FriendsPM is now in alpha!

[Adam_S.]

Hi all,

A few months back, I announced on this forum the virtual world game FriendsPM, which has been in development since 2012.

Two days ago, we have launched officially into our alpha stage, and now are inviting testers for our game.

If you want to join, simply visit our website and fill out the form! There has been a few technical issues recently, so email [email protected].

Thanks for supporting our game & to many excellent years!

I'm sorry but it looks really tacky,

You can hardly see the text Login or Register

The play button has been cropped horribly.

The time, well why is there even a time like that there?

Using iFrames suggests to me that you think it could be an alternative to jQuery in terms of logging in?

Curious as to why you thought you could turn

into

I can see something yellow I am going to assume it's my name here http://gyazo.com/8733b56715e6b376390a5535454cd272

There are really no positives that I can see, and I definitely don't want to play it

I was expecting a bit more considering you started developing last year.

!Angel,

Thank you for your feedback.

The login page wasn't initially built as we planned. We had to use some alternatives due to a few formatting errors.

We used iframes on the homepage due to the fact we wanted to make an embeddable login, and since tampering with the welcome.php code didn't go so well in our before attempt (in which, the game looked better than it does now.), we had to revert it to a different style.

The engine for spaces isn't fully finished - what you are seeing is a basic demo of the private rooms engine. We have plans for a more complex HTML5 public spaces engine that is integrated with that engine.

The yellow you see, indicates new player. It turns green upon next time you login as that avatar.

We're still working it all out, please note. There is of course, a reason it says "beta".

I know this is not finish, but what is the concept of it? I signed up to look around and there it not much to do, but click the skills than your done!

And I do agree with Angel, the images need some work done to them badly cropped. Other than that if you really worked on this it would be a playable game, but at this moment it does not seem playable, unless I am missing it?

Edit: Would it not be wise, when a user picked a male form body, that only male clothing is available for their avatar? LOL looks funny when you pick a dress...

@lucky3809: Thanks for your feedback.

The "mixed" clothing outfits were done like that due to a technical bug where the default woman head shows a missing PHP image error, even if there.

So while we fix this, there is one main outfit/head catagory.

The site has been updated to incorporate some new technologies, including a slick NWE engine off of a Bootstrap template as well as the virtual world engine - all packaged together as "The Prism Engine".

Thanks guys for the help in getting my game developed!
