What will Bomy Island will be like?

[Oinkness]

Hi there. Forgive me for asking as I see you like your forum to be somewhat empty, but I remember playing Graal2001... I actually originally upgraded to play Graal2001 back in 2001. It went through a lot of phases and of course evolutions as new technology and areas were introduced with new developers.

My real question for you is, what, if anything, from the original Graal2001 will be left intact? And what new developments, or upgrades, have been introduced if it is safe to ask this early?

It looks quite similar. Unfortunately nobody will ever see it because by the time they're finished so will Graal Online.

Various threads around explaining. This thread should answer the most of your questions. If you've got any more questions however, feel free to ask.

Aye you're probably right, especially with the size of the overworld and the complete lack of talented LAT around who can work in a similar style. We're getting closer than most revivials do though.

People need to quit complaining about how long Bomy Island is taking. It is taking time for a reason. Rufus and everyone are doing the best they can. Complaining does nothing but make it harder on him and the other Devs. Idiots.

In this case we have a legitimate reason to complain. How long has this team been working on Bomy Moon? 2 years?

This team has been working for the last 6 months.

I might have been exaggerating when I said two years but it has certainly been more than one. I haven't touched Graal since around Christmas and you guys were working on it for awhile even then.

Koni was heading the BI revival for a long time... then he just disappeared because of school and such and it BI just kind of went dormant. Only recently has anyone decided to take his work and do something with it.

So mainly in the last 6months to a year since Koni disappearance there has been no development at all. Or at least no development that has really taken it to the next step/worth mentioning.

Koni was my last hope on graal development.

R.I.P My Hopes.

You're wrong.

Far from it. It was slightly obvious after Oasis that being sceptical about Koni's ability to create and make public a Graal project was a far position to take.

Konidias did a lot of work for Graal2001, and Graal in general. It's pretty stupid to say this with him leaving Bomy Island nowhere near finished, but I don't think it's exactly fair to judge his ability to develop entirely on a few failed projects. I think we've all failed in a few projects, it's just Konidias' hurt more because they seemed to have the potential for being great ones, and they generally had a huge hype. I still believe that Konidias is a good developer, but sometimes the motivation is just killed and I think everyone can understand that.

Oh, yes, the skills he has are great, and he is a good developer. But after Oasis I gave up hoping for anything. He unfortunately came across as being a little exclusive, perhaps because he knew few people could meet his standards - but then that limits the likelihood of success unfortunately.

Nice levels above btw :P

koni had really high standards. i worked for him doing levels for BI for a few months and the work we gave me and wanted to get done was too much. It was like we wanted me to be full time level maker for Graal and have no real life lol. but yeah i hope BI can make it and if you guys need help with levels let me know maybe i can submit an app again?....this is my first post in like a year lol
