Dwell - The Survival Sandbox ORPG (Colonies)

[marvi]

There are many things to point out, but I couldn't resist this one:

C++ my fucking arse.

Well, I found his blog here: http://jungletoe.com/

While I haven't found any code samples, some minor details (in particular in his change logs) were enough to convince me that he is using C++.

to bundle the last 2 posts ( hi marvi!)

The name is "Homestead: Settle and Survive" and it's written in C++ using libnoise and SFML.

His second post there mentions HnH as inspiration...

I'm going to clean this thread up.

Creating forum alts to rag on people or just stir shit up has been and always will be against the rules. That's as good of an excuse as any to prune unnecessary comments.

Wow man, the game is looking great. Hopefully you'll have a site up and running soon and you will see me some more, it's weird discussing your game on another games forums. I do have one issue though, I watched your most recent video and it showed that when you log off your character stays in the game, I'm just a little concerned about that making your character a bit too vulnerable. Playing HnH I was always a hermit and managed to never die from another player, don't you think that having your character stay stationary and visible in one spot the whole time you're offline will make it a bit too easy to get killed? An alternative would be significant defensive bonuses and maybe an automated combat response to anyone who wants to kill you in your sleep. Anywho, good luck with the game and I can't wait to try it out!

Thank you

I'll think about alternatives. I may make it so that you only will "sleep" if you have been in combat within the past hour or have killed someone within the past four days (or something similar). I'm open to ideas. I just don't want people to avoid combat and spam the teleportation.

Your character sprite reminds me of Pokemon for some reason.
