This game has been in development on and off for a couple years, but the developers have come back and are working on the game again. The game is open for anybody to play, and it is free to play as well.
Http://www.ChippedDagger.comSome of the qualities of the game:
- One Seamless World (No sharding and no instancing).
- Random Dungeons (Random location, random size, random monsters, and random treasures).
- You can find new items that have never been discovered or seen before!
- Nearly everything in the world is craftable including the ability to mint coins.
- PvP (you can attack anyone anywhere, but in some areas there are penalties.) PVP Is currently off till further notice.
- Full Loot PvP, and PvM. (If you kill your opponent or find another players body you can loot anything he carries.)
- Player owned housing.
- No restrictive classes, no skill-by-use grinding. Actually play the game instead of watching your XP bar or a countdown timer all day!
- Monsters spawn in random locations at random times. Over time they will migrate. No more spawn camping!
- More than 200,000 monsters roaming the over world and in dungeons!
- Have a permanent impact on the world. Place your house where you want to. Setup markets where you want to. Modify the terrain near your buildings. Be remembered as the person who found (or invented) a legendary item!
- A sandbox game instead of a theme park one.
- Very low system requirements to play Nearly any modern computer with Java installed can play 'The Chipped Dagger'!
- Runs on Windows | Mac OSX | Linux | Solaris and maybe a couple other places where Java is installed.
- Compared to the multi-gigabyte downloads of many MMOs, this one is only a couple megabytes.
It is still in alpha, and it is still rough around the edges on certain things. To show you progress of just the graphics I will post an old screen shot, and a new one. This is just changes in tiles over time, but the game play is what has changed the most in the development process so far!
This was the game in May of 2010:
This is the game as of March 2012:
The game is progressing, and as the community grows more changes will be implemented. There are quite a few players who play that have been playing for quite a while who would be more than willing to assist in answering any questions you have such as myself. Feel free to stop by and try the game out! You can post/PM me any questions or talk to me on the game!
