:: Missing Person Quest Released
Posted Wednesday, January 26, 2005 by Comit

After several days of hard scripting, SW City's first serious game featuring php is released.

The player starts out in East Ending, an urban area, and finds Missing Person posters dotted around. After that it's a matter of following the clues, investigation, and interviewing NPCs. Players may also log into a S.U.T. (a computer kiosk station dotted around town) to view their inventory, quest status, and other information. Through a cookie system, any changes the quest made in the world will remain even after logging out of AW. It's a single player game, and tourists are welcome to play too.

You can start at AW 1659s 4787e 180 or click here.

Special thanks to Selanit who made the code's foundation and taught us how to use it.

:: SW City NPC - Debut!
Posted Sunday, January 23, 2005 by Syntax

With the expertese programming help of Selanit, I completed the first NPC's in SW City using the PHP code supplied to us by Sel (the real first-first NPC's being the Nimbusians at Sel's testing grounds).

The NPC's that I created in SW City are two simple nougats -- Henry and Gary. You can find Henry in the apartments right next to the bowling alley at East Ending, Velothi Island (1663s 4775e). Just talk to him and he'll put you on a little mission.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.rwx as well, so look for more stuff to be developed in the future.

Today, New Arklay City (NAC) was officially admitted into the Scarabian Republic - a collection of towns that use the same government system and work together to build each other's community. SW City applauds the city's good advertising efforts and healthy city population growth, and smooth transition into the new government system.
