Sorry! Release date was delayed due to more stuff being added, quite some stuff revamped and even more. Check the Graal news or my signature to know when :D

2 more weeks, wtf z-z

It's all good, Soala. It'll be worth it!

3 more days, right?

yuh :)

still havent made my outfit

because of course, an outfit is the most important thing in the world, even more important than building the server itself...
I already told you, outfits will be made AFTER the release.

I'm pretty sure he was sort of kidding around.

I hope I can go without an outfit ;)

no i want it now omg :mad:

nudity won't be part of the server, you perv!

lol

if u make my outfit ruins will b best server :cool:

what about showing off your body? i mean like, muscles or no-muscles :p

I wanna be fat...I wont play if I can't be fat...

Can I play as a guido?

Psssh I don't wanna wave my ding dong at everyone sheesh :whatever:

I wanna run free as a bird and you can't do that without a lack of pants and t-shirt.

get a tatoo that says Ruins and put on a thong

hey furball, its 16th September and the server isn't open?
what's up with that?

they lied to us.

Yea, whats up with that, and where did angelu go!

Get your project management skills straight

mabe hes rushing my outfit right b4 release omg

It's beautiful, I love it!! Definately a one to watch in the future, keep up the great work! =D

Gorgeous. Doesn't even feel like Graal. Love the bg music. :)

Thank you guys, and my apologies for the late opening!
We are also sorry for the current lack of gameplay. All systems are undone, which is why there is basicly nothing to do apart from admiring our levels :)
I will let the server open and release new maps as they get finished. Systems shouldn't take long either to be done and offer actual gameplay to the server.

You can actualy read most of the server concept here

I think the overworld levels need to be redone without the pics1 detailing mentality, the tileset looks great itself you don't need to try and dress it up with two-tile tall grass and other random decoration. The cliff stairs blend in too much as well but that's really not all that important to change just a mention.

This really wasn't a preview (imo) at all and would of made more sense had you called it Pre-Opening II. I guess I was just expecting some actual gameplay this time around because of the two-week postponement.

I thought we would be able to finish everything planned, but with school and all other things in life keeping my LAT, Axel my scripter and myself busy (I didn't start school yet but had 4 days of "exams" to apply for an internship at Microsoft's, I really lost a lot of time) we couldn't complete enough to offer some gameplay.
It honestly shouldn't take long before we can do so.

Meh... Doesn't feel like Graal more look a more user friendly version of NexusTK or something alike.

Looks nice, don't get me wrong; but, I like when games handle like how the game was originally developed.

Graal is a flexible platform, if you can create a unified look for a server then why not. There is no reason to stay limited to the look of Graal.

I don't like it, I expected gameplay yet there was none. Not impressed at the moment...

Whats done is done I guess but this is an all too common trend I've noticed with you, adjust your ETAs when your time-line affecting RL stuff happens.

Never said you couldn't. I stated that I personally like the original Graal gameplay.

Just don't set dates before everything is finished because all you're doing is setting yourself up for complaints when you don't deliver. Announce a preview when you're ready to have a preview.

Server looks pretty, btw.

I don't really anymore. I want something new :)

is it still open? i couldn't get on it yesterday :(

Still open at the moment.

okey :)
lets hope it's open a few more hours, 'till i get home.

I told you guys, I'm letting it open for you to come on whenever you want, and will link new maps as they get done, so don't worry about it being open or not ^^

Ruins is currently hiring:

• 1 Scripter
• 1 Graphic Artist
• 2 Gani artists, experienced with particles.
  
• (Optional) 1 Level Designer

If you wish to apply, you know how it rolls: nickname, past experiences, why you would like to apply, some examples of your work, and send it all by forum pm or to [email protected]

Also, congratulations to Lourne, successfully making it to Level Designer! Considering I have been hard on judging levels, he's the only one (out of 5 applicants) who amazed me by correctly using our tilesets and showing a clear talent at detailling levels the way I want them. He's very active and joyful. Congratulations again!

I can level design if you want me. I can do whatever you ask me to do cause I got a lot of experience.
