My New Transformers MMORPG...

[Joseph DiPerla]

Hey guys, its not an adventure game, but it is a game release of mine. I just wanted you all to see it and tell me what you think. It is based on Hasbro/Takara's Transformers cartoon/comic/movie/toy series.

Here is the news I posted:

Thats right! Its been released! Go here http://www.energon-plant.com/Webpages/rpghome.php and click on download.

Please note that you need ODBC drivers 3.51 to run this game.So if you dont have it, follow the download link to get it.

Keep in mind that this is just a pre-release, or BETA version of the game. In other words, once you create the player character, dont get to used to it becouse I am gonna be resetting the game world. I am just trying to get an idea of what you guys think of it.

Before signing up, please read the rules on this.

Here are some features:
*Registering your character
*Logging in.
*Searching/Viewing/Editing your profile and other character profiles
*Hiding/unhiding your player profile and info
*Sending messages to other players
*Viewing who is online and who is registered to the game.
*Leaving/Joining a faction.
*Viewing Tech Specs
*Viewing your messages and deleting them
*While sending messages, you can send anonymous messages
*You can reply and forward messages
*You can transform
*You can view IC/OOC news
* And some other cool stuff.

If there are problems, please remember that this is a BETA version. Infact, I am looking for you guys to find the bugs and keep in mind that all the rules are not set in stone. I am basically trying to mimic http://www.swcombine.com . It is thanks to their inspiration that I am developing this game.

If you have any praise/insult or suggestions/bugs, please post it on the energon-plant forum in the appropriate place.

Let me know what you guys think...

Is there an actual gameplay? Seems like all you can do is fiddle with some settings.

Right now the main part to this game is Roleplaying on the boards. And for now, the program acts as a way of keeping track of statistics and such. As the game evolves, you will be able to do more such as building facilities, battling NPC's, Flying and travelling to other planets.

Currently it does support a few functions, but not much. I am programming this on my own right now and making the rules up on my own.

The best way to describe this game is: Evolving Forum MMORPG/Graphical MUD.

Any screenshots or anything? Any graphics at all?

These are early screenshots. To get a good idea of how the game is gonna be, look at this page from the star wars combine: http://www.swcombine.com/community/features.php

Ok, I just updated the program. Here is what I posted on the site:

I just updated the program again. Just goto the download page and get it. For those who are downloading this for the first time, you should download Version 0.02 and replace it with 0.03 or else the game wont work.

Here are some changes:

*Bug fixes galore... Should be fewer crashes. Although the speed is still the same.
*A slight redesign thats probably not noticable.
*You can now view the Matrix capabilities of your character.
*You can now view your NPC's if you have any.
*All features not yet programmed into the game have been disabled on the menu...
Enjoy and tell me what you think so far...
