Creations - A Multi-Player Building Game

[Wizered67]

Introduction:

Creations is a 2D build-and-destroy game created with RMXP. Players are able to build structures while interacting with each other. Players are also able to create kingdoms in order to claim a map. Kingdoms can be used in many ways, and it's up to the players whether they will create a simple trade route, or make an empire and claim the world. If 2 kingdoms want the same land, they can challenge each other to a battle for the land. The entire world is in the hands of the players. Peaceful or violent, mining or farming, good or evil, the choice is yours.


Gameplay:
The style of gameplay will be similar to Minecraft. You will be able to place tiles, break them, and interact with some. So far, only a few decorative tiles and doors, chests, and signs have actually been added. This is definitely a work in progress so far.


Features:
Green means completed, yellow means in progress, and red means not started. There may still be some issues even if completed.

• Basic Building

• Basic Destroying

• Basic HUD

• Global Maps

• Interactive Tiles

• Crafting

• Battle System

• On-map Menus

• Kingdoms

Known Issues

• Problems with multiple players building at the same time

• Lag at times

• Risk of data corruption

• Issues with moving events

• No battle system, little content

Thanks for the support. If you want, I'll send you the game when I do the first open tests in the next week or two.

For anyone interested, I will be releasing a test version next Thursday to anyone that signs up for testing. Just post here or message me if you want to help test. So far about 15 people have signed up.

Oh, and here are some screenshots of a city built in Creations.

A test version was released to help me find and eliminate any issues as well as give everyone a taste of the gameplay. Let me know if you want a copy!

Is the new version going to be out soon? I can't join because my client is out of date.

Time for an update! I'll be gone for a week and a half after today, but I thought I'd whip something up for Creations first. Here it is, the voting board. Essentially the voting board allows players to vote on important decisions in game, such as electing officials, deciding who to go to war with, and much more.

Here's a video demonstration:

I've made some significant progress in the last couple days after a period of inactivity. I've added:

Basic Trees

Spoiler

Trees will play a large role in getting wood, which is crucial for development of towns and cities. Eventually, specific maps will be "forests" and generate lots of trees.

Paths and Roads

Spoiler

Basic, yet extremely important for guiding others or yourself to a specific location. Players will be highly encouraged to use roads.

New Destruction and Building

Spoiler

Building and destroying can now be done from a distance, as well as tiles taking multiple hits to destroy. Tools will be coming soon to speed up this process. As seen in the screenshot, tiles have a defined amount of "hit points" to destroy, which are saved globally. Because of this, you can start destroying a tile and come back later to finish with its hit points retained. Additionally, 2 people hitting a tile would literally destroy it twice as fast, making team work possible for mining operations.

See this for the full list of updates.
