I know I've posted this game here before. Many improvements have since been implemented. The old thread was also from quite a bit of time ago (over 1 year), so I decided to create a new one. (I'm hoping that's within the rules of the forum, if not, let me know please!)

Animal Forest is a role-play enforced 2D MORPG. Which basically means all out of character chat must be done in OOC (Out of Character) channels and all in-character chat must be kept in the non OOC methods of communication. Even though your character is anthropomorphic, your character has no idea what a computer is. You only know what is in the game world. I ask that you be creative. I've seen people go so far as creating religions and cults in the game.

Basically Animal Forest is like other typical MORPG's in the sense of the stat system. One difference though is that Animal Forest has no NPC's (Minus the teachers in The Hall. The Hall is the safe zone of the game where new players spawn. The only interaction those NPC's have though is that they teach your character skills). The game is almost completely player run outside of The Hall. Combat is purely Player vs Player. You also don't die when your health reaches 0, you are knocked out for a period of time. During this time, other players can loot your items. There are 77 Skills to learn in Animal Forest. Skills such as languages, combat skills (armed and unarmed), crafting skills, and even skills to increase your effectiveness at climbing trees.

I don't want to go into too much details as the Readme/Help link is below.

Fair warning: Due to the no NPC things, without the players, the game is a little boring!

Animal Forest is also looking for a couple moderators as well. If you wish you apply, apply at the Animal Forest forums.

Hello
This game have very big potential, innovative idea about Animals MMORPG.
It has bunch of skills and quite big world to explore.
I wish it could have more players.

[Buzzyboy]

I admit the player base could use a boost. *hint*!

[Buzzyboy]

not sure if spambot, human advertiser, or genuine person.

I'm a genuine person! :O
This is my indie game I've been developing for quite some time.

[Ozyton]

He's a real person, I remember from last year. Unfortunate that there's not many people playing though...

Agreed. Together we can change that though! I would love some fans.

Theres only a jar file in the folder, how do I run this? Already tried java.

If you have java installed, you should be able to run the jar file itself. If you're having issues, put this in a .bat file in the same file as the jar file and run it.

Code: [Select]

javaw -jar Client.jar

If that doesn't work, put this code into the .bat file and tell me what the output is:

Code: [Select]

javaw -jar Client.jar
pause

Oh yeah, I remember seeing this a while back. Good to see it's still being worked on

Yeah. I took quite the break on it. But I've been adding some great improvements to it since you've probably last seen it.

Especially the map loading. Improved map loading speed by 1000%!


I'd love peoples ideas on how I could get the word out. This game isn't too much fun with at least the very minimum a small player base. I'm a great programmer, but bad advertiser.

Find that Alex guy.

Also make a EXE that launches jar *hintHINT*

An exe would make it non operational on Mac and Linux.

I s'pose I could still make it though.

[penguinofhonor]

I remember this game from before. It seemed like there wasn't anything to do, but I did create a character named Tamingof the Shrew so I consider my time well spent.

[Buzzyboy]

Added the EXE link.

There probably wasn't much to do due to lack of players.

[majikero]

How do you run this? It keeps saying "main file can't be found".
