Hi Gene,

Great Improvement! Really enjoy walking around now and doing stuff :)
Just one thing though: when are you gonna put some sound in your (otherwise 
great) games?

Greets,

Richard

> Sherwood Dungeon (sort of a sequel to Sherwood) is finally up and in open 
> beta. I'm exhausted but very happy to get this one out after seven months.
>
> This game features an infinitely deep dungeon filled with monsters and 
> treasure. It includes a full XP based character advancement system, many 
> new weapons, magic rings and more. The new code base is faster and should 
> provide a stable foundation for future enhancements.

> Game Notes:
>
> -Games are saved on exit and when you leave dungeon levels (just with 
> encripted setprefs...no server side saving yet.)
>
> -The Dungeon entrance is in the Keep of Sherwood Castle. Player vs Player 
> combat is valid only outside the Keep and away from the two smaller towers 
> near the spawn point.
>
> -The monsters get tougher the deeper you go, but you'll get more XP 
> points. If you team up on a monster with a friend, the XP earned is based 
> on the damage you do. The monsters in the Castle Level scale to level of 
> the player, however you'll get only a small amount of experience from 
> these.
>
> -There's no level cap. (Took a bit of math and creativity to get the game 
> system to scale with no level cap.)
>
> -Make sure you keep re-equipping with higher level weapons as you go; 
> you'll need them. The level of the weapon is listed along with the damage 
> and magic bonus when you mouse over them in the equipment bar or 
> inventory.
>
> -Blocking an attack will give you double damage on the next attack....or 
> triple if you block 2 attacks in a row.
>
> I hope you enjoy the game. This is an open beta, or at least it is now. 
> Some of the more obsesed MaidMarian players guessed the URL on Saturday, 
> so before rumors started spreading in the MM chatrooms I decided to 
> release the
> game. I'm still finding and fixing bugs.
>
> Let me know what you think.
