RPG Playground screenplays now have an extra action that can teleport the hero to another level. In your story, a wizard could for example magically transport the hero to another dimension.

The action is on the hero and pretty straight forward:

hero teleports to door "YourDoor" at "YourLevel"

With YourLevel as the target level, and YourDoor as the target door. You just need to correctly type in the door and level names.

To make things easy, the “Insert Action” button on top of the screenplay dialog now also features this new action. Select your hero as subject, and after that you can select the “teleports to …” action. No typing required!

Now that this is finished, my next task is to let the hero swing a sword! I know a lot of you have been waiting for combat, so expect some progress on that soon :).

As you might know, RPG Playground is currently using Adobe Flash in your web browser. But unfortunately, yesterday Adobe announced that they will discontinue Flash in 2020. This means I have to port RPG Playground to another platform.

Don’t panic, I saw this coming a long time ago. I knew that at a certain point I had to port RPG Playground to something else. Due to how I implemented it, it will not take a super amount of work, and I will do it while implementing combat.

It might also have the nice benefit that you will be able to play RPG Playground games on your mobile phone and tablet! 🙂

But just to make sure, can everyone check if you can play Adventureroads on your computer? I will use that same HTML5 technology with the same libraries. But I want to make sure that your system can run it. And if possible, also check your mobile phone or tablet. If it works, this will mean you will be able to play RPG Playground on those devices too.

Let me know in the comments or through social media if this game works or not. Thanks!
