                                                          .: H M S Productions presents:.
                                            darkRedemption: a 2d Fantasy MMORPG

**Storyline:** 143 Years ago, the Chancellorship of Illynhaer declared war on the neighboring country of Amherst. Bloody, and long, both sides fought a bitter conflict that lasted till but 6 months prior, when newly-elected Chancellor Meehan ushered in a new age. He immediately made peace with the King of Amherst, and brought to Illynhaer a much-needed relief, and an age of prosperity. You are a soldier, who has been in recovery in the Aelborough General Hospital: a veterans' first stop on their reintegration into society or to the millitary.
Your path: Your choice.

Well, that's it in a nutshell: You start off in Aelborough, in a hospital, and you can immediately leave town and try your luck, or you can stay around, recover some more, and (learn how to play).

Features (Current): Gender - Specific Custom Characters
Smooth, 3 - Animation Walking
Player Cards (You can see another players' Level, stats, and class, and later on, once hardcoded, you will see the armor, etc. they are wearing.
Fast Travel system between towns. (It's scripted already, I just need to add it once we have > 2 towns ^^;;  )
Gender Specific Equipment. (Thanks Unnown!)
Monsters with HP > 32767
Weapons that use different stats in the damage formula. (This one will mean class specific weapons)

To Be Added:
Suggestions are always welcome.

Hi,
Nice work :P
Have you placed the train thingy open-source? I would love to use it, and of course, give you credits.

It's a script using NPCs. If you want, I could write it out in the script section.

Bump: Thanks to unnown again, I now have different weapon types, and separate damage formulas for each.

That was the last planned major source edit. I will now be more focusing on mapping, but I am still looking at ways to make the game unique and interesting. This game is going places people: It's been 3 weeks and I have all the planned source edits complete.

huge bump!
