Hello! I'd like to suggest adding a BYOND forum section. I'm sure that there are a lot of people who still enjoy classic 2D games and I know that most of you may not know what BYOND is and what it is for, so I will write a little review(kinda like A/Q) about it.

Q: What is BYOND?
A: BYOND is a community for making & playing 2D online multiplayer games. As a player you get to enjoy hundreds of games made by normal people and players just like you. As a developer you get to create your own game with unique features using an easy-to-learn programming language, built-in support. built-in map engine and lots of developer tools. IT'S COMPLETELY FREE

Q: How to get started?
A: You need to go to and download the free client. Then in the same website register and account and then activate it from the email you've received.

Q: What featured does it have?
A: BYOND has featured no other game maker has. It is completely free, it has free developer tools, you can make profit from it, the programming language is easy to learn and yet powerful, BYOND has built-in support. Also the client of BYOND support a 'pager' which is kind of a messenger where you can send messages and invite people to your game. It has a friend function, bookmarks and personal hub where you can post info about you and your games.

Q: What kind of games does BYOND offer?
A: From my experience I can say that there are a lot of types and genres. RPG games, TD games, MMORPG games (Like DBZ, Bleach, Naruto games and etc), Survival games, Zombie games, RTS games, Shooting games and etc.

Q: What OS does BYOND support?
A: BYOND supports: Win98/2000/XP/Vista/7

That's all I can think of now, I really hope that you will vouch for this. If you have any other questions about BYOND feel free to post them in the thread.



Best regards

If it is easy to make games, then it might inspire developers that just started to develop. If this is the case, I'll give it a go as well. :)

Yeah it is .. normally I'm not much into coding, but I've started studying it. It kinda similar to java script & C++, but a bit easier, if you know English well enough you can learn it easily.

Reading into existing projects you catch on pretty quick. Tho for w/e reason alot of people don't try out new stuff :/ First thing I did was making things noone had, like a mirror that would actually show yourself in it :thumbup1:

On the byond site there are alot of sources you can grab, I think by downloading some of those you already got a game, AI systems, battle system, login system, free sprites, all that, im sure some games can still be downloaded and then changed to your liking.

Sorry to disagree with your idea mate but I think it's just a puzzle thing and graphics like a minecraft. I am not really disagreeing this idea, just telling what I've seen in their site.

Things I can say is, good luck and hopefully to have this section suggested by you.
