Hmmm? Did the 'Legend of now' first tutorial actually help any of you?

How about a "what's what" file? Or would you prefer I updated the offical sphere help file?

Well I've set out to make scripting easier with my spherescript library file, however it's probably making things more complex:- ConvertTileArea and RevertTileArea being two of the functions you should check out.

Thoose functions are demonstrated in the latest version of "Legend-of-now" by me; Flik.

If you can think of a function you want scripted for you... e-mail me at flik@r67.net and I'll see what I can do for you!

Well the 1st tutorial started of as a simple get to know how to use sde but now it's slowly becoming a how to make a game. Check it out!

Also for those of you who can't figure out how to get sphere download sphere-legend-of-now.zip which includes sphere and the game that the 1st tutorial is about making.

Actually Legend of now isn't much of a game it's more of a default game for you to use.

I've started doing tutorials... I plan to have 3 all in all. Each covering a certain bit of sphere:- general sde, creating maps and scripting. In that order I should be able to teach all of you lot how to use sphere. Although now I think about it I'll probably break topics upto smaller topics just to help people use them.

Check the files section:- 1st tutorial if your having problems getting started with sde.

I updated the Flik spherescript library, void FadeOutTile(); being the best function I added.

I made a simple, and to be honest a not all that good spherescript library file. However, I've made this one function called TileImage which anyone could use at some stage though their game so I'm happy with it. Check it out it's in the files section. For those of you too lazy to even do that here's the link for it-> Flik's spherescript library files. I've put some info about it in the misc info section, so you can check that out too.

The Flik library will grow just send ideas for functions to me and I'll add them to it!

I can't think of anything to say... but I made an update!

I made a actual update!!!

River-of-time may get music made by Troupe which could be pretty cool really... I'll make an update that I class as an 'actual update' soon.

Library files have been added to sphere; so I'll make a library file that everyone can use.

Yeaee, I made an actual update. Not just an update. Also this layout thing is starting to annoy me but if it makes it easier to read the updates; I'll be happy.

Hmmm... is a perfect web site actually possible?

Frames anyone? That and a slightly different design... Hope it's easier to use, :)

Just to let you know. I'll be making another release of river-of-time soon-ish. But this time it'll be slightly better. I'm trying to make sure I don't give any of the storyline away til the offical release; meaning when I've done 1/3 of the game; but even then you wont get all the story, you'll just get pieces so that the final version can be un-predictable in terms of story and doesn't repeat itself all the time from every other previous release. By the way... I hope what I just said makes sense...

Recently I've been experimenting with making the faces for the characters of my game and I've just about got it right this time; check them out and suggest improvements please...

Do any of you lot know anything about getting your own domain names? You know, so like if I was thinking about trying to get www.flik.com as the web address for this place.

Okay I have uploaded the faces of the characters from my game -> check the files section.

I'm working on a spherescript tutorial; I was kind of going to get people just to understand the syntax of the functions, but maybe I'll actually put some real effort into this.

Well I know I haven't updated in a bit; but Wolf phantom has been doing some good work with listing the sphere script functions:- http://wolf-phantom.webjump.com/ss_frames.htm, check it out and I'll make a proper update soon.

And we have a winner; tutorials for sphere. Check the ever growing files page for more info...

I really think this web site needs (a) something new; (b) something different.

So if *anyone* has any ideas please e-mail them to me at Flik@r67.net as I need ideas to get this site going.

So far I have thought of an ideas center whereas people who think of ideas for games: storylines, characters, locations, items, baddies, etc can send them in and hopefully someone who can't think of any storylines, characters, locations, items, baddies, etc can use the ones at the ideas center on this web site. However an ideas center or page would only work if you lot gave ideas to the cause.

Also some RPG sites do interviews; okay so I would just be stealing their idea but I would get people to answer questions so that other people can learn more about them but that idea also depends on you lot as there doesn't seem to be that many people to interview at the moment.

Finally my final idea for this web sites prospects: Documentation to be HTMLized and uploaded.

So then which is the best idea and how do I implement it?

Sorry I forgot to upload the new angled font zip file. I have now, :)

Well just look at the members list; it's growing and no it isn't spring. (Or is it?) So just remember if you use sphere or are part of sphere in someway just e-mail me and get yourself added; you don't even have to have your e-mail address there aswell but that is *kind of* the point of having the list.

In other news; congratulations Balbanes for a magical sounding mp3 called Cara village (check the awards) and it loops quite nice aswell, :)

Finally dispite the fact I made a angled font that is angled the other way- Wolf phantom steals the font award.

What did everyone think of the release I made? Any comments will do as it'll help make river-of-time a better game; cheers anyway though.

Today I decided that although the first scroll windowstyle I made used alpha, its better than my second attempt that doesn't use alpha. So I have added them both to the scroll.zip and you can decide which to use in your game.

I've added asdatia software's new link to the links section and thats pretty much all for today.

Well I was chatting to Zaril in IRC and it seems that not many people know who I am and what I have to do with sphere.

Well I'm kind of the Idea guy / IRC operator / River-of-time creator / sphere help file creator / helpful to fellow sphere users...

So what's this web page all about then?

The world of sphere in all its glory. Sphere games, sphere users, sphere links: sphere info basically...

I've fixed a couple of errors with this site (and probably made more).

A secret hidden release of my game has been uploaded to hyperspace: if you know me you'll know where it is because I would of told you.

I've uploaded Cerial's tiles. These tiles aren't in a convenient tileset but they could be useful and I've added a cool font by Wolf phantom.

Although I didn't like RefreshInput() being taken away from spherescript at first, now I've accepted it; as automatic key handling is useful and apparently it's like Getch() in c.

In other news today, I was wondering if anyone knew of how to make a voting system for the awards section; as this was something I was planning for a long time but never got round to it.

Finally Fallacious gear the website as been added to the links and my game is going up a gear in development. (the award for best new game will be mine yet) Hopefully sphere will have triggers again soon and layers sorted soon though.

Okay. I've started a little side track project for JRN. I'm going to see if I can create any house tiles and while I'm doing that I've decided to create a font; one that looks like either normal handwriting or one that isn't as straight as mike.rfn so it looks as if it could of been drawn on a scroll.

Other news, Wolf phantom got an award for the best script as he made this cool ff1 style menu system. I've also redone the scroll windowstyle so that's better and that got an award but there's not very many windowstyles for sphere at the moment so it won easily. Also the file functions work, :) meaning you can pretty much save games.

Check out my scroll type windowstyle, in the files section.

There's been a slight re-design of these pages for technical reasons: mainly I wanted something new.

I'm thinking about uploading Darklich's wizardry battlesystem so you can all play around with it, but other than that...

I have made the characters for my game in bitmap form. I say characters I mean party characters and I say made I mean edited someone elses.

Although they do look good and I can't wait to release a beta of river-of-time; unfortunatly though, the next offical release isn't ready and I stil have much more to do so like me, you'll have to wait.

I have started making the maps for river-of-time. Also Khadgar is making a website that looks okay; of which I'll add to the links when it's done. Sphere has now got file access functions and this little thing called surfaces which means you can create images by code; or edit existing ones.

Sphere has also recently got support for mp3 and the windowstyle editor is finished, I think. A couple new video drivers like the interpolated driver and the spriteset and i32 editors are making progess.

Finally. Can anyone think of an orginal type of money? e.g. gold, dollars, pounds... but those aren't orginal. If you can I'd be grateful.

River-of-time update about jia. Jia the weird magic, I just worked out how it works and how it can destroy a world at the same time as creating a world.

Actually the whole world (or area) of river-of-time has been mapped out, it's just a case of waiting for sde and sphere to finish (which now has variable resolutions; which the user sets in sde by the way).

Anybody need any help with thier games? I know quite alot about sphere and have loads of free time so whether it's graphics, storylines or something really tedious, I don't mind, e-mail me on Flik@r67.net and I'll see what I can do for ya.

A little info on river-of-time and sphere. River-of-time should be released sometime after the new release of sphere comes out. I have sort of made the main characters for river-of-time and the battlesystem is on the way. If anyone wants to help me make river-of-time something tangable they are more than welcome so just contact me on Flik@r67.net okay?

Also sphere now has arrays, bool and float variable types and color coding in spherescript, oh and that unoffical help file system, it's now the offical help file system and you'll get it with the sde. Finally, are you making a game for sphere? Tell me about it.

I've started a sphere help system apart from this time its built from the ground up and I'm trying to make it look more professional.

Check it out, it's in the files section.

I added an amazing comment function on sidebar, for javascript enabled browsers only.

I've added some more library functions, including percentagetextbox and scrolltext. I've been thinking about uploading the basis of what the library file will be run on, but you'll be less as impressed when the library offical version comes out though.

Anyhow, scrolltext is one cool function, it can scroll the text in more or less any direction, at any speed at any point. Impressed? You will be.

Works fine in netscape, next I'll get rivers-edge working fine in opera.

I have managed to make the music player work in netscape, yeahee, :)

Also the all the pages tells you when they were last updated.

Well just to let you know the library files I plan on making are filters, maths and system.

The syntax of all the functions I have worked out are in the #misc info section nowadays.

In terms of an actual update I have added our explanation of how to use IRC aka internet relay chat.

New awards section, in which I humbly get an award. Although there's eleven upfor grabs so it's not like I'm being unfair.

A democratic system for voting is planned.

When I work out how to use library files, I'll make a library file called filters, so you can so functions like darken(); lighten(); clear(); etc, and the scripts section in files will start to grow.

Any more filters you can think of will go in the filters library and it'll build on what sphere can do without making your game scripts look messy. This is just one of the ways in which this site and sphere will grow.

Updated toady, check the ever- growing links section and #games and new #misc info sections.

In terms of what sphere is doing, it just about got arrays and is soon to get library files.

I've just more or less finished my main game menu, now I'll move on to doing the sub-menus.

I'm going to be releasing a sample version of the river-of-time sometime next century, (two weeks time maybe?) but til then I've used the main menu to make one of the screenshots look better.

I've been working on my battle system. It is starting to work, but I'm just playing around at the moment. My character got slaughtered first battle and I've have to make levels for the enemies.

It's a standard turn based system, nothing special.

Alive and kicking files section, check it out! The treat is now my amazing military game and if you hadn't noticed info had a bit of a revamp.

Hey, hey you now have the choice of whether to play the song as a file or a plain background music.

Xmas day, today!

Hey we all make mistakes, I'll just pretend I never tried to update the music player and it'll go back to the way it was.

Merry Christmas everybody!

I'm going to upload all the tilesets very soon.

I didn't want to upload them before becuase they wasted so much space, but I going to edit them and using delete tile on all the tiles that are blank and pointless.

I've update the links section, and the info section.

Sphere looks better than ever, and I'm only going by the pre-release of the engine.

New treat! (as of every week on a monday, hopefully)

Check sphere on the others page, it has some cool screenshots and I also uploaded the latest sde.

I found that some people wanted to know what sphere looked like, in short:-

Check the info page. (it's not finished yet but it's there)

Well I've started this thing called 'treat of the week' and well it's on the files page, and you should find something new everyweek.

I slightly redid the page(s), aswell because lightskyblue is such a cool color.

Hey, I just uploaded a selection of music files, that make my default RPG music, check the resource page.

Oh yeah, I just thought of a much better way for my game to start, so I'm going to delay it a bit longer.

Well today I made the page, it should be finished by the time sphere gets the next release.

If you want make a game, this will be the place to go...

Let me know what items you would want on this web page and send in your games made for sphere with sde, maybe I could host them, =)
