Plan for Josh Ritter

by Prairie Games · 09/05/2005 (9:15 pm) · 3 comments

I've been working on the frontend of the game. We're also preparing a Demo Version. The demo version will be loaded with pop-up feature windows letting you know that you get this, that, and the other thing by buying the full version.

The Demo Version will have:

+3 zones (when you try and go to a zone which isn't included, a pop-up with nice screenshots of zones and marketing text)

+ Human, Drakken, and Halfling playable races (other races are viewable, but you can't select them... see the screenshot below)

+ "Fellowship of Light" Realm. The "Minions of Darkness" realm isn't included. (pop-up with screenshots and features of this realm. This includes additional races and classes (Dark Elf, Assassin, Necromancer, etc)

+ Level 20 experience cap (another pop-up explaining the leveling/multiclass system... example shots of nifty spells, spawns, etc)

+ Limited to Demo Servers in multiplayer

+ A limited selection of the 2 hours of game music

... and of course a big "BUY NOW!!!" button on every feature pop-up :)

Our latest patch note:

That looks like a good plan for the demo version.

That Gui looks new... and very nice too, great stuff.

Oh, and thanks to Tim Aste for the neato background texture. If I was more of a Gimp user, I could have done so much more with it! ;)
