Introducing Project Amethyst
21 Dec 2014
Alright, so this is my first post about this.
I've posted a few on Enjin, but I felt it might be a good idea to start posting stuff here instead.
Anyway, Project Amethyst (working title) is my attempt at making a standalone platform specifically designed for roleplay.
Servers get pretty much full customisation over what goes on in the world, how it looks, how players interact with each other, etc.
So far, I've done:
- A login system (which needs a little redoing)
- Sending object types from the server to clients (with some object scripting in Python, Ruby or JavaScript, your choice.)
- Sending tiles from the server to clients
- Movement
- Partial support for character sprite switching
- Chat system (with channels, both radius-based and global, with different mechanics and UIs for each)
I'm hoping this will become the go-to choice for roleplay communities - it should be expandable enough to allow for whatever environment you want. Once I have something I'm relatively happy with, I'll release some initial builds so that I can get some feedback from you as to what you want to see.
Here's a quick gif of the client in action so far (this won't be the default art for too long, just waiting on artists, so we'll have to make do with placeholders for now.):
