Back from PAX!

I had a great last few days at PAX, where I got to show 8BitMMO to the attendees.  I had a kiosk in the REACTOR booth, and many folks stopped by to learn about the game.  I handed out my entire supply of 1,000 postcards and demoed the game a few hundred times.

Many people had already heard of the game, or even played it previously.  A few fans stopped by too, and it was an awesome experience to meet them IRL.

It was also a great opportunity on the business side – I got to meet media outlets that had previously covered us online and ones who are interested in doing so in the future.  Additionally, a number of industry folks stopped by, and we discussed some very exciting plans for the future. 😉

On Sunday I got to DJ for about twenty minutes for an impromptu dance party (DJ RobbyZ!)

It. Was. Awesome. 😀

75k users! And Keys & Doors is live

key door

We just hit 75,000 registered users!

Also, the keys & doors update is now live:  There are now three different key/door pairs, and keys generated are unique to each city.  You can give/trade players keys or have them autospawn.  Use them to give only specific people in a city access to a building, or to make dungeons more interesting!

I have added one to the first dungeon, the Law Offices of LOL & LOL.

Next Update: Keys

keybigNext update will let you get keys that you can use on new special key doors.  There will be three different key/door pairs, and keys will be unique to each city.  You will be able to give/trade players keys or have them autospawn.

Use them to give only specific people in a city access to a building, or to make dungeons more interesting!

Game Reviewers mob & New Swords are out!

Lots of changes in this update:

  • New mob: Game Reviewer.
    He does not move quickly, but has lots of hp and is strong.  There is a good strategy for taking him down, but I’ll let you discover it!
  • New mob: Dire Game Reviewer
  • New weapon: Blue Sword
  • New weapon: Red Sword
  • Your health now increases with each level gained.
    This change is retroactive — just respawn to get your new max HP
  • Monsters will no longer attack through the ceiling/floor
  • Fix for lost permaitems bug

Psy has created a dungeon for the game reviewer – once its populated with some nefarious mobs, I will link it from root.  It will be targeted for players who are level 3 or later.
