Wow, those are some pretty impressive features! Its definitely worth a download. I'll wait for the next version though.

I'm downloading it now and expect that I'll throw you some comments about it. first and only thing, Some features are pretty unique

Thanks guys!

@UntoldReveries: Yeah, it's probably best to wait for the next version. Most of the features haven't been implemented in the first public release and there are a few major bugs.
I guess what I'm aiming at is for the game to be released in stages (i.e. We release stuff as it gets done) and the game will have a new feature in the next release so you can easily check for updates and be taken to the right one immediately.

@elonah: Looking forward to those comments!

EDIT:

These are the features that have been added to the next version of the game so-far:

Awesome, I'll try it soon

I must say the name is pretty interesting, in my language Novostrana (nova strana) means "a new page"

Really!?! That's awesome! I thought "Novostrana" didn't mean anything.
That's actually quite appropriate for what I've got planned for the project.
I based the name on the name of a country in a game called "Republic: The Revolution" which was called "Novistrana". I just changed the i to an o so I didn't get into trouble because of copyright.

I just finished roaming around, and every features is interesting. One thing that i found not so promising is the mapping,
I can't make so much comments so far because it's an Alpha version, It's not fair if i'll point at every bugs because it's under development. So that's it and good luck to you

Thanks! The maps should get a little more interesting when I start adding enemies and animals to them, but I'm not very good at mapping.

Seems very interesting! And those are some really neat features.
I'll give it a try when I have the time.

Thanks Aura. Most of the features aren't in the current release of the game, but there should be a new release with most of the features in by Christmas. I've got a list of things that need to be done before the next release. There are currently 15 items left on that list.

Very interesting. I like it.
I m going to download it.

Edit: It looks promising. Contact me when you finish the game so I can start working.

Awsum^^
I'll try it ASAP

I'm downloading it right now C:
the features sound awesome C: curse my computer and its slow downloading-ness D:

lol. Curse my computer and it's slow uploading-ness! Took me an hour and a bit to upload that!

This game has amazing features! Downloading it right now! <3

Banking feature and owning property feature are my most favourite features.

A new version of the game is now available. Get it while it's hot!

Lolz i was waiting for it. I will play it after i recover from my fever.

I'm sorry to hear about your fever. Well, let me know what you think when you have a chance to play it.

Hrm... the manual isn't working in the new version... the game claims that the file cannot be found... and since I hadn't played the other version in a long while, I forgot how to do the attacks and everything.
