It is still being programmed at this point.

Development Screenshots:









Default Graphics:
[sure, these graphics aren't exactly good, but I guess the main focus would be that you create your own.]




If you want all your animations to be 4 frame like this, just add the middle frame to the end.


My Own Words:

This is, from the looks of it, a great free 2D MMORPG Maker out there. It has soo many features, and you can make it so that you can program more features of your own. Also, it may seem, from the screenshots, that its on a 32x32 grid, but its not set to anything in particular. you may set it to be whatever you want, for use of 16x16 or something bigger like my graphics. Trust me, this is a great alternative to any game making engine. I am not affiliated with the dev team, I am just a big fan of this program. I made that logo up there though.

Dynamic Physics:

This is a rope ladder being swung around. its a 2D image in 3D space:



Novalis is the engine for people who cant program, yet can still make an MMORPG. SushiBox is for if you are a programmer, and you can download all of the libraries, and make applications yourself.

.....what?

.....yup

You got it, chief.

Looks really good, I'll be looking forward to the Linux version.

This looks pretty good. I second the motion for a UNIX build, though; much nicer to develop on.

I'll try it tonight.
