NEWS - Retro seafight (private server), new thread on purpose.

[poczatki]

Hello guys,

I'm BlueMagic - creator of Retro Seafight (or RSF in short). I may be know as ◄──Retro▪Seafight▪Team──► but since that account was created to let me and Mike (aka War-Sloop) use the same account to talk with ya and I'm currently alone I'll use my original account (sorry for kind of messy situation here).

Since I don't want to ask for reopening previous RSF Server related topic (it got messy with plenty of posts which are no longer true but noone would delete / edit them) I'm just making this short *cough* announcement about RSF.

Most of you probably heard that RSF development got frozen due another game being in development but since whole team abandoned the idea of another game (just lazy people, ugh) I came back and I was working in disguise on RSF since late august (still it was mostly, planning, paper work, some pre-coding of client-based elements and mostly learning my coding language, nothing extraordinary). There is no playable version available for now but I'm planning that it should be ready before end of november (maybe earlier, maybe later, who knows).

Since I was trying plenty of methods to gather all RSF fans in one place and noone of previous ended up in success (e.g. fanpage, group, board) now I'm trying again using Discord which is *imho* really cool.

So, in conclusion - join us on RSF discord server which will be used to post news, q&a, gathering feedback or just let you send directly your ideas for game improvement. Text part of the server is ENG only so please stay aware of that.

Here is an invitation link:
Hope many of you will actually join!

Greetings.

TL;DR for lazy lads and gents

 Spoiler

I've created discord server for RSF fans. Join using this link: . ENG only. First playable version available before november ends.

UPDATE: 02.12.16

 Spoiler

Since people are spamming requesting for release date and exact list of changes since september game development goes underground and I won't post updates on discord anymore excluding milestones.

Yes, november ended and there's still no playable version but I decided I'll share my work AFTER it's in good shape. Haters gonna hate.

And to fellow comrades, sorry for inconveniences.

UPDATE: 14.06.17

 Spoiler

Quick update with some juicy screenshots:

UPDATE: 04.08.17

 Spoiler

Server is still in development and date of official start is UNKNOWN.

For now our goal is closed alpha this year (Im trying to make it happen this summer but chances are very low).

This is our current test-plan:

We are here --> QA Tests --> Closed Alpha --> QA Tests --> Closed Beta --> QA Tests --> Open Beta --> QA Tests --> Official Start

There will be many bumps and obstacles on the way so take everything with a grain of salt. Everything can change.

Hey Goldy,

Glad to see that you are still following project news!
Sadly I have to admit that both QA team and me decided I should rewrite game code - basically 'cause previously RSF was just an offline version (literally just offline version remake) with "online addon" with plenty of offline leftovers and overall source code chaos. Some of leftovers were there since 2013 when Mike (War-Sloop) and I were working together.

In short, there is almost nothing to see sadly - only basic client components which aren't server sided and chat (which is pretty much finished for now) but I must say that I'm really glad that I decided to rewrite game code. It may take a while to achive previous RSF releases functionality but I guarantee that 'cause of this overall development process should be much more efficient and easy to maintain!

I'm planning plenty of changes in game concept (which you may previously know as just retro seafight therefore, I prefer to call it "RSF: Rebirth")

As simple as it may look like this is it (more stuff is happening behind the scenes tbh):

 Spoiler

Hope this won't leave you disappointed.
Greetings.

This is good

@Gamer#8982 (discord username, sadly he left so I couldn't respond in time) the point of this announcement and discord server is to gather RSF fans earlier so people are up to date with news and can provide feedback before I develop things (for example pathfinding. Does people prefer 4 dir, 8 dir or free movement ?). Epvp "Seafight" part of the forum isn't about RSF and only one thread there isn't enough to keep things clean and easy to maintain.

Hey guys,

Just a quick update.
If you want to have direct impact on game development consider joining to our discord server. I've asked RSF community for help, in this case:

There will be more questions in the future but I won't repost them here.

Greetings.

Congratulations friend, excellent project. I can not wait to be able to play: D
