Feature-Packed DSi Chatroom

, , , ...


When I created DSiPaint, I thought I'd port the old Wii chatroom on http://hullbreachonline.com to the DSi (sort of as an after-thought) so that DSi and Wii members of HB Online, TWiiter, and DSOperaSDK, could interact. Little did I know that the chatroom would explode in popularity to where about 20 people chat each night with more coming all the time. Thus, I took it upon myself to completely redesign the chatroom with more features:

  • Optimized for Nintendo DS/DSi Browser
  • Numerous IRC-style commands
  • More than 50 avatars (and growing)
  • More than 20 smilies
  • Several colors for post displays
  • Administrative enhancements

Press Release: HB Online Lite, MMO RPG for the DSi Browser, Is Here!

, , , ...

HullBreach Online, the first MMO RPG for the Wii’s Internet Channel, has been scaled down to run on the Nintendo DSi Browser to play while on-the-go. Even though the graphics have been shrunk, don’t think that means the gameplay has. HB Online Lite boasts all the sectors, planets, missions, tradeable goods, ships, upgrades, asteroids, NPCs, chat functions, and player stats, that its older brother has. In fact, both the game universe and player accounts are shared, so players can seemlessly jump between versions of the game at any time.

HB Online Lite has a completely new interface that favors lower resolution, lower bandwidth, and an all touchscreen interface. Communication with the server has been accelerated, and the backend generates content using the newest technologies, something that dates the older HB Online.

HB Online Lite also contains a few features not present in HB Online. The first is real-time Twiiter feeds. Now players can see posts to the Wii/DS rapid blogging website appear instantly in the communication pane during gameplay. Also shops and shipyards now have NPC dialogs that ensue when selecting purchases or making sales.

Is the mobile version not your style? Don’t worry: Both versions will continue to gain massive amounts of content over the next few weeks. Players may visit the game one day to find Sector Theta Eta empty, and a visit the next day could reveal planets with several missions and goods to trade. New content will be dropped into both versions, becoming available in real-time.

To try HB Online Lite or HB Online now, visit http://hullbreachonline.com . Remember that accounts are shared between games, but Twiiter (http://twiiter.wiioperasdk.com) and DS Opera SDK (http://dsoperasdk.com) accounts are the same as well. Join the other 4800 players today!

I'm about to get some sleep but wanted to let everyone know that HB Online Lite is now live. I will be adding more content tomorrow before issuing a few press releases. If you notice any bugs or have any questions, just message me here or posts a twiit at Twiiter, and I will look over them in the morning.
