talesrunner- maps

In TalesRunner, gaming on October 1, 2008 at 2:38 am

forgot to post this :)

Open Beta Maps Confirmed! [ September 22, 2008 ]

There was 1 major lesson that the Tales Runner team learned during last month’s closed beta. Well, 2 actually.

Lesson 1: There were not enough maps. We had 6 in place to get everyone used to the game but we didn’t fully take into account how often people would be playing and how many people were actually going to join the CB. There were a lot of you and you all played a lot! Thanks again for that!

Lesson 2: It is totally possible to survive on Red Bull, cheeseburgers, and willpower for at least 2 weeks straight. Although it messes up your social life and no one wants to sit next to you on the bus.

We’ll be applying our recently acquired knowledge to the Open Beta (Oct.16).

And we’ll be carpooling from now on too. People on the bus are just plain mean.

So…which maps are coming out?

Daddy
Fury of Daddy Octopus
:

Not only will you have to run away from this screen devouring behemoth but you’ll have to dodge his lightning attacks!

Hurdles
Hurdles:

Clear the hurdles but be ready because there are more just around the bend. Run too fast and you’ll trip on a hurdle; run too slow and other Runners will pass right by you.

Jack
Jack and the Beanstalk:


Race up the famous Beanstalk while dodging other racers and giant caterpillars!
Speed
Speed:

This is the most basic Tales Runner map and is perfect for people who are new to the Tales Runner story.

Brothers
The Two Brothers:

This is the map to play for beginners that are looking for a good way to get accustomed to the game.

Brothers2
The Two Brothers Pt. 2:

This map comes complete with a pit that prevents anyone from moving faster than a slow jog and demons of all sizes.

Snow
The Snow Girl:


Choose between speed boosts and Capsule Items as you make your way down a mountain covered in logs, trees, and bottomless pits.
Snow2
The Snow Girl 2:

Race down the Snow Girl’s mountain but watch out for those crazy long-jumps. Take the high road to avoid being slowed down by packed snow.
SunAndMoon
Sun and Moon:

Will you pick up the rice cakes and give them to the tigers blocking your path?

Or will you stick with Capsule Items and fight your way to the finish?

Prince
The Frog Prince:


You can’t finish the race without retrieving the Princess’s golden ball so make sure to pick one up.

talesrunner – help out gms and the game

opportunity to spread word about a great game and get ingame prizes/your own section of their forum

reposted from that forum to help spread the word!

Sl0th and TR need your help.

New postby Sl0th on Wed Sep 10, 2008 6:22 pm

Hey there Runners,

You ever wish you could have your own little section of the forums? Something that everyone could see but only you and the people you select could have access to?

Well here’s your chance. My bosses are calling it “Spread the Word”. I’m calling it “Sl0th’s Army”. You decide which you want to be part of. ;)

Let’s start with the prizes:

A section of the forums dedicated to your personal use for 1 month (There will still be rules enforced.)
Bonus TR
1 Bonus Item (To be discussed and decided on a case by case basis.)

And on to penalties:

If your section of the forum is dead, I’ll remove it. No point in wasting bandwidth right?.

Now, down to business:

To qualify you must present a website, forum, or community that you are an active part of.
If I select you, I’ll ask you to let your individual communities know about Tales Runner.
After a week I’ll review the impact your Tales Runner campaign.
If I like the work you’ve done you’ll receive the prizes mentioned at the start of this post.

Notes/Rules:

There can be only 4 winners.
Don’t use other official gPotato game sites.
Send me a forum PM if you are interested.
Yes, I know this is rather shameless. But meh, at least you get prizes for helping us market our game. ;)

Postby Sl0th on Thu Sep 04, 2008 6:16 pm

We are currently working with our engineers to confirm the IP addresses of all the prize winners. Unfortunately, we cannot send prizes to people out of the country so we need to know who is a valid winner and who is not.

Once that is settled, we’ll make a post to announce everyone.

I’ll even post a picture of cake. ;)

Thanks for your patience with this folks. I really do appreciate it.

Tales Runner Event: Hide and Seek!

Postby Sl0th on Thu Aug 21, 2008 8:41 pm

Friday 8.21.2008, 11am, 12pm, 4pm, 5pm.

Come get us!

BigHead, Gneumatic, FlyingPig, and Sl0th will be hiding in the Tales Runner Park. It’s up to you to come find us!

Rules:

1.)We’ll be asking everyone to leave town.
2.)Then we’ll hide.
3.)Then we’ll tell everyone to come back and find us.

Easy right? Sorta.

4.) You’ll have to find a specific GM. The other 3 will be there as decoys. (The GM you have to find will be announced at the time of the event.)
5.) Once you find the correct GM put a leash on them by “Following” and shout “Tag!”. Only players that follow these steps correctly will be allowed to win.
6.) After the events are over we ask that the winners email us the following information to trcommunity@gala-net.com:

Mailing Address:
Account Name:
Nickname:
Email Address:

[Don't disrupt the event please folks. It'd be really unfortunate to have to remove someone from the Closed Beta simply because they couldn't follow very simple directions.]

After each Hide and Seek event I’ll be hosting a “Race the GM” race. You’ll be going up against me in the Octopus map! No items! Just foot power!

Prizes:

Hide and Seek:

30,000 TR! (and 5,000 bonus TR if you post a screenshot of the event on the Tales Runner forums!)

Race the GM (Octopus Map):

Auzentech X-Fi Plosion 7.1 Cinema Sound Card. (4 total)

*Note: Physical prizes (eg. the sound cards) can only be distributed to Runner that live in the contingent (connected) United States. The rules and details of these contests can change at any time. We’ll do our best to warn you if that happens.

That’s just about it folks. Feel free to PM me on the forums if you have any questions.

PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE!

Question: GM! GM! How do I “Follow” someone?

Right Click on someone (while in Tales Runner Park) and click follow:
