Note: This site is no longer update. Please see http://laminos.newdawnsoftware.com for current news.
Mini Adventure (soon to be called Lights of Laminos) has been moved onto a hosted server,
the client is still available from the same location but the server should be updated to
"bob.newdawnsoftware.com". New bits have been added including conversation dialogs!
In addition, hopefully soon I'll be doing a new website and trying to get a domain for the
game. Watch this space.
About
Mini Adventure is a small game to test concepts related to MMORPG and Java 2D graphics performance.
Currently its intended to use RPG Maker 2000 style graphics which are slightly smoothed to give a nicer look. Eventually the hope
is to have networking so that multiple players can adventure together (it a very cutesy style).
Adventure and Conversation scripting should be supported. In addition map creation should be as simple as
possible. Toolsets are being being written to support cutting tiles, map creation and producing the XML dielcts
that define how adventures will progress.
Simple and Fun.
Launch
The current demo is available via Java Web Start. To use it you'll need to get a version of Java from http://www.java.com.
