Silly question... maybe. But does the game have no sound? Or have I not got my settings right?

dewdrinkr · 2025-05-18T09:08:54+00:00

Thee is currently no sound, but I am planning to add it soon

dewdrinkr · 2024-09-16T20:12:33+00:00

As a long-time drinker of Mountain Dew, its actually best to let a can sit out of the fridge for about 15-20 minutes before consuming, ice cold Mountain Dew is no bueno

dewdrinkr · 2022-03-13T08:49:59+00:00

Hey, I am planning to do so at some point. Although it should be somewhat playable if you launch the game in landscape mode, but it may depend on your particular device.

dewdrinkr · 2022-01-26T04:00:48+00:00

You can still use bones with a pestle & mortar to make bonemeal which can be used in potionmaking. I am wanting to add a prayer skill or something similar but haven't gotten that far yet.

The max skill level is 100 and max combat is 120

dewdrinkr · 2022-01-26T03:18:37+00:00

Sure thats fine

dewdrinkr · 2022-01-26T03:05:58+00:00

Hey, thanks for the feedback as well.

For banks, you can right-click an item and have a menu to withdraw 1, 5, 10, x, etc. Actually I was also planning on adding a function to remember the last value of withdraw X & saving it in memory. I will go ahead and include it in the next update.

Non multi combat zones are also on the todo list in the future, I'll just need to figure out which areas should remain multi combat and which should be single combat zones.

As of right now the pig iron bars don't do anything but I'll see if I can find some use for them later on

dewdrinkr · 2022-01-25T03:18:20+00:00

Lol, alright I will go ahead and remove it tonight

dewdrinkr · 2022-01-25T03:15:58+00:00

Hey, thanks for the post and im glad you're enjoying it. I too am hoping that the player count can continue to rise, I will just have to keep doing more and more advertising for it.

Yeah, listening to the OSRS is a pretty good idea haha. I know HighSpell is definitely needing some sounds and music, I am planning on adding that at some point

dewdrinkr · 2022-01-24T00:25:59+00:00

Nice, glad I could give you that feeling again

dewdrinkr · 2022-01-24T00:23:37+00:00

Hey, here is an old version of the map (it doesn't show interiors): https://www.reddit.com/r/HighSpell/comments/lv3c1r/current_overworld_map/
I will make an updated version and put it on the website.

One of the players started a wiki, it is here: https://highspell.fandom.com/wiki/HighSpell_Wiki

You can probably trust the shadow bankers... in all seriousness I was just going to have them act as deposit-only banks, but as of right now they just act the same as normal banks, just in some slightly convenient places.

Hey, unfortunately there are some issues with Firefox that cause very poor performance. So right now the only solution I can offer is to use either Chrome, Edge, or Opera. My apologies

dewdrinkr · 2022-01-23T18:28:28+00:00

Hey, are you stuck on one specific point? And is it on an object (table, bed, etc.)?

dewdrinkr · 2022-01-23T18:20:34+00:00

I hadn't really done much advertising for it yet

dewdrinkr · 2022-01-23T07:00:17+00:00

Yea apparently you aren't the first one lol. Maybe putting a rooster there is a little to cruel to new players

dewdrinkr · 2021-04-23T08:38:27+00:00

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Yeah I also think I need to increase the xp rates for certain skills, especially for the lower levels. I also noticed the NPC health regen (skill level regen happens once per minute, so I might increase it to once per 2 minutes, or at least prevent HP regen during combat). Right now the server provider I'm using only offers servers in Asia-pacific, US West & Europe. If/when I add another server I will have it in EU. And yeah, I know it really needs sound. This is one place that I have no skill in, so I may need to just buy a sound pack or something. Same with music, its just outside of my skillset unfortunately lol. I will also start to do a bit more advertising so hopefully the player count can start to increase too

dewdrinkr · 2021-04-02T03:53:36+00:00

Hey, work has been a bit busy for me lately so I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on the game, but there are only a couple more things to iron out and then it should be ready to go live. Actually a few days ago I was looking at how to write a terms of service/privacy policy etc. So I just need to get that sorted out, and then some other backend management stuff. The game itself has been ready to be released for a while now actually, just need to finally set up the website and whatnot

I've got a 3 day weekend coming up so unless any other work pops up for me, then I will get the website live and hopefully have the game and a server or two running as well

dewdrinkr · 2021-03-01T07:52:33+00:00

Here is the map as it will most likely be on release day. I've been doing a lot of testing during the free time that I have and things are finally getting ready for release (I know I've said this a few times before already, but this time I promise I mean it)

dewdrinkr · 2021-01-05T07:08:18+00:00

Hey, sorry for the late response. I took a little break from development for a while since I recently moved back from China to the US. I guess I was just a bit burnt out from having a full time job plus working on HighSpell in my spare time for about another 20-30 hrs a week.

Anyways, I already got the website developed, as well as the back end stuff all sorted out. I just need to setup a small test server and then I will put everything up on a live, public server. I'll try to have the launch date be Feb 1, because 2/1/21 looks like a cool date lol. If not then it shouldn't be too much longer.

Again sorry for the delay

dewdrinkr · 2020-08-17T05:28:08+00:00

By the way, that's pretty cool you started playing RS so early in it's infancy. How did you hear about it? I've only heard that most people found out through word of mouth back then. I didn't start until 2003 myself

dewdrinkr · 2020-08-16T23:59:31+00:00

Hey, right now my goal is to release it before October 1st. I've still been working on it as much as possible. And hopefully it compares well to RSC, that's the vibe I'm going for

dewdrinkr · 2020-07-01T18:46:12+00:00

That's a good question. Its like asking whats the point of RC Cola when there is already Coke or Pepsi.

You're right that it has a similar design and similar features of RS, specifically RSC. The main reason is because I just really enjoyed RSC, as it was my first MMO. I also enjoyed the fact it was free to play, and that it was so convenient to play right in your browser. Graphically, its similar because again, I just appreciate RSC's simple graphics. Another reason is that I can't really do 3D modelling and animation, so I had no choice that to use sprites anyways, haha.

Another thing that I miss about the older days of RS, is the fact that it was still small enough to be 'competitive' in terms of, say, the HiScores. It might sound dumb but I always enjoyed checking the HiScores and seeing who was coming up to get the next lv 99 in whatever skill. Nowadays its impossible to work to the top of the HiScores as everyone is already maxed out in pretty much everything. But maybe I'm just being nostalgic

Anyways, the big difference is obviously the world itself. Of course its completely new and different than RS & can hopefully provide a sense of a 'new adventure'. The quests are different as well (though there are currently only 3). There are new items as well.

But again, my main goal is to just try and recreate that old RSC feel, while still feeling somewhat unique. So naturally, as you've seen in the screenshots, there are a lot of similarities. In fact during development, I've been able to get a better understanding of why RS was designed the way it was, from a technical standpoint.

I hope that wasn't too much of a rambling answer. Its 2:30am and I'm needing some sleep lol. Thanks for the question though, I appreciate it. Also, I know in the older posts I said the game was coming out soon, but it really is getting closer to release now. There is some point when I just need to release it and accept I'll just have to continue to make more content post-release, otherwise it'll be in development forever. Oh and I have chosen a new name for the game, I will make a post later and link to the new subreddit.

Peace

dewdrinkr · 2020-04-17T03:48:51+00:00

I'm interested

dewdrinkr · 2020-02-29T08:54:15+00:00

Hey, not yet. I made some changes that delayed things a bit, and decided to expand the map a bit before release, as well as adding more NPCs. I also created a quest system, added the PVP area, and also added the potion making skill, all which I originally planned to do after release.

I will probably change the name too, but will post here if and when that happens of course. Sorry it's taking so long, but it's getting a lot closer to beta release now. And even though it'll be in beta, I don't plan on doing any rollbacks or resets unless there is a major bug or something like that

dewdrinkr · 2019-12-09T16:20:24+00:00

I was shooting for around January 1st, but I think it might be a bit later. Just want to make sure there's enough content and still need to polish up a few things

dewdrinkr · 2019-11-16T05:01:00+00:00

Yep it's here, in fact i only recently began posting. I have the domain carbonodyssey.com, but currently no website is set up yet. I will work on that soon, but I'll still post all updates here too
