Backstory
Back in late 2003, I, Orthone, started playing BYOND. I had tried my hand at scripting, but due to being young, couldn't learn how to script very well. I failed miserably. I looked back at the program after seeing some videos about a BYOND game called 'NEStalgia'. I had the thought to try my hand at scripting again, and asked one of my friends if he wanted to try to design some 2D art for me. He goes ahead and accepts, and I later find out that he actually wants to be designing for games as a future career. He started getting used to the program, and is now developing decent-quality icons as seen in some screenshots under his portfolio below. The whole reason I'm posting this here, is because I'm up for suggestions on what to improve on, and would like to find a community of players who would be willing to beat up my poor, innocent game untill it is tough enough to stand up to the, mostly flawless, Indie games. Another reason, is that I find enjoyment out of scripting, and watching people enjoy things that I have created.

Storyline
None yet, I actually haven't planned this part out. I've been more focused on teaching Sham how to use the program, and de-rusting my scripting ability. I haven't done it in a while.

Classes
Saber - Up close, short swords, decent health, high defense and attack.
Lancer - Super fast, 2 square attacks.
Berserker - Super high everything, except speed.
Archer - Detect invisible, long range.
Caster - Magic, healing.
*Rider - Summon creatures to aid in battle.
*Assassin - Stealth, backstab, small-range teleports.

*Most likely going to be a bought bonus class. One time payment of about $5-10 USD for a package of small benefits.

Planned
-No compiled list of planned systems.

Trivia
-'Bug' was the first mob, his icon is a gray player, initially used for drawing clothing onto the body for the player icon. Won't appear in any testing, other than between me and Sham.
-Orthone has jokingly fired Shamwava 16 times since beginning this project, due to Shamwava being a slacker. (Updated: 04/13/11)

if its as sucessful as ss13
i'll be playing all the time

Suggestion: add a complex avatar system, and try to make the character adorable or simple

A little more information on what you plan on making would be nice, if it's one thing I'm good at, it's coming up with extremely unique ideas.

I call testing!

i call testing as well.
Looks nice so far!

You don't need to call for testing. When I want players to bug-test what I have, I'll put up a download in the OP that'll link straight to my game. You won't need to download BYOND or create an account.

I've always wanted to play an online game similar to Animal Crossing. And I'd like to test as well.

smoke some tweed infront of the cops.

Wait, is this for Atari 2600?

Wow. People are actually interested. Who knew?

Wait, is this for Atari 2600?
Wait, are you a graphics cigarette?

Bolded is not quite correct.

Ss13 is the most succesful game on the BYOND engine.

Ss13 is the most succesful game on the BYOND engine.

Bold is incorrect.

You won't need to download BYOND, because I'm going to include it in the game package. It will have an .exe to run the game.

SS13 is NOT the most successful game. See NEStalgia, Feval, or Seika (Teridal as it's called now.)

I take back anything I will say that's insulting towards Orthone. I actually want to see and play this as it looks really awesome
