Legend - Website Design

The website layout for the follow-up to Anathema Online. This time around, I'm going for a heavier "RPG" style game, with an emphasis on pre-written content, NPC AI and a deeper single player experience. Of course, it will still carry the same multiplayer aspects as AO, for the most part.

For those of you who are not familiar with Anathema Online, it was a text-based freeform RPG that was set up in a post-by-post environment, a lot like traditional message boards. RPG features such as an explorable map, fighting system, and *much* more were added to give a freeform setting more structure. Unfortunately, I abandoned AO because of an excess of school work, and the fact that I wanted to concentrate more on what has now become Legend. AO is still up and running, though with no real administration aside from me paying a glance or two every now and then; Anathema Online.

Currently I'm working on coding the underlying system (the general structure of towns, buildings, rooms, and the avatar systems). Once this is done, I'll move onto working on the NPC AI, which should take plenty of time, as this section is especially ambitious. Then comes the pre-written content and storyline aspects, which will take even longer.

Over all, I have no idea how long this project will take, but I expect it will be well over a year, if not two.
