[RELEASED] 3079! A futuristic open-world action RPG

Status Update:



Game is undergoing private testing and improvements. It is “functionaly complete”.



I’m polishing up a few things, killing some bugs. Fog effects, sound effects etc. are all now implemented. I’m looking into improving lighting a bit (softening up the lights).



I’m trying to figure out how to distribute it – I would like to sell it for a few bucks either on Steam or BMT Micro. I also would like to do a “demo” version anyone could play to test it out.



I also hope it improves jMonkeyEngine’s (and Java’s) exposure for making games :smiley:

Sounds great man. You know you have some trustworthy beta testers here if you need’em :slight_smile:



Also, don’t forget about Desura on IndieDB.com, the “new Steam” specifically for indies.

Thanks for the tip – I will check it out.



I’d love to have you guys test it out (and I plan on it) – but I want to get it a bit more polished first.



OK… time to get in a little coding while my 5 day old son naps @ 2:13am… :smiley:

OK, think I’m about ready to do some private beta testing with some folks.



Who wants a copy to play around with? I’ll only pick 1-2 for now…

Hey there,



you want to test out ceratain things or just some ppl here playing around with it and giving you some feedback?

Usually you get a lot better testing results if you tell you testers what to look for and to try out.



Cheers

I like any kind of constructive feedback, really. General impression of the game - what they did or didn’t like. However, if I did ask for something specific: balance. There are lots of statistics / items etc. Does it all feel balanced? Even in later levels?



Anyway, thanks @caesar for the tip.



EDIT: Beta tester request here: http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/groups/user-code-projects/forum/topic/beta-testers-wanted-3079-open-world-fully-featured-action-rpg/

Status Update:



Beta testing is going good – improving polish and getting a few things fixed (had a shader error, whoops!)



I need to start working on a webpage – it will likely be here: http://sites.google.com/site/3079game/



@erlend_sh: I checked out Desura, which looks really promising for Windows (and maybe linux?) – but I’m a bit bummed there doesn’t appear to be a Mac client :slight_smile:

New video!

very nice, but why everybody makes games like minecraft?

Cause you do not need model art and can change the whole world inside the game :wink:

And at that level, there are really only four types of games:

-Super Mario clones

-Civ clones

-Doom/Quake clones

-Minecraft clones (which are borderline simplified Quake clones)

true, true, true

maybe i can help you with your game ;p

Thanks for havin’ my back @pspeed & @normen 8)



3079 took some parts from some great games (like Minecraft & Fallout), some parts from my prequels 3059 & 3069, some parts from Just Cause 2 (I loved the grappling hook!) and some new parts of my own :slight_smile: At any rate, I assure you the gameplay is very, very different from Minecraft!



Status Update:



BETA testing is wrapping up – I’m working on my website and with BMT Micro to start selling soon! The game’s first public release is virtually complete :slight_smile:

Man, that looks awesome! I can’t wait till you release a playable copy!

I’m planning on releasing it this week – the game itself is ready for release. I’m just cleaning up the installer – I want a single file to install on Windows, Linux and Mac (so people can buy one copy, and then install it on different machines they own without needing another installer) :slight_smile:

@pspeed: i create similar game to diablo 2 / 3. and btw there are much more ideas for games(someone(i mean bigger team) should do big competition to EVE at least :))





about why there are only few types of games?



Becouse people play mostly known mixes of games

My point was that if you start lumping games so genericly as to say every block game is "just like minecraft" then there ends up only being 4 category of game. After all, space sims are just Quake with space ships. ;)

Oh, and Diablo is just Quake with a fixed angle camera. :wink: :wink: :wink:

3079 has been released – including a demo!



Check it out @ http://3079.phr00t.com/
