Should the Graal3d project be scratched?
 

It seems a lot of Graal's resources are being thrown towards the creation of Graal3d. I can't speak for anyone else, but part of the draw of Graal was it was a 2d game, it didn't try to be the best graphics and features wise.

My question is, what do you players think, should the current resources be used to improve our 2 gold servers, while providing better customer support and occasionally updating the games features?

Or should we continue to spread our resources throughout everything; Graal 3d, gold servers, updating the scripting language, redoing the client and providing customer support.

I would like to see what they're working on completed before I made that judgement.

I want 3d so bad.. wanna test the engine and I know tons do.

I want to see Graal 3D work out. It looks promising and I wanna own Kuji in 3D.

Personally, I think it should be scratched.

At best, Graal is going to be a sub-par 3D MMORPG. I think it should do its best to be one of the best 2D games.

I want graal 3d. There's so much that could be done with it, I'm really looking foward to its release :)

Graal 3D
ONLY GRAAL 3D!
taking every server down and working on graal 3d!

Im so anxious to see Graal3D :[

I also will own joey in it ;)

Im not to bothered if its made or not, but i wouldnt mind making textures like Elk said above. And developing a 3d server with the easy to use graal tools :D If they are easy that is.

Yeah it would be really sweet to make a 3d playerworld :D

textures are easier than pixelart so yea!

Who uses scratched in place of scrapped?

Err, is there anyway to test out G3D at this point? I wanna play nowww :(

Obviously I do. And obviously everyone knows what I am talking about.

I'd like to see the 3D playerworld toolkit released, but I'm not so crazy about Graal 3D itself.

It seems to me like a lot of lesser developers might be able to do things with Graal3D that the 5-man team of Cyberjoueurs staff may not have thought of. If players are presented with the tools they need to work on things, more often than not, they will. However, it first takes someone to develop those tools for usage.

Because you already failed owning me in 2d ;)

Graal3d is a waste of time IMO. I would like a nice 2d game to play first atleast lol.

Ok someoens going to shoot me for this but would you explian graal3d like is t being made or what?

The engine is made now they're working on content and some new features for the engine.

3D is only going to put development out of the reach of the players. Sure, GScript may still be there, but you will need so much more skill to make the game look interesting and different as skins and models are very complicated compared to just graphics.

Also, I think it's not worth it. It's been going for so long, as still there isn't that much that I know of (granted, they have been keeping tight lips). But if they had put all that time and resources into a 2D/GK style 3D world I'd bet they would be pleasing more people than they will with 3D.

Keep going with 3d, if they scrap it now it's a complete waste. Just let them bring it out then comment on it.

Knowing when to stop is a good thing, especially in business. Carrying on, for the sake of finishing it when the end product is not going to appeal doesn't make sense, and is a further waste of resources.

Graal really shouldn't carry on for the sake of carrying on. I honestly do not think that there will be anything worthwhile at the end of the project.

As I previously stated in another thread, I originally upgraded for this feature. I highly doubt I'll be upgrading even if it gets finished; !pissed! the project is now tainted.

That's all well and dandy, but you might have taken what I said in the wrong way. I meant for them to keep going if it's worth it, I'm sure there will be players and it will be a huge change for Graal in itself.

I personally would play and re-upgrade (which I done like 2 weeks ago) to play Graal 3D.

Nha, it's lost all it's credibility; I wouldn't upgrade knowing that it's not finished nor being actively worked on :p

graal should start new

Wow Elk, fantastic logic. A business would die if it does stupid things like that.

Anyway, Wan, where is the information regarding what you just said about it barely being worked on? Maybe it's in this thread, I might have over looked it.

Right. First, are you talking about the Graal3D world, or the Graal3D engine?

The world will have to be crafted very well for it to be worth it's while, but the engine is going to be excellent to have either way.

i could make so ownage textures...!

It's been delayed so many times, apparantly they're starting it after they've added some other feature - so I understand?

Ah.. if that's the case.. then that's not good.

I can't believe me, the one who complains about everything, is one of the only people who want Graal 3D. lol

Like I said in another thread, I only play Graal because it is one of vey few online 2D games that you can develop on yourself. If I wanted to play a 3D game, I would play a game from *one of the big ones*.

No.

Graal is supposed to be 2D, and it should not become 3D.

You don't have to play the 3D part. It's not like UN will suddenly become 3D.
Even with Graal's professional staff I don't think they can make enough 3D gothic baby heads to meet UN's needs.

LOL well said :D :D :D

Since when did you take Unixmad's throne?

Real power lies in the hands of the people when trying to sell a product. So if the people dont want 3D there shall and shouldnt be 3D..that is if Unixmad makes a smart buisness decision based on this.

I think people are concerned about 3D because they relize that it takes time to create. The time in which they think The Graal Administration could be using more wisely on the 2D part.

I've looked at the screenshots and I dont really want to play it.
