Lugdunon is a 2d multiplayer RPG / sandbox game that is reminiscent of the 16 bit console era. Lugdunon runs within your web browser, so no client download is needed. Lugdunon can also be played ‘on the go’ on mobile devices such as iPads and Android tablets. Players can engage in combat with each other or with NPCs, craft and trade items, empower their character with the advancement system, place and decorate in-game signs using the full-featured sign editor, and more! However, what is really interesting about Lugdunon is the ability to take the game and truly make it your own. With powerful in-game editors available to players who have been designated ‘Game Masters’ and the ability to run your own server, the sky is the limit! Currently, from within the game itself, Game Masters can create new crafting recipes, add and edit NPCs, paint the landscape using up to 16 terrain layers, raise and lower elevation to create cliffs and chasms, place items, and edit NPC spawn points.

Beta 0.6.4 released. Important features: mod repositories, full mod management from standalone client, initial pass on particle system, new quests, locations, NPCs, and enemies, balancing, and bug fixes.

Note: Apologies, but due to the nature of this release (with respect to mod management, and the expanding world) a full client / server download is recommended. Also, the public servers are going to see a complete reset with this release. This likely will not occur again for a few months though. :)

Mod Repositories

Support for mod repositories allows for players and server ops to quickly and easily located a wide range of world and server mods. A mod repository is a location on the internet that curates a collection of mods, and is defined in a repository.ldn file. The standalone client also provides a UI for managing repositories, and for installing mods provided by the registered repositories, located in the options -> setting list.

An ANT task has also been created to facilitate the creation of the repository.ldn file.

Full Mod Management From Standalone Client

Finally, players can completely manage all aspect of their installed server and world mods without ever leaving the standalone client UI. Available functions for both server and world mods are install, enable, disable, and remove. World mod toggling can also be performed on a per world basis. Also, the need to host world mods in each world’s file structure has been eliminated. Now, each world pulls its world mod implementations from a localized central cache.

Standalone Client World Mods

Finally, the standalone client and world configuration property keys are now displayed in the form of an editable select box. You can choose a predefined key or enter a custom one.

Particle System

The first pass at adding a particle system is complete. You can play with it at Client.lugdunon.net! Needless to say, this will likely evolve a great deal before the 1.0.0 release, but the core is now in.

Particle Fire

New Stuff!

The world has grown, with the addition of new areas to explore, NPCs to interact with, enemies to combat, and a dozen new quests await completion!

Marros the Smith

Shining Heart Grounds

Shining Heart Basement

A second artist, the very talented Becca Bair has begun work on an alternate tileset, dubbed 'Tupelo'. Only a few of the terrain layers have been completed so far, but it is exciting to look forward to the option of a second set of art to choose from when creating your world!

Balancing

Weapons and tools have all had their durability increased by 100%, except for the stone grade items which have had a durability increase of 150%. Also, weapons and tools now require 50% less stamina to use across the board.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue that was causing erroneous logging during the update process.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing quest CountableItemBasedProgress implementors with a specified itemType from properly registering.
  • Fixed another issue that was causing a crash on quit with MacOS.
  • Cross-origin images are now initialized properly in order to not 'taint' any canvases they drawn onto.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing the standalone client settings to fail to properly initialize if the codehelper APIs are unavailable. game.client.getPublicIp() will now return "Service Unavailable" in that case.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing unnecessary escapes of forward slashes in JSON strings.
  • Fixed an issue with the minimap not tracking correctly when near a map boundary.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing the light map to not be applied correctly on the minimap.
  • Fixed an issue with the quest editor not properly resetting its modified flag when a quest is saved.
  • Fixed an issue with the quest editor not properly reloading the current quest when saved.
  • Fixed an issue with the quest editor not exiting the wait state when saving a new quest.
  • Fixed an issue with countable base quests not properly persisting their completion state.
  • Fixed an issue that was preventing the item reward completion condition UI from rendering.
  • Fixed an issue that was preventing the placeable removal abandon condition UI from rendering.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing a server-side error when occasionally removing metrics listeners.
  • Fixed an issue that was allowing multiple shutdown threads to exist simultaneously. This is likely the issue that was causing the standalone client world corruption.
  • Fixed an issue with net.lugdunon.state.quest.condition.completion.reward.ItemReward that was causing issues with saving quest data.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing RECIPE:CRAFTING.RECIPE.ID to appear in several quest summaries. Read that as 'I totally forgot to implement the following feature for 0.6.3'.
  • Fixed match for net.lugdunon.world.defaults.compendium.CraftingRecipeLinkParameterFilter to disregard a trailing '.'.
  • Fixed match for net.lugdunon.world.defaults.compendium.InstancedPlayerItemLinkParameterFilter to disregard a trailing '.'.
  • Fixed match for net.lugdunon.world.defaults.compendium.ModifierLinkParameterFilter to disregard a trailing '.'.
  • Fixed match for net.lugdunon.world.defaults.compendium.SpellLinkParameterFilter to disregard a trailing ‘.’.
