Screenshots?

All games need screenshots. If a site doesn't have any for their game I always feel like they are trying to hide something... which most of the time they are.

attilio · May 2006

ok, it's just because were very busy. I'll put some on now for you though

Theely · May 2006

No problem. Its just a nice thing to see. Thank you.

I understand you want to see graphics. but you could always just press the "play" button...it is after all a flash game, and it plays in your browser...heck it took 2 seconds to load on my comp ^_^.

It's not an attack on the OP or anything. I just think that if you want to promote the game in any way that you should have some screenies.

I also just clicked play and let it load. I just feel that its a nice touch for a game's site to have screens of their game.

[quote][center]Why become a member?

If you really enjoy the free game or just want to help the game improve members is right for you! With a members account you will have a cool yellow members tag under your name and you will have access
to the whole of TBA including the new magical world we are currently creating. Everything you cannot
do with the free account is available to the members. Remember your not just helping yourself by
becoming a member but your helping the TBA team improve the game and open up new servers and
areas for you to explore.

So what are you waiting for? Signup here[/quote][/center]
So the free portion of the game is free rest is membership? Hmmm...
Game seems to be competing with Runescape (in a year or two), so unless you REALLY like Runescape you wont find much in this "mmorpg".

hey, I appreciate your view but maybe you could help us with some 'constructive' critisicm rather than in essence a message that is saying: this game is crap

Hardtuner · May 2006

decent game for flash anyway:) but not really my style and its way too empty and still a little buggy eg all these pizzas turned up out of no where and as for the quests it dident tell you what to do or anything o well good try, and try advertise it a bit more so you can get more people playing it:)

Most of the game is crap (if 80:s nintento-rpg:s have a bigger combat system & better art direction its not a good sign). This game is in alpha (that might be stretching it), noway near beta-status.

I really dislike the "hey its free" but when you go to the site you can read there is a free portion of the game then there is a payed membership option that allows to play exlusive content (to "support" the game, well its more of donating money because members dont earn anything on "supporting" you).

For flash-mmorpg:s you competition is Dofus-online, check out their game & notice the massive differences (altough your game wont have wierd grammar & odd translations).

The movement & combat is laughable (I did laugh actually), basically I cant find anything good except that it is actually made in flash. Sliding slowly over a flat ground to see a 2-frame animation kill a rat (is this a tribute to UO & Everquest 1 where you nedeed to kill rats to level up?) was just hilarious. Maybe the entire game is a tribute to "Eye of the beholder"-rpg series from the 80:s (altough that game had much better graphics) since thats one of the few games that used such a clumsy & crude inventory-system management.

I expect the "we are a small team we do our best"-excuse to pop up sooner or later, I dont care there is a reason why you decided to make a mmorpg & you know what competition there is out there (well I hope you do).
The "its free"-excuse does excuse some portions of the game but in its current stat I can only agree its a "test", there is nothing fun about it or hardly anything to test.

I am thinking the team nedeed/wanted money & this is the earliest stage of the game you could wait for showing.
(Did the team do a frontend-program for a MUD & decided it should be a stand-alone game? Or maybe a chat interface that was remade into a "rpg"?)

attilio · May 2006

ok, I have noted some of your suggestions, will see what we can do.
Just to let you know, we are a small team, but the idea was never to make money. It was simply a standalone game of which we made into a multiplayer version and we have learn't a lot from producing it which was our original goal.

Obviously you do not like the game, and to many people this is going to be the case. We do know what were up against and never intend to try and beat anything out there already, simply a mere 'if you like' desire to try to make it a success is all that drives me personally.

theanimedude · May 2006

Ok, whoever programmed your isometric engine was off by 1 number in their spacing calculation, or your tiles don't tile right... because the fences, ground, and everything else is off by 1 pixel.

When I created my first Isometric engine I had teh same problem, so i'm merely passing the info on to you.

OldKnight · May 2006

Listen I am helping him with the game and I am going to start on the fansite I do not people who critisize! other people's work I bet you could not have done somthing like (tba) ao everyone just give it a chance it has gotten better Yes anyone I need help on the fansite so please contact alltilio and say oldnight says you and til need help with fansite and He will contact me ok'z guys see you on the site laterz!

Austinsmilee · May 2006

I dont know what everyones deal is but I find the game rather enjoyable.... Sure the graphics arent the best but its a good time passer, personaly I dont like the new big 3D games like WoW, EQ2, DDO, ect. The game is great could use with more of a plot and more things too do but it is a great start of a good MMOG. You guys might also like to check out Eternal Lands (Eternal-lands.com) that is pretty good game a lot like TBA. Thanks for another good game guys!

Keep it up, Austin ( Austin is my account name on TBA too ;P )

So you decided to make one more thread in hopes of escaping critic? Yes thats very proffesional. I think we can stick with this thread since it was first & has more replys.

Dekron · May 2006

One thread about this is enough. Do not create multiple threads regarding the same topic. The other was deleted. This is the only warning.

Austinsmilee · June 2006

Flash MMORPGs never are really fun. They get boring fast.

Hey austin, Sorry I don't think there is any progress with the fansite. Could I just rectify your definition of one to check were on the same note here- From what I know fansites are made by the people who like the game? not by the people who made it?

godlymmo · June 2006

Hey, I give you credit, cool concept.

Tryggvi · July 2006

This is a really cool game so far. I like it more than Silkroad and Maplestory. The only thing is I don't see anyone.

KragenOfHell · July 2006

I'll give it a 7/10. I don't really like the Graphics. I've read the site and I'm not interested. If I hear otherwise someday, then I'll go play.
