Mystic reagents__48-84 = Spirit reagents__85-109 = Miasmic reagents__110-156 = Astral reagents_There's 5 types of enchants; Weak, Minor, Greater, Major, and Super. As they increase in tier, you gain more power from your enchant. The tiers of enchants also require certain reagents:_Weak - Magic__Minor - Mystic__Greater - Spirit__Major - Miasmic__Super - Astral_Currently, Enchanting uses a bit of RNG to determine what items you get from a given disenchant. The RNG works as follows:_1-5 Dust = 20%__1-5 Dust + 1 Shard = 40%__1-5 Dust + 1-3 Shard + 1 Greater Shard = 25%__3-7 Dust + 1-5 Shard + 1-3 Greater Shard = 12%__5-10 Dust + 1-5 Shard + 1-5 Greater Shard = 3%_You can turn 5 Dust into a Shard, and 3 Shards into a Greater Shard. Greater Shards in turn can be turned into 15 Dust.Once you have the proper reagents and Enchanting level, you can enchant an item, be it a piece of armor or a weapon. There are currently **240** different enchants you can do! Many of the high level enchants are not learned when leveling up, but discovered through formulas off monster drops and dungeon loot.Here's an example, say I want to do the enchant **Enchant Boots - Super Attack Power. **The reagents for that enchant are 16 Astral Dust, 8 Astral Shard, and 2 Spite Essence. Once you have the ingredients, you can cast Enchant Boots - Super Attack Power from your Enchanting book, and you'll make a scroll that can be used on an appropiate item. Super Enchants can only be used on items that are item level 110 or higher.I hope this makes the Enchanting skill a little more clear. If you're interested in seeing all the Enchants, go to my free-to-view skills document and click the ENCHANTING tab.
