I'm building a Runescape Classic-inspired game.

I've been hesitating posting this as I've been only working on it in my part time, but if any place would like to hear about it it's probably people still here. I'm trying to replicate the early-2002-era Runescape experience - except not what it was actually like, but what I remember it being like, which has quite a bit of rose-tinted-goggle-ness about it!

It's still quite early on but it's already playable (with a quest!). If you'd like to take a look come see the alpha https://genfanad.com/ or join our discord at https://discord.gg/uN3Vvsv

Hope the advertising is fine!

THAT IS SO COOL! I love it!

Wow, looking good. And lol at the firemaking. There is nothing as useless as RS Classic firemaking but damned if I didn't spend countless hours doing it!

Impressive!

Thanks Parrot!

For anyone who's interested, I finally got a splash page with screenshots and cool design up! https://genfanad.com/

If anyone has any more funny 'taglines' at the top, tell me and they might get added.

Ha, good idea for a banner suggestion! No certs in game, so I'll have to adapt it to something else.

In other news, I'll be having another alpha test on Monday, December 21st, and maybe a holiday drop on Christmas! Come help out and join the discord to sign up. :-)

The alpha is up and running. :-)

Over a year since the last post, and we've gotten some publicity!

There's also a lot of fun stuff coming behind the scenes.

Neat! Pretty cool to see how far it's come. I played it for a bit a couple of times, but I mainly wanted to top the leaderboards and was pretty downtrodden when they got reset.

Oh well!

I didn't know you had a team actually; I thought it was just you! That makes things easier for sure. I was making a multiplayer platformer for a while in 2014 but while I'm alright at refining ideas, I'm not the best at creating them from scratch, so it was tough.

Game has a trailer now. :-)

Applequest · **Posted:** July 17th, 2021, 7:46 am

Pretty funny, nice work!

Esper Jones · **Posted:** July 31st, 2021, 8:46 pm

Thanks! I'm going to be trying to do a kickstarter to see if people are interested in it.

To see people this streaming now is kind of crazy. Congrats on the launch Esper.
