[RMVX] Duality Online - A revolutionary game being produced by DVX Studios

[Xzygon]

Updated the Development Topic! We're currently inputting all content from level 1 to level 50, and remapping everything. EVERYTHING, mind you. Vlad's almost done, and, although it's taken longer then expected, Beta IS inching its way forward.



Guys, how many of you hate static storylines in online games? How many of you don't feel accomplished when you kill a giant boss, because 50000 other people have killed that boss too? How many of you want updates on games that update more then glitches?

We do too. That's why we've come up with a new system for this game. We are going to have updates at scheduled times after the beta release. And guess what? We will be doing more then fixing glitches- Every single release will bring a new twist on the storyline. A fallen Angel terrorizing Deodent? An Ogre destroying a small forest village? Who knows! But what we do know is that there wont be a "Let's kill the main boss" scenario. Why? Because then he will die more then once! That doesn't make sense! Also, no enemy will be killed more then once without some explanation as to why. And bosses wont be single bosses, they will be more dynamic and creative, with a story behind them! No longer will you suffer through boring, repetitive quests, because story quests will actually involve STORY! Who would've thought? Monsters don't take little girls away from their homes for no reason, do they? It's stupid to think that an entire army can't kill a monster, but a single adventurer can, isn't it!? Of course! But it makes sense if a demon sent for the purpose of upsetting the angels is tormenting a town! Or a massive water dragon was created by a god to destroy a civilization he doesn't like, doesn't it?

So let's say we have a release. A monster is tormenting a town. Then two weeks later, we have an update, where a brave person lost his life to kill the monster, and now he has a grave in the town. See? The dynamic storyline will keep the game fresh!

"Wait, Zadorain! Wait, Xzygon! hasn't this idea already came out? You know, expansion packs?"

Yes and no. Most of the time, expansion packs add a NEW story to the game, not update the old one. The old story is still there, and you never want to go back to you're original town again, because there are no new scenarios. Everything is the same. Not to mention, how many games have you seen with more then 3, maybe 4, expansion packs? (Not including the Sims ) I don't think I've ever seen one with more then 4, ever. Duality Online, on the contrary, will have the storyline adapt every few weeks! Those aren't expansions, they're like new games entirely, only in the same setting!

Anways, I looked at it, and the UI looks a lot more professional then most RPG Maker Games. It's also pretty neat being an MMO and all, but it might be hard to keep up the pace.

Some stuff looks a bit bland though, like the mapping. The style isn't really consistent as far as I could see, and could be improved in various areas.

[IAMFORTE]

I agree with cozziekuns, you're mapping could use some work

I do like what you've done with most of it, is it an action battle system?

I'll keep my eyes on this one

[Xzygon]

Sorry about the mapping, we've actually recently revamped just about every single map shown. Some of the screenshots go back a few months, and I'm a bit too lazy to update. I'll get on better screenies later.

It's an action battle system, yeah.

Edit -- Fixed links.

[Xzygon]

Not sure if I'm not allowed to double post, sorry if it's against the rules, but I searched and couldn't find any rules on it.
Anyways,
If you haven't already, download Hamachi from https://secure.logmein.com/US/products/hamachi2/download.aspx , and join one of these networks : (If you're on more than one, you'll be kicked out of one)

No password for any of them.
To join, on the Hamachi Window, on the top bar there should be something that says Network.
Click it. Two options will show up.
Click the second option, Join an Existing Network.
For the network ID, put one of the 4 networks I already gave you.
Simple as that.

Remember, you MUST have Hamachi and have joined the network to play!

[IAMFORTE]

I'll try this out

[Xzygon]

Server's off until around 8 AM P.S.T.
Download links will stay up.

[Xzygon]

Bumpabump, updated main post with new screenies, looks much better now.
Server's down for awhile, waiting for Open Beta. Download links are down.

Looking rlly good.

[phillip1756]

where did u get the tilesets and visual armour and all that from?

[Xzygon]

Some of the armors were ripped from RTP, but many of the armors we have now were created custom (some based on RTP, some from scratch)
Tilesets, part RTP, part Mack, part custom.

[phillip1756]

nice
