Hello, fellow members of Graalonline!

I am *Horrified, owner and manager of Horrification. We have been in development for around a month and a half, and this is some of our accomplishments.

First, I would like to tell you, to those who don't know, we are based on puzzles, which, in Horrification, aren't anything like a random maze; they are like 1 man events! All original, sculpted out of creativity to it's finest. We have decided that we would pull making these last; so we can perfect
everything the original graal system hasn't perfected, of course.

Let's start with one of our great systems: the Chat System!

Hmm, we seem to see a lot of options and such here...but why is the chat system invisible?! To save the room, of course. With Mouse over Transparency on, moving your mouse over the chat will make it
appear. Of course, just plan turning on your chat will take off the transparency of it as well:

My, my! Quite lovely! Of course, getting out of chat will transition you onto transparency as easy as it was to see it off. And, if anyone was wondering; it's also anti-spam proof, for all those who expect to see hundreds of "sdgasg" popping up on the chat history log. But, moving on, let's take a look at another side course of our lovely dish: Trading!

With trading, we always thought players loved selling and trading there items for others...but to do it never was as easy as this:

Hmm, it seems simple enough to set up what I want to trade for...

Wow! A window inside of a window...very nice!

To another, trading successfully is as easy as it would be for me to cancel it; pressing the button that would be "Cancel", which would be "Accept". Of course, you can also go for selling it for Gralats, which might be more useful on Horrification then most make it out to be on others.

Moving on, we know how much players like playing through short but sweet jobs, but we like to call them "quests".

Woah! Looks like I was given a quest!

Perhaps I shouldn't show how this is completed; it will be yours once, after all. And also, in horrification, finishing a quest will never leave you empty-handed; that's yours to find out.

Hmm, but what about getting those gralats you could trade in for?! We currently have two solutions to that:

Woah...an apple fell down from the tree! Although many like to eat apples, we always think selling apples is more important then eating them.

But that's bound to get boring eventually...just simply slashing down apples?! Where is the skill in that?!

That's why we have something where you throw down bait on a rod, and hope a fish grabs it. People like to call this "Fishing".

What is all of this?

The circle there is actually coming towards you; quite fast, actually. Your job is to press S at the right time when it crosses or gets near the red line; sound simply? Not always...

D'oh!

Hmm, but what about those puzzles you always talk of?! Well, we are still in heavy development with most of them, but we have got a nice set up of how you will pick them. I know most of you like to turn off your Graal "Taskbar", but Horrification has found a nice use for it: the Puzzle Select button!

http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/7...ttonhorhd0.png

What's this?! I haven't seen this on my other servers!

You can, of course, always press F4 if you'd rather not have it on either way. But what does it open in such fancy ways?!

http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/6...eselectng5.png

Wow! look at that...haven't I seen this before?

So we modeled it a bit after the login screen...it just sort of worked out. That icon part that's missing? Oh, well we've got something in the works for there; you'll just have to wait a bit to find out.

Message too long, second post necessary.


But, I have gotten Forum messages, and all kinds of messages about people wondering how I plan to keep these "puzzles" updated. Along with my creative mind, we also have the player who has a dream...and we at horrification want to make that dream come to life!

Lovely, isn't it? Of course, there is always a fancy Terms and Conditions or Terms of Service that go along with it; but it's nothing too hard to follow! Just simply states to remain creative and appropriate, and your idea may be coming to life!

Hmm...what's this? It appears to be the end of the fun, for now. Help us reach our goal! We are in dire need of GATs and LATs at the moment. There is never enough for any job, however! Just contact me at:

On with the replies!

That looks pretty damn cool :)

Your tone throughout the whole post scares me. It's like you're a doped up tour guide.
(ps: this post is in no way intended to be offensive, I quite like what you've shown)

I hope this goes somewhere. At least it's "original" and it seems like it'd be fun. :D

Oh god yes...I noticed it myself o_o

I was half-asleep...

And thanks @ all the compliments :D

Good luck with your Project. If you and your team try hard, I'm sure it will make the Classic list. I hope others will be interested in developing for you.

Incredible mini games. (4th place!)
Amazing, original chat system.

Alltogether good. I dont doubt we'll see this on hosted soon.

*AHEEEEEM*

We have finished all main systems. We are working on remaining puzzles/some ideas for them, and we are stepping towards completion pretty much after that.


I would appreciate some more feedback. :)

I do indeed like your unique choice of puzzles and thought of mini-games to support your fishing idea. I hope the server continues its positive progress.

MINI GAMES/PUZZLES > EVENTS

Well said, Bookah. (ask what a bookah is if you don't know)

Switch...what is a Bookah?

Anyway Horrified let me know when you and Jazz have made up your mind.

bump, some more feedback would be lovely.

I <3 puzzles! Hopefully there will be a hi-scores ranking. I'd be like #1 if you had tetris :P.

Wow this is pretty cool! Very unique, as others mentioned.

Good luck to ya. Definately a server i will play.
=]

Yes, there will be high scores.

We won't have puzzles like tetris as main game puzzles, they will all be original puzzle ideas made specifically for Graalonline's 2D Environment and capabilities, but games like that won't be ignored, you'll see =)

And thanks DV ;)

It's called "OPEN UP THE PUZZLES BEFORE I MAKE NACHOLAS FLAMEL (from the series of Nicholas Flamel books) MAKE A GREEN-INVISIBLE BALL APPEAR AND BLAST YOUR HEAD TO BITS!!" Good puzzle?

Is this an attempt at an insult because I decided I didn't want to hire you?

If so, don't even reply. Get out of my thread.
