Oldschool Seafight Offline (new version)

[agagagagag]

Hello everyone

Today I wanted to reveal something I've been working on for the last 2 weeks (more time inside you know..).

I know someone else on this forum has done this before, but I've created a new Oldschool Seafight Offline with many improvements (correct movement, map zoom, overall quality of the graphics).

I want to know if there are someone here who is excited for this game, please let me know if you want to see this game come to reality, because I know many of you, don't like the new seafight. So I wanted to change that.

Movement gif:


As you can see, it's very similar to the real seafight, I've tried my best to make it as similar as possible.

I also want to know if anyone can help me with this project, because I am currently lacking a lot of assets, if anyone has assets to this game (oldschool seafight) that I can use please pm me or write in this thread. Thank you.

There is also a possibility for an online version to be released

If someone wants to moderate a discord server for me (make it pretty, etc..) that would also be awesome, since I'm not very good at that


Obviously I will release this to the public once I feel it's good enough for that (probably not that long). I just want to see if there's any hype for this to happen.

LETS SEE THE HYPEEEE

Incase you're paranoid, a simple Virustotal is added here to ensure you that I don't want to hack your pc... I would assume those 5 hits are because of the game being obfuscated.

Which game engine you used ?

[agagagagag]

I've used GorgonLib with VB.net, the code should be easily convertable to C# incase I need to scale it up, but currently the game runs very smooth. I'm using a specialized version of A* for the pathfinding, much like the "Retro Seafight" game, although mine actually looks the same as seafights movement. And GorgonLib provides a lot of functions for having a seperate view in a world, like how you see me moving the camera around, and drawing sprites etc..

But again, I need your help, as I'm lacking assets, and I was hoping someone could help me with the original font of players (and npcs), and aswell as the oldschool global map, you know, the scroll.. as I can't find this.

It's in the original post, but here also:
This also applies to those who want to be a Game Tester, most likely I will keep you updated through both this forum thread and on the discord, but if you want to talk directly to me, discord is the way. We currently have 1 tester in the discord channel.

If you want to see the old seafight come to life, join the discord or write in this thread, because I want to see as many as possible want this being made.

Also if there are features in the game you want added, there will be a suggestion channel on the server where you can add your suggestion, then we will have a team who will decide on whether this this will be added or not. (in the future..)

i loved old seafight
<3
good job bro<3

I'll be releasing Alpha version on Friday afternoon, I suggest joining the discord. It's easier for me to keep you updated on what I'm doing in this project, aswell as for you to download and try it out

I will also upload a version here

This release will contain:
- Simple combat
- NPCs (Wild 13 and Red Korsar is done now)
- 1 Map (this is because I want the foundation done before I start adding more maps)
- Variety of ammunition (not sure how many I can get done before Friday, but there will be a variety.)

Hope you look forward to it as much as me

Just wondering, how are you dealing with the legal stuff? As its +- a copy paste of Seafight and they could just sue you/take it down.

Currently I'm not doing anything in regards to the "legal stuff". I do have a plan if things go south from here though, in which case I'll make sure I don't get hurt in the process, even if it means going offline. Wouldn't be my fault if the game would be passed around after that though

I do want to say thanks for the heads up, good to stay prepared for things like that.

actually just a note in legal stand point of trademark.. The only real rights seafight has is the name. The npc and normal maps can not be copy righted because the scheme is too broad for example.

I create a map, in this map are box locations, each location is numbered and defined by level, then the design of the each individual map the area you play within.

My design is only copyrighted by the exact design. so if you were to change location of islands and what the island looks like, it is not the same.

Same as a song, you have a basic tune and you create it but unless another person uses that exact tune it is not copyrighted or Trademarked protected.

So at a legal stand point just change the actual images that define the areas, No one can copyright a square...

By the way good luck, I remember those days.. long time ago.. I will keep an eye on you, If you need any actual documentation let me know but need to be specific on what part and area they are saying you are infringing on.. In advance it would be very hard for them to when and copyright case off ship names (ie.. korsar)

Perhaps add a virustotal link.

I really like it so far. I guess an online Version would generate a big hype (ofc when u have done more features). Good work
