Olvand is a little multiplayer sandbox RPG, where the players live in self-built towns and can go on all kinds of adventures together. Imagine living with your friends in a small town in the mountains, or creating a new group of friends in a pub in the metropole you all live in. There will be several mini-games the inhabitants of a server can play together, among which will be combat based games like King of the Hill or Capture the Flag. You will be able to play against other people in your city, or as a city against another city, or as a whole server against another server. The combat works with self-built guns, in which all kinds of powers can be combined to create unique effects.

Hi all, I'm back, and with a new update! It's now available for everybody on Desura. I sent Deadpepper5 a prerelease, and he has made his best video so far (and one of the best videos in general), showing all of the new features:


The only new thing Deadpepper couldn't show is the quick start guide for new users (because he isn't a new user). A quick impression:


You can't see it, but this is actually an animation! I want to tell you much more about this, as well as about how I fixed the problems with old video cards and 32bit systems, but I'll save it for later.

Speaking of Olvand not working on other pcs, I just tried to install the latest version on the server, and I got an error message about a missing dll I'd never heard of or needed before :S. Downloading the dll from the internet solved the problem but I'm a bit worried this might happen to some normal computers as well. We'll see.

Next up: inviting another group of 100 players, and two more groups if they don't report too many problems!
