The moment of truth is upon us.

NEStalgia Hub: http://www.byond.com/games/SilkGames/NEStalgia
Main Server: byond://24.205.57.138:1633
40 players already, impressive.

Well yes, this is what happens when you market your game.
Bug Report:

My party got in a fight with another player. During battle, this player logged out and we all ended up with a black screen. Thus, forcing us to relog.

Thanks for the report. Strangely, we fixed that issue this week. We'll check it out, thanks.
I'm looking forward to checking this out later, when I'm at an accessible machine. How is the 464 hosting holding up under a good #player load?
Bug Report:

I clicked the quest book right before I went into battle, thus, the quest HUD information overlayed the battle HUD.

It actually seems to be working pretty well.

I didn't offload the rsc to a remote location so we had a bunch of slowdown at first with 40+people all logging in at the same time... but since then things have been pretty smooth.

We're getting some lag spikes, but I think that's a server-side issue. The CPU usage is jumping around quite a bit so I'll need to investigate.
Found a bug in about 20 seconds.

That little part of the dialog box stays there with a flashing arrow.
Happens when you close a dialog box with more text to read. You can get rid of it by clicking the arrow and continuing to read though.


Also, the controls could use some improving.
The use of TAB especially. Something else like spacebar would work much better.

Other than that, the only issue I've seen so far is some pretty horrible lag.

Silk fix this BYOND bug or else you're getting waterboarded again.
What happened to the second server? I was almost level 8 and I left for a bit and now it is gone. :(
I believe there are some technical difficulties with the second server for the time being.
I'm using WinSCP for the first time. I brought down the server to update it and screwed everything up.

Working on it right now!
I had a few random battles where my HP failed to show up: http://files.byondhome.com/Cbgames/Who%20Needs%20HP.png

The interface needs to be improved. It can be unclear what a button does. There are also times where the HUD buttons failed to pick up my clicks.

The flashing is annoying as well. I can see someone in the near future having an epileptic seizure.

If this is what I think it is, it's actually some sort of BYOND display error that we can't prevent. Random letters or numbers sometimes just go missing.

That said, I'll double check it. Thank you for taking the time to post a screenshot!

Really? I think that it's all fairly self-explanatory (and if not, it's all there in the help files). The click delay was likely either lag or the .3 second click protection delay for HUDs.

I think that if people survived the original DW games, they'll probably survive NEStalgia ;)

Putting in the option to turn off screen flashes is definitely doable though.
The second server is back online. Thanks to Airjoe for all of the help. ATP Host runs a tight ship, I highly recommend them!
For some reason, when I group up in a party, my connection drops shortly after. This is the only game that kills my wireless internet connection. Why is that?
Not to nitpick, but it would be nice if you could implement a black skin for the character icons. I didnt stay on to play much, but from what i did experience, youve got a nice solid game going silk, good job on it, i look forward to continuing.

And hi Branks.
this game is fuck-awesome. FTW got to level 6. :D
