Doragon Koden: See inside thread.

warp2ukew · #1 10-11-2006, 02:51 AM

Many of you older players remember as server, Doragon Koden. This server was, and is, owned by G_Yoshi. At the time, it was one of the highest anticipated servers on Graal, along with Oasis and Graal2230. Those are long gone, DK is not.

After being stagnant for a number of months (yes, you all thought it was dead for longer, I know), I have consulted with G_Yoshi, as have more members of the old team. We are going to continue DK with motivation, and a determination to succeed.

I am sure most of you have seen amazing thinks from DK, but it has been a lot of work for the team, and actually is a small percentage of a server. Due to the small team, it is hard to get so much done, when such effort is put into every single detail. Because of this, G_Yoshi, has decided to extend staff membership to you, level makers.

The level style is similar to that of Secret of Mana, and posted below is the level kit, which provides you with all of the tools you need for creating wonderful DK levels. We are looking for strong level makers, who can complete assignments on time, have determination, and won't quit on us in the middle of the road (weird phrase, I know). I knoiw many of you are talented, and some of you are working for servers that may not have much of a fate. DK's fate is to the server list, whether some of you agree with me or not.

The tryout:

We are looking for aptitude for working with scripted objects over tiles. Though this isn't an immediate requirement, this would greatly improve one's chances of getting on the team. Using the level kit below, create 2 house levels, and 2 outside levels, linked. Be creative with the kit, a lot of effort was put into it, and it can be used in more ways than you can imagine (no Googi, not for personal pleasure).

I urge you to tryout, the server is pretty, but mostly all that is given is verbal support. We need more people to make this happen, and we will succeed.

When you have done this, please email it, zipped, to the following:

[email protected]

The level kit can be found here:
http://home.earthlink.net/~skittles0...t-leveldev.zip

If you have any questions or comments, you can post here, and my AIM is "wow theres matt."

I look forward to talking with some of you and having the chance to work with some of you. If we get a good enough turnout for level makers, we may start hiring other areas (not as much needed)

Here are some (few months old) screenies, enjoy:

That really looks very cool to me. To me, it looks like a more cartoony version of Graal/Secret of Mana (like you said).

xXziroXx · #3 10-11-2006, 03:17 AM

Wow, this server looks cute! ^_^

G_yoshi · #4 10-11-2006, 03:47 AM

This just in!

Had to patch the level...seems it was using an old tile style that I changed.

See attachment below! The zip file will be updated a little later because my dialup sucks.

*Flash Edit!*
one more update...forgot to include the outdoor pre-fabs for cliff walls and stuff

That would require I call upon dark forces that would rip your very soul in order to bring it truely back from the dead

Short answer: no, because there's no real server space anymore

Lord Sephiroth · #7 10-11-2006, 04:17 AM

I vaguely remember the server. It peeked my interest before it kind of fizzled out.

If you need a server, I have one that I'm not currently using. I could help you out.

Infernix · #9 10-11-2006, 05:12 AM

This server is bleh to me...Earthbound was cartoony to me and this just looks ugly IMO....looks like your workin hard though.

warp2ukew · #10 10-11-2006, 05:21 AM

I'm sorry you think that

Perhaps you will like some of the things we have planned.

We now have a server, but G_Yoshi went to bed RIGHT when I was about to ask for his IP to set him up, so he cannot upload anything yet, and I'm about the hit the sack as well.

Will post more about playable content (if we choose to release any) at a later date. APPLY PEOPLE.

smirt362 · #11 10-11-2006, 08:14 AM

Is this the one I was talking about in the other thread where the goddess rains stones down upon the earth every x ammount of years?
Or am I loosing my mind?

"Doragon." Kekeke.

Stop putting words through a translator. (I don't care if you made the name or not. Just a comment to whoever did it.)

Tom · #14 10-11-2006, 12:45 PM

I really like the cartoony style, the one screenshot of the inside reminded me of Graal Kingdoms, the way the walls are done.

So damn cool

I was on the old team, I helped out before. If these are the type of comments you are going to post, please don't bother revisiting the thread.

Devil · #16 10-11-2006, 02:54 PM

Good to see a server is coming back.. or whatever. I really don't like the characters, but goodluck.

WanDaMan · #17 10-11-2006, 06:38 PM

I love this server. Please finish it!!

konidias · #18 10-11-2006, 07:40 PM

It's unique to Graal so I definitely give it a thumps up. I hope it finally gets finished. I know how it feels to not be able to finish up a project that I put a lot of work into.

Elk · #19 10-11-2006, 07:59 PM

Id probably play it

warp2ukew · #20 10-11-2006, 11:51 PM

Wan, we need your level making talents to help us! I'll probably send you an IM on AIM later :P

Thank you for the good comments so far. It is nice to see some of the developers giving support, like Koni, Elk, Wan, etc.

But this is also the problem, a lot of verbal support, but no one to actually help us, lol.

killerogue · #21 10-12-2006, 12:33 AM

I'll help. O_O

Yeah, its bad, but that's what I got when I played around with a Japanese<>English dictionary program I have. This has been the name for quite a long time. At least its...unique

Just because now not every post in the thread is praise and happy im suddenly not allowed to post? Hardly.

warp2ukew · #24 10-12-2006, 01:35 AM

Well since nothing you have to say is constructive, or helpful in any way, it would be best if you left.

Terrible attitude. Don't know what your beef is with him, but keep your personal crap private. The goal here is to find some more people that will help out, not throw mud at each other.

Im not really going anywhere though. I have lots constructive to say, but it would only be to G_Yoshi for all the work he has put in on this over the many many years.

btw: cool

Galdor · #28 10-12-2006, 05:43 PM

Hahaha! Omg! Finally something new Im tired of the servers with a recolored 8 years old tileset with nothing new added.

I secretly in secret do some secret ganis as well as secret levels with secret Graal programs I secretly got off the secret Graal site.....secretly.

warp2ukew · #30 10-17-2006, 12:17 AM

Current staff list (in no particular order, except G_Yoshi)

G_Yoshi
Joker (me)
Raelyn
Stan (Maybe? He hasn't logged on in a few days. Need to talk to you :P)
Suruku

Soon we will have a few demo levels for players to play, those should be done by the end of the week. We are still converting a lot of things to GS2, and a few towns are being created.

_Z3phyr_ · #31 10-17-2006, 12:44 AM

Yo staff of Doragon Koden:

Don't listen to those haters -- they're 바보s.

PS Please tell Suruku that I said "wtf man???"

Nice korean, lol.

Anyway I'm very hyped about Doragon Koden. About two years ago G_Yoshi gave me a sneak peak about what's to come, even back then it was very anticipating. I'm sure things will end up wonderfuly.

Well, the more slaves, I mean, people I get helping out, the faster things will get accomplished

And with that, some assistance with NPCs would be appreciated (preferably someone that is very skilled with GS2). Some stuff I went and coverted earlier this year in an effort to learn GS2 doesn't quite want to work and I'm getting too frustrated with it to be persistent.

MysticX2X · #34 10-17-2006, 04:20 AM

Yeah id love to see a cartoony type graal. I hope you guys are successful.

Weird, if I translated that into English from Norwegian it would be kinda weird:
Doragon The Code? Oh well, back to topic,

Nice idea, I would like to play it :P

It would be "The doragon code"...

I know, but if you said it "totally forward",
well, you're right xD wasn't thinking of that

syltburk · #38 10-17-2006, 07:46 PM

i've been waiting for yoshi to finnish this project ever since it started which was a few years ago now.

A few? Try over 5.

But yeah, quick question to G_Yoshi, are the things from this post still being used? Those are sexy.
