Zetolic (Ingame screenshots)

[Oni]

Last time I brought you something to do with Zetolic it was around 3 months ago with the simple space flying avatar chat http://www.zetolic.com/Client/ (http://www.zetolic.com/Client/). I repeatedly stressted it would be completely different to our real client but even I didnt know how different it would be. After I did some market research I was suprised to find that a large amount of MMOCC players are now girls, girls attracted by spaceships? I think not. So my plan changed, infact it changed time and time again and around 2 1/2 months ago I began developing at this time I can only call 'Zetolic 2.0'

'Zetolic 2.0' is something alittle different, its more imaginative than other MMOCCs, rather than being set in a city or town it is set in dreams. Ok that sounds wierd I know. Having 'dreams' allows us to have completely different environments and characters throughout the game for example you could have a nightmare full of monsters etc. This isnt one of those MMOCCs where the owner gets ahead of themselves, they plan things they cannot do. I can do this and I have. I bring you the first screenshots from the REAL zetolic client, these arent put together on a graphics program they are from our fully functioning client.

Wow, thats really good. Contact wait untill the BETA. +Rep

[Hxf Santa]

[Oni]

Hmmm im not sure who to offer BETA to first this forum or MMOCCforum, I think Ill probably go with this one.

[Hxf Santa]

The only problem is the maturity of this forums users (no offence implied). MMOCCs users are mostly late teens and adults so will be able to do some real bug testing and give alot more structured feedback. I may choose some of the maturer members of this forum and the rest from MMOCCforum, probably around 10 in total.

[Luckyrare]

Very nice. Very impressed with the market research and the developement of your findings.

How is your game data stored? MySQL?

Anyway - well done ;)

Maby ask people who have experience in BETA Testing? Cus they would know where to search for bugs ect.

[L!nK]

Hmm George its nice, you done good for yourself...

[Oni]

Anyway - well done ;)
Shamefully at the moment its all stored in password locked txt and .xml documents as there is no room editing etc at the moment, just public rooms. In the future however I will be using MySQL as its more secure etc.

Thanks everyone, at the moment I am pretty pleased with myself, ill take a short break for a few days as I have been working pretty much every day for the past 3 months.

[Luckyrare]

How does it go about saving/grabbing data? Via PHP?

[ScottDiamond.]

Nice. I'd be happy to help by finding criticism in everything.

It grabs the usernames and passwords from a seperate txt document. At the moment the usernames and passwords are added manually but before the BETA ill get colin to create a php signup system.

Scott I may actually contact you for the BETA and put your bluntless about everything to use.

[Jõnathan]

Lookin' good so far! :)

Make your own judgement.

[mousey]

I dread to think wha banwith this could get up to.

I would be happy to help find bugs if it is a flash client, from what i can see it is, as we all know im a flash devoloper in progress!
nice to meet a 'new' face.

HxF is the best place for beta testers aslong as ther mature enough.

Are you hoping to earn money in the future from this project?

My very best wish's

I hate how you act like a ''noob'' lets say in other threads, yet since you are wanting this role, you try to look professional. Your spelling is terrible.

[Oni]

What? I have been here since 2003???

Scott the reason colins asking this is because hes helping me with it and the version with those screenshots I havent uploaded to the server yet :)

OK. :)

[Oni]

I know im going to get loads of pms asking for jobs and tests of the client. If anyone does then I will simply IP ban you, end of.

They say they're adults but really they're much, MUCH younger.

[Colin-Roberts]

The Avaters still need faces. Before someone points that out.

[Oni]

They say they're adults but really they're much, MUCH younger.
Alot of them are but alot of them arent as most of them have jobs at MMOCCs where the applying criteria is 16 or 18+. They act more mature anyway.

[RichardKnox]

Fantastic job on this. The pixel art in those screenshots looks pretty well done, take it was professional? I take it has object collision interaction etc?

The amount of people on this forum that say they will start an MMOCC is quite high, but yours is the only one I have seen that has even begun development. Can you PM me your MSN as I may have a little business proposal for you.

The pixel art was professional yes :). Ill pm you my msn now although I may already have you im unsure.

[Colin-Roberts]

Proffesional Offcourse. I believe you can still walk threw eachother avaters.. But the rest as far as i know is done. Sitting has a know bug but it will be fixed before release.

[redtom]

Nice work ozzie, it seems every time you post about the game it changes alot, I carnt wait untill the BETA is out, goodluck with it.

Drop me a line if you want any more PHP help.

EDIT: Walking through each other is good as it will stop door blockers, if you have single doors like on Habbo

[Colin-Roberts]

There currently all dual doors but ye i see your point.. You can't stand on the same square tho. You can only walk threw it.

[Tomm]

Nice :) I would be happy to BETA test. If you need anything related to PHP/MySQL then just give me a shout and ill be more than happy to help.

[Invent]

Looks nice.

Only issue I'm thinking about is people decompiling the flash file and finding the source to the place where user info is kept?

[:Edzy]

Old News <3

Im probably going to embed it in director so they will have to decompile the shockwave (This is very hard I believe) and then decompile the flash.

Good to know & obviously it's hard or we would have thousands of copies of Habbo :P (Like a retro just with diff. graphics).

[Oni]

Moderator positions are now available in the website staff section.

decompiling the flash is easy, not the dcr tho :P

thats where BittyBay.com went wrong really.

[Dentafrice,]

WOW! Thats all I can say.

Thats is amazing, just amazing. Its actually one of the first MMOCC's that I have actually seen that "works".

If you offered the BETA to some of the people on this forum, thats just amazing.

I think Zetolic will go far.

[Invent]

I think Zetolic will go far.

I'm not convinced yet. Someone a few years ago made a flash clone of Habbo where you could walk around the Dirty Duck Pub and chat. It had great potential, but still; it's no where today.

Hmm, I don't remember that.

I just see this has having more potential then the rest of the MMOCC's that "say" they are being developed but just end up falling back to where they started out at.

I don't think it's currently on the same level as Bittybay (as I haven't seen Zetolic's beta), but the project is going well so far :}

[Oni]

It isnt as good as bittybay, ill admit that, nowhere near infact. BUT zetolic has been in development for alot less time :). It is a project I can see myself continuing with for along time. Our server is just being configured, tommorow I should be able to upload the client after which ill bug test. In the coming week im hoping to get the mods on and used to the system, ready for a half term BETA test. Of course this could all go horribly wrong but oh well.

[Colin-Roberts]

The new server is sweet.. just got to wait for the datacenter to finish up some last minute changes for us and then it should be ready to go.

Nice one :)

[alexxxxx]

i'd be happy to beta test, i would like to join a new forum/community.

[Colin-Roberts]

The forum for anyone interested is zetolicforum.com Not very popular. it gets updates quicked most times tho.

[Invent]

Zetolic is looking nice. I might purchase TheoWorlds myself and make a small place for me and my friends to go on.

[Lycan]

took a look, looksa good

[Chippiewill]

:o that lks nice, shame we cant register

[Jamie.]

:( Lol tis good George ;)

[Colin-Roberts]

I'll Probably Get Yelled At For This But Zetolic Is Back under my ownership.. I'll add the new screenshots later tonight.

[Puma]

Kool.. good luck with the project ;]

[Chippiewill]

Yes back in the hands of someone i like!!!

[Colin-Roberts]

Thanks I hope to make it as good as ever. Then better.

[Elkaa]

So, dispite the past 2 months, it's not working still?

Clubtropica.. :)

[Colin-Roberts]

Clubtropica has done alot less then zetolic. We've released 3 seperate public launches.. Zetolic is fully working..

[Ini]

Any chance of a test?

[Zaub]

Looks good, the characters sorta look like runescape characters. Can't wait for beta.

[Colin-Roberts]

The Beta Will Be Back Up Within The Week.
