Description I held off updating this for a looong time, so - this is the current version of the Flash game I have been working on. And - it actually has a name now.
If you have been playing, you know about the updates anyway. If you haven't - well, now you know, as well!

New content and polish is always added, but since it's an ongoing process, I have to post it at some point, too. The current version should be pretty stable. So far, it has content until around level 30, far more than the handful of maps that I initially posted this on dA on.

To start: Pick any name, and hit "login" - if no one else picked it yet, it's yours. If you pick a password, it'll be used to protect your name.
Controls:
  • Arrows, WASD keys are used to move and jump. You can also click on a location with your mouse and your character will walk in that direction.
  • Click vendors, quest givers, and objects to interact with them.
  • Click other creatures to select them. You can press any ability hotkey (1, 2, 3, ...) to attack.


Of course, critiques are always appreciated. You can comment on the art style, the graphic effects, the writing and the technical aspects.
If anything's off, let me know. Credits (which are fairly long, by now) are posted at www.pawdgame.com/credits/.
We also have a website to play the game on (which is shorter, so scrolling in-game does not scroll the page) at www.pawdgame.com/play/.

A 2D adventure game, 12+ where your a wolf, fighting for the falling kingdom of Elyssia... choose from three ranks- Priest, mage, warrior (yum, yum, you can pick the rank 'hunter', but you need to unlock it at a higher level). If your bored, just play Paw'd! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="387" title=" (Wink)"/>

I just love this game, its amazing. Packed with adventure, you can explore through caves, tunnels, jungles, plains, forests endless snow, warm and delightful beaches- there's even a pyramid! There's so much fun, creative creatures, bosses and monsters, events (like on christmas, Easter, Valentines, etc.) and if you haven't you better try it!

This is super good, especially for a one person team! the art style is charming, reminiscent of early 200's warrior cat fanart, which makes it feel approachable and very appealing. The jumping, however, is rather unresponsive. It doesn't jump when you press up, there's a delay. I remember seeing a video somewhere about how to make controls feel tight, but I can't quite place it. I would suggest checking out Extra Credits on youtube. They're a good source of videos about game design theory. It's also hard to chose a marking in the character creation menu, as you have to keep randomizing until the cat has the markings you want. If there's a way to manually select the markings, I haven't found it. There's also a bit of inconsistency with the size of objects in the game world. Some objects are far too big for the avatar to reasonably be able to use. As I said before, what you have is very impressive! I'm sure the finished game will be great!

This game is amazing. The music is peaceful, and anyone can play it, young or old! Also, all the clothing items are incredible. It's just really fun to start killing things and playing with your friends! The game, music, fighting techniques, and watching this is very original and awesome to me. Also, don't even get me STARTED on the pets. They're so cute and smol! The pets, spiders, bluebells, and pretty much all the enemies (or monsters, if you want me to call it that) are incredible! You did all of this with Flash? I really can't believe that! The animation is very well done, too.

I only see a single support ticket from you, and it got resolved within the same evening still. Note that posting on my devArt page isn't guaranteed to get a (timely) response from me - I don't check here every day. Same goes for private mail - support tickets are tracked, so use those. ;3

Apart from that, if you 'feel like you got hacked', it would make sense to report that (properly, not by casually mentioning it in a comment), perhaps with a date. In your case it's easy: your account was accessed by no one else. All logins came from your household, so I don't know what you're on about. Same for 'a bit easy to be banned' - anyone who got an account closure was doing stuff that would get them banned everywhere else as well - and that's usually after going through all the lesser suspensions. Not that any of that applies to your account, so again, no idea what you're on about.

Thank you, but the problem i forgot to introduce to you is that you disabled my account because i was 8 or "under age" but when i created a new account and reported someones else who was under age you said they had parental permission.
I had parental permission as well but you didn't even ask me you just disabled my account.
(you also suspend and ban people for petty reasons like poor sportsman ship and asking people who "might" be able to level your rank because you're not where you're supposed to be)Β 
my accounts main is called Nana jr i believe if i can remember.

If they had their parents sign the form, they're allowed to play. Note that you stated that you are 8 in 2015, so you're 11 now - and hence not allowed to use DA as per their ToS.

And sure, I looked up your account. You lashed out at other players. Let me quote you:

"NEXT YEAR I WILL KILL YOU"
"SHUT UP PACK YOUR BAGS AND MOVE OUT EVERYBODY HATES U GO CRY IN A CORNER"

That got you a 5 day suspension for a repeated harassment offense (your first suspension was 24 hours, and for another insults case a few days before that one, you got a mere warning). So that's three strikes in a few days. There's nothing petty about it.

Here's what your warning read - the same thing still applies - someone like that simply isn't welcome:

Your general attitude is really hostile, too.Β You are getting ignored by people left and right, and seeing that I usually see maybe only one or two ignores every *three* months, that is raising a red flag with me.Β 
I have talked with the other moderators, and everyone there agrees you seriously need to calm down - so I would suggest you do so.Β 

And then you come back and tell people that you'll "kill them".

If you got suspended for "poor sportsmanship" then you went into CH and repeatedly logged out before being tagged. Nothing petty about that either. But let me quote a few things from you in PvP, to see how you act there:

"KEEP YOUR STUPID FLIFFY DEMON AWAY FROM ME WHEN IM DOING PVP GROUNDS"

Classy.

As for your account being deleted for being underage, the process is completely automated. It comes with a notice telling you to get your parents sign the form, and five reminders, if you let them all pass, your account gets frozen and purged of personal information. You specifically filed a ticket saying you're 8, so I don't know if that was a test or something, but if you were wondering if I do follow coppa, I suppose that got you your response.

You said AND I QUOTE "one week suspension" but you deleted my account?
That's either "merciless" or ,well i don't want to be rude because you are a higher authority than me but, you lied.
And its been 4 years now but ill be 13 in 2
(April 20)
But by then could you please give back my account, i don't want to have to start over again.
I worked hard to get to where i am and its pointless if its lost.
I've been attached to my 'rude nature' but I'm know too completely "LOOSE IT" when I feel I'm wronged, but i can be wrong but as i believe;
Tony Evans: "We must tell them time and time again right from wrong"
I may not be your child but everyone needs their discipline but i know you will get tired from doing that but do what you can.







I have been suicidal for many years but that's behind me but I'm usually mute and cut off from people.

tobyf In reply to nomnommy12 [2018-02-05 19:46:25 +0000 UTC]

You've received a one week suspension after repeated warnings.
You then filed a ticket from a second account, stating you're eight years old, at which point, as required by law, you were requested to submit verifiable proof of parental permission.
Which you didn't do, hence after the five reminders, it was frozen and, also as required by law, your personal information removed.
You're welcome to try filing a ticket at dA and state your age, and you'll see it's nothing I made up .

As for starting over again, you are not 13 yet (8 in 2015 -> 11 in 2018), hence you would still require parental permission.
However, given your history, and how aggressive you come across here, I would suggest you save us both the trouble and just move on. I have absolutely no inclination to support someone who lashes out at players, is ridiculously quick in dishing out strong accusations ("you lied") and affirms they're "attached" to "their rude nature" as a justification. I believe I have seen enough players to know what is normal and what isn't. The behaviour you exhibited in the game and here definitely isn't.

So, thanks but no thanks.

This game is one of the best games I have played so far, although I have a hard time killing some monsters, so usually i'm the weakest one when me and my friends are travelling, i'm a Priest, meaning that I know how to heal, I still have a long way to go, but learning is fun. Like I said earlier, the game is one of the best games. My username is Rose150 which is my DA username.

And even though priests aren't physically as strong, they're still important. Sure, a warrior can take more hits than a priest, and a mage can burn all the monsters, but they still need someone that has their back and keeps them alive.

Anyway, I'm usually on a little later, so if I happen to see you, I can always help out with quests if you need it (-is a priest too-).

Wow! This game is really fun! I really like the art style you used e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

But, I wasn't able to get some of the things in the tutorial. Maybe you can work on that? And when you're about to accapt a quest, the diolague just feels like... it kinda gets in the way a bit. Maybe you can have a RPG maker style diolague system? Maybe I just need to get used to it a bit. ANyways, great job, I'm inpressed that you
can fit a RPG style game into DA! I don't see that everyday e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="395" title=" (Lick)"/>

Thanks for your critique, I'm glad that you enjoy your time there. To be fair though -Β this game was always targeted at teens. There's a word filter (enabled by default), which comicfies the worst of the worst, and anyone pre-teen is required to have their parents sign a consent form , on which they are instructed that it's an online game that other people play at the same time.Β 


Myself and other volunteer moderators do monitor public chat, however we also do keep in mind that the game's aimed at teens (so anything you can hear in Spongebob and the like pretty much has to be okay ).

I really like this game so far, but I have one suggestion: I think it would improve the quality of the game play experience if the text could be slowed down a little, or if there was an option for adjusting the speed at which the text pushes old messages out of the box. It is a little hard to read the messages quickly when one's attention is divided between reading the text, watching the rest of the screen, and controlling a character.
Aside from that, the game is great! The art is beautiful, the story is intriguing, the music is wonderful, and I love the creatures you populated your fantasy world with. I really like this game, and I hope my suggestion was of some help.

Glad to hear you like the game. And sure, those changes aren't too difficult, but it's kind of hard to find the sweet spot.Β How long do you think the text should stay hovering around the characters? Right now, it's 4 seconds.


About the chat in the box - did you notice that you can scroll up in it? If not, what could have given you a clue that it's scrollable?

I'm glad you like the game and had a good time playing it.

I agree it's unfortunate, but still - looking through the log from back then I can't really see how this could have gone differently. That said, I don't think you are a bad person. Keep up the work on your own style - this can be an excellent passtime as well, and finding people that like your style is a great way to make friends, too (especially when it's in real life) - then you can draw together and the like.

Well, like you said, people move on - so that's pretty much what happens here as well. No matter what game you are playing, the moment you stop, everything else just moves on as before. Good to know you're doing better with self-control on your new MMOs. ^-^

I guess I'm very different here, since I don't really like ego-shooters a whole lot. I did like Half Life 1 (not its second part though, complex puzzles in a game where I want to smash stuff isn't quite my thing), and WoW is well thought out too. Actually, if you're into 3D and like MMOs, why not give WoW a shot? I think up until level 20 it's completely free ([link] - starter edition on the right), and if I recall right, that includes like 5 dungeons as well (Dead Mines, RFC, Wailing Caverns, Blackfathom Deeps and Shadowfang Keep for sure, and I think also the Stockade). If you scroll in all the way, it'll look just like a FPS.

This game is something special. I just love walking around and killing stuff. This game is for anyone young and old, packed with adventure, danger, and well I LOVE pets they are just amazing. So i think this is the game for every one. This IS my favorite flash on DeviantArt. I hope every one had as much fun as I did playing this game. And I'd hope to see a new shamanistic class. So please think about that. And maybe a rouge type thing. Hope You think about my ideas. Goodbye hope you liked this critique and I'll be playing this flash till it dies. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

Glad you like it! If you're on during the evening, try to find a good group to explore the dungeons with as well - especially if you want a challenge.


As for new classes, rogues definitely sound nice - having never played one, though, I am not that good with them to tell you how they would different to, say, a warrior with cloak. Same goes for shamans - I have a rough idea what they could do (like, using ghost based attacks, summoning spirits), but I'd have to know a looot more about shamanism if the class should make sense.
I do want to (eventually!) implement hunters though - while they are admittedly fairly generic classes, it should be easy to do, and give a lot of freedom when deciding what skills they could have. Plus, a long range physical attack class is still missing anyway (and I like the idea of having elemental arrows).

Anyhow, thanks for the critique - and hope you'll enjoy your time here!
