(this message is copied from my blog) So I took the lazy route and just committed the entire splice between the jam branch and the development branch all at once. It is exactly as terrible as you think it is, but I've been out of coding for 2 weeks, and I want to get some shit done. I'll pick through each piece one by one, by comparing the diffs from the develop branch to the current jam-merge branch. Those developers I met on Monday said they were impressed by my ability to manage a large codebase, but if they saw this I'd expect they'd probably take that back. And oh god it's been 3 weeks since I touched the main branch WTF?
The most recent stable build for Windows can be found here.
Tortuga is a 2D multiplayer JRPG featuring permadeath (deletion of a character upon death). The emphasis of this game is on multiplayer cooperation, exploration and customization. The game runs on customizable server software that can support up to 150 simultaneous players or more.
This game is inspired by classic 2D RPGs, as well as more modern sandbox MMOs. This project is currently independently created and funded, with the goal of creating a game that will engage user's imagination and inspire a large modding community.
