Yesterday, AcidBurn and me tested out my server.
Although some small issue arose, it seemed to work great overall!
It was very nice to walk in Hawksmouth again, after so many years. Solving 6 riddles, killing old Willfred, or slap the drunken dock workers. All the Spellborn memories got back to me in a couple of minutes Smile

The next steps will be to setup the dedicated server.
This server was just a locally hosted one by myself, and only contained the Hawksmouth area for now.

We'll keep you guys posted!]]>

Last week I was searching for footage of Spellborn to add to my portfolio. I stumbled upon this forum and was amazed that people actually picked up this game again!
I've read that you guys are looking for source code, but I got to disappoint you, I don't have it.

What I do have is a near complete backup of all the assets used in the game. Including all textures.
Everything is made in 3DsMax and Photoshop.

If you need anything, feel free to pm me and I can see what I can do Wink

Check out some examples here:

I'm still very much involved in uni-work, about to work on my bachelor thesis, but during the last week i felt the need to work on something challenging. 
I didn't plan to work on spellborn, as i always invest too much time once i start and i'm a bit down because of the recent events.
Not sure why then, but i sat down for some afternoons, i guess feeling nostalgic, and looked into the package reader. And actually managed to improve it. 
I wrote a small converter for the sdk files (excluding class methods, just appended them as comment) and used some reflection to read the files. It works surprisingly well.
I'll just leave it here. Maybe it's useful to somene who finds it and feels motivated to continue the project.

We are currently at a point, where we need your feedback as we need to prioritize what we work on with what we have and to see what's even worth looking at.
What feature would you wish the server to have the most; what would you dream of doing if it was there?
Exploring, fighting other players, leveling/killing mobs, questing, crafting, fighting dungeonbosses, jumping off cliffs, playing minigames, staring at trees ..?

Your Feedback will also and most importantly give us an estimate of how many potential players are remaining and/or waiting and what they expect. And if it's worth continuing.

Or just do it the regular github way (fork/pullrequest)

So, coders among the spellborn fans, we invite you to help this project solidify :-)
