| ====== The Improbable Island Wiki of Lies ====== | ====== Legend of the Green Dragon (LotGD) ====== |
| | > http://www.lotgd.net/home.php |
| |
| As opposed to this Wiki, which would never lie to you. Honest. | HERE BE DRAGONS. |
| |
| Another remnant from [[meta:history:pilot|The Pilot]], the Wiki of Lies was... well. It was a wiki. Much like the one you're looking reading now, but with way worse filestructure and way more editors. We had exactly one standard back then(("Keep content in line with the main site's rules.")), so pages were dumped all over the place with no regard for organization. | //Legend of the Green Dragon// is Improbable Island's precursor, and a re-imagining of an even older roleplaying game //[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_of_the_Red_Dragon|Legend of the Red Dragon]]//. |
| |
| Much like [[meta:history:forums|the forums]], the Wiki of Lies broke following a server move in 2017. Accounts couldn't be made from that point forward, and existing editors had to wrestle with a barely functioning interface to get shit done. When the fifth((Maybe??)) server move in 2023 smacked it with //worse// problems, CMJ went "fuck this" and pulled the plug. The Old Wiki continues to exist in readonly form, which you can peruse [[https://oldwiki.improbableisland.com/doku.php?id=start|here]]. | bla bla bla article outline here |

| | * Same overarching gameplay structure. Guy arrives in town, gets told theres a dragon they need to kill, trains against masters until they hit level 14 and then goes off to slay the dragon. kill the dragon, start over from level one. It has more of a fantasy flair than the island's science fiction, of course. As well as the Pilot's weird turn-based system instead of Stamina. But the beats are all there. |
| | * Source of a good number of the island's mechanics and a couple of the NPCs. (e.g. the Forest became the Jungle, the Graveyard became the Failboat, Drive Kills are still referred to as Dragon Kills in the hall of fame, etc.)((Seth the Bard is an exception - he's actually from the original Red Dragon game!)) |
| | * Legend of the Green Dragon is an old game, originally being written in the original php script. (For comparison's sake: at the time of writing, the island runs on PHP8.) Originally created by Eric Stevens, but the code is now being maintained by the Dragonprime Development Team. The Dragonprime engine was released under a Creative Commons license, meaning anyone is free to yoink the code and host their own version of the game. |
| | * And so that's what CMJ did - after getting rid of all the dragons and rejiggering the hell out of the code. |
| | * While there's not much left of the original LotGD code in the game, we wouldn't be here without the hard work of the devs of old. If you enjoy your time on the island, and have some cash to spare, you can find a link to donate to Eric's paypal on the Island's donation page. Just click the coin slot and scroll down a bit. |
