Anybody try this out? If so does anybody know if you can download this off the site or how to get app? Do they charge monthly fees for this? (not that I’m interested ;/)
I have no doubt there will be monthly fees that are the same or more than the PC version, with lots of nasty things snuck into it. I also have no doubt that it will be very buggy, never become a reality, or just be a big flop… Stefan Knorr, Unixmad, and GraalOnline have never made anything meaningful for another console besides Windows PC that has been a completed success, unless you count the java games Stefan made in 1998, the incomplete Gameboy color rom, and the half assed Mac graal clients. Also note the screen shot is not a real iphone, but rather a photo shopped image of the same old crap graal also he said “if everything goes well” A vast majority of the BS and features unixmad announces never gets released and is just forgotten about and never used, see also Graal Gameboy, “RealWorld” “New World” “Flying Technology”, and dozens of other things.
It’s not really Graal, it’s just Zone remade for iphone. I don’t see why they couldn’t do it and why they wouldn’t, as they say it’ll be the first MMO for the iphone so it’s a good business move.
Bah!
Oh it would be just zone, as in the game ‘Zone’, graal is now just a name for a versatile system which is used to make ‘games’, it’s been butchered. Alot of the servers/‘playerworlds’ (which they would like to think of as individual ‘games’ now) aren’t ‘graal’ anymore, some are classic, ‘real’ graal, and some blur the lines between the two, it’s annoying for the people who want to play the ‘real’ graal, which the definition of has been totally destroyed.
From the playerworlds section of graalonline.com:
Player World creation
With the level editor and npc scripting features, you could construct and design your very own online world. The Graal engine allows for flexibility with just about everything. You could make a 2D online sidscroller, racing game, fighting game, and anything you can imagine. The versatile and easy to learn scripting language enables you to script whatever you can dream.
PROOF! I CALL FOR A GRAAL PURIST WAR!
umm this might be off topic but… Im my uni, for second year we have a choice of OS or Java mobile… It is possible we could make something better than this in plain java (MDIP) for mobile… Would be cool (netbeans 6.1 makes it very easy).
I am generally against portable devices and how they limit us but ultimately this would be very easy. Also would get the whole project an income…
What does everyone think? There arn’t many good Phone RPG games out.
Old news. I work on Classic. I have to see that shit everyday.
