My Story

[Mike300444]

OK, So here's my story of my trip to other MMORPG makers that have things better, and much worse then eclipse, I will start with the things that they had that eclipse could have
One of them had 2 attribute layers, i thought that was kinda cool, you could put like a shop and a heal on the same tile.
that some one, could hold 2550 maps… that's allot more then eclipse... I think Eclipse could do that sometime...
On a different one, It Was 3-D... But I don't know how good that one worked, I didn't download it for the reason that it said on the info page that it was illegal to use...  :sad:
Then on a different one... it let you make your own Morals, like safe zone

Now i will say the things that make eclipse better then all the other ones

It has paperdoll... on all of the other ones it wouldn't even support it
It has Grappling hooks!
It has Lots of NPC stuff... all of the others had barely any sprites
It has Many Versions... The others had 1 version and looked unprofessional
(I could name more but you get the idea)
OH AND MOST IMPORTANT
It has a Forum with many tutorials, nice people, a script request, and much much more

So the top half are things that Eclipse could have.

(PS: did you guys authorize something called XtremeWorlds to use your tilesets?)

[Belmont]

the tilesets we use are from enterbrain, anyone can use them, thats also where xtremeworlds gets the tiles from

[Electrokinesis]

Eclipse has everything you mentioned but 3D.
You can make safe zones and such.
The 2 attributes thing can be done with scripted tiles. In fact, you can have as many attributes on a scripted tile as you want.
Plus, Eclipse can have as many maps as you can fit on your computer. (you just gotta know how)

We beat them all by far. (except the 3D thing)

[Admiral Refuge]

More maps can already be done, and the multi-attributes are being hardcoded into the system as we speak.

I can promise you that there is no other 2D mmorpgmaker better than Eclipse, currently

I smell ~~Politics~~ NOOBS COMING!

Nvm…...Inside joke

Anyway, eclipse is seriously better than any other 2d game engine.

lol… im not neutral :p

[Reguba]

Ya I have done some searching of my own and would have to say Eclipse takes the cake when it comes to customization/user friendliness, also can't forget the community.

[renzo]

technically, all engines are completely customizable with enough work

and ive tried a few of the other engines, they dont really seem all that different except that eclipse has like a hundred features already in it
they all seem to be equally as user friendly

but the point of eclipse is to give people that dont have a lot of knowledge to have the fun of developing a ORPG and thats what i like about it :)

[Khachaturian]

nope, hes lying, hes just trying to get more members to join so he can creep them

im jk, what he said was true… just so i dnt have some random guy flame me
