Posting this to put the client out to the public, apparently can't post download links within a project post so here I am.
Still considered project/beta but the server is playable and it'd be nice to have some players around for debugging purposes :)

For more media please check out the[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] I'll swap the media over to this post when I'm more confidently out of the project phase, however since kingdoms are frequently asked about, I'll post that here as well:
♕ Kingdoms ♕
Spoiler for Content:
Kingdoms are my own twist on houses, you do not own a Kingdom as you would a house, instead you rent one for 24 hours at a time for a fee. They are fully customizable and filled with content.
Available Content
- Kingdombuilder
- Instanced PVM
- Perks and Bonuses
- Royal Chest
- Royal Trough
- Autominer
- Mining and Smithing
- Woodcutting
- Fishing
- Farming
- Prayer Altar and Healing Fountains
- Teleportation
- Banking
Notes
Your rent timer depletes whether you are online or not.
Upon renting a kingdom, you receive Royalty experience, access to the Kingdombuilder and of course 24 hours access time to your kingdom.
You can extend your rent by 24 hours within the last hour before your rent expires and doing so will result in a 1m discount and also accumulates consecutive days, accumulating consecutive days will reward certain bonuses.
Players are allowed to join other players kingdoms; unless locked by the owner. Some content is shareable as well, such as the altar.
Upon account creation, you will receive a free 24 hours.
Spoiler for Kingdombuilder:
The Kingdombuilder allows you to fully customize your Kingdom layout, like all Kingdom content, this can only be accessed while renting. At the moment the builder is accessed via the ::kingdombuilder command but this will be removed after I redesign the Kingdom panel interface
Notes
Your layout will remain saved whether you have access time or not.
Upon first-time renting (account creation), your layout will consist of only an exit portal.
Any objects associated with Kingdoms can be placed (or removed) and rotated to your liking.
Here's a brief video tutorial [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Spoiler for Royalty Skill:
Royalty is essentially a test of loyalty. You receive royalty experience through renting.
Notes
Royalty unlocks new objects for your kingdom such as the Gilded Altar or Bank Booth.
The base XP rate per 24 hour rent is 100k.
If you're extending your rent during the one hour ext you will accumulate consecutive days, and for every consecutive day you will get an additional 20k royalty exp on-top of the base 100k.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] I plan on incorporating more XP gaining methods (Quests for example).
Spoiler for PVM Instance:
One of the main features of Kingdoms is the PVM instance. Here, various monsters and bosses can be unlocked for instancing.
Notes
You will by default have one monster unlocked for instancing.
Unlocking other NPCs located in the selection interface requires at least 500 kills of the specified NPC outside of the Kingdom.
You can check how many kills you need by clicking on the locked monster, a message will be displayed in chat.
Monsters within the instance have a shorter respawn delay than those located outside the Kingdom.
You do not lose items from dying within the instance as you do outside of the Kingdom, instead you are teleported back to the main kingdom area.
Instanced monsters drop Royal Keys which unlock the Royal Chest. These are very rare, but less so when killing bosses.
The "Double drop rate" perk will double your drop rate within the instance while active.[I]
Slayer Exception: If you receive a slayer task of one of the monsters listed in the Slayer Monsters tab, said monster will become unlocked for instancing UNTIL your task is completed, at that point you will be kicked from the instance (Unless unlocked via the killcount requirement).
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] I plan on adding more regular monsters and bosses as well as a hefty reward for those who are able to unlock every monster.
Spoiler for Perks and Bonuses:
Perks
Perks are basically 2 hour boosts that provide some advantage while in a kingdom, note that these perk timers deplete whether you're online or not, you cannot stack time either, you can only re-activate a perk once it is depleted.
Double Experience Provides double experience in all skilling related activities within the kingdom
Double Resources Provides double resources from all activities that harvest resources, such as woodcutting. This includes the Autominer and Royal Trough.
Double Drop Rate Perk Doubles your drop rate within the PVM Instance. This stacks with other drop rate boosting content such as the ring of wealth.
I may add a "Instance Unlock Perk" which will allow you to instance one of any PVM Monster that is currently locked for 2 hours. [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Bonuses
Bonuses are given through Consecutive Days rented however if you miss a payment, your consecutive days gets reset and so do your bonuses.
+250,000 coins added to royal trough capacity for each consecutive day
+100 increased autominer capacity for each consecutive day
+20,000 Royalty experience upon extending rent for every consecutive day
More bonuses will be added, I have yet to figure out which. I am considering check-point bonuses, for example 5+ consecutive days resulting in auto-banking drops within the PVM Instance.
Spoiler for Royal Chest:
The royal chest is a kingdom specific rewards chest, unlocked only by a royal key which are obtainable as drops within the PVM instance.
I am still deciding on exactly which rewards this will contain but the current rewards are:
Double Experience Perk(common)
Double Resources Perk(uncommon)
Double Drop Rate Perk(rare)
I am considering adding Royalty experience as well as "Kingdom Passes" which depending on rarity would add time to your rent (1hr, 12hr, 24hr)
The royal trough is simply an AFK activity, by default the trough contains 1mil coins within, once depleted it takes an hour to refill. At its base, this does not give enough gold to even cover your rent, so its not recommended relying on this, however it is a nice little source of income when you don't feel like doing anything.
Notes
Gives a base amount of 150 coins per action
For every consecutive day, the trough will add 250k to its max capacity
This does not give thieving experience, however thieving affects the amount of coins you get per action. For every 10 levels, you will get an additional 5 coins per action, with 99 thieving you get +100 coins per action for a total of 250 coins per action.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Note: I have double resources perk active as well as 99 thieving, resulting in 500 coins per grab ((150 base + 100 from 99 thieving) * 2 from double)
Spoiler for Autominer:
The autominer is as the name suggests, it mines automatically. It has only two ore options: Holy and Unholy ore, these are custom ores and are of the highest tier (90). However you do not need level 90 mining requirement for it to get to work. The gear they smith into will require a hefty amount of ore and the autominer will aid you in this.
Notes
Mines one ore every 1 minute 30 seconds WHILE ONLINE, or one ore every 5 minutes WHILE OFFLINE
Max capacity of 100 by default without consecutive days.
Ores can be collected via the Kingdom entrance, this way you can collect any ore that might've been mined before your rent expired.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Received two in one action, Double Resources Perk affects autominer during its duration as well. 1100 capacity because I have 11 consecutive days.
Spoiler for Altars:
Same as RS. The best prayer experience in game comes from altars. There are only two altars and are kingdom and donator-zone restricted. By default, you have access to the Wooden Altar which provides a 1.2x exp gain as opposed to burying, but with 75 royalty, you unlock the Gilded Altar which provides a 2x exp gain.
If renting everyday (without the 1 hour extension discount period) 75 royalty would take about 12 days.
Any player can use other players Kingdom altars(If the tenant of said kingdom is allowing visitors)
Spoiler for Fishing:
Fishing is available within the kingdom and it's rather straight forward to do. Simply select the fish you want to fish for and begin fishing (if you meet the level requirement and have the needed tool of course).
Notes
There are no requirements to placing this object.
Like all skilling activities, this is affected by the Double Experience/Resource perks.
Usable by all visitors, they may select their own fish as well.
Downloads the cache but doesn't keep loading past 2%
Hmm still? I've had 10+ players able to join so far. I can only assume this may be an issue on your end; download/firewall restrictions? If I'm not mistaken 2% typically signifies failure while downloading cache. Have you tried first deleting the previous cache from your earlier attempts prior to the changes I made?

I'm experiencing the same issue as well, where it's stuck at "Checking for updates - 2%". Deleting the cache didn't seem to help.
For me at least, it seems to be an OS problem. I'm trying to play on Ubuntu, but when I switched over to a Win7 machine and tried on there, it worked just fine. I have no idea if that's the same issue that SilverNova is facing, though.

Ah, interesting... I'm not seeing anything that appears to be os-specific. Thank you for bringing that up. and sorry about that linux users, I'll be looking into it!

Latest Updates [18/04/2020]
Bug Fixes:
✦ Any monster available in the Kingdom PVM Instance, if given as a slayer task, will be unlocked for use until your task ends (unless you have the killcount requirement for permanent unlock)
✦ The unlock killcount for PVM instance monsters is now set to 300
✦ AOE staff model has been cleaned up (Note I will be selling the first 3 staffs for 170m each)
✦ The killcount for GWD bosses entrance has been reduced to 10 for gold donators (20 for silver and 30 for non-donators)
✦ The Kingdom autominer will no longer mine ores unless you have one placed in your kingdom
✦ Both of the fremennik dungeon shortcuts now work (with the required agility level)
✦ Amulet of glory no longer takes you behind the castle walls at home
✦ Living rock cavern rope now works (Teleport can also be found in the Mining and Fishing skilling teleports)
✦ Fixed a few hidden bugs with the builder line tool
✦ A bug that caused players to die prior to their health reaching 0 has been fixed.
New Content:
- Kingdom Passes
✦ Kingdom Passes are new items rewarded from the royal chest.
✦ Their rarity follows the time you receive (common, uncommon, rare).
✦ When used, you will be granted the correspoding time to your kingdom access time. This time stacks with any current time you may already have.
✦ They grant royalty experience, amount is dependent on time (currently: 4k, 34k, 100k) these amounts are not affected by dxp.
✦ Currently only available from royal chest and gold point shop, but may see future reward implementations.
- Advanced Gnome Agility Course:
The advanced gnome course has been added. It is located at the regular gnome course, however it requires level 85 agility to use. It consists of 3 obstacles and starts on the top platform of the tree (the second obstacle after climbing the net) you will receive 12,240 XP per lap which is only roughly 800 exp more than the wildy course, however it takes on average 17 seconds quicker to complete.
Other:
✦ The ring of wealth (i), made by using "magic imbuent" with a regular ring of wealth. Magic imbuent can be purchased from the gold point shop (donator shop). The ring of wealth (i), unlike it's non-imbued version does NOT deplete in charges. It does NOT give an additional drop rate bonus, BUT it does save you the inconvenience of needing to recharge every 100 kills as well as the 250k gp recharge fee (which adds up fairly quickly). It is also untradeable... Also note that magic imbuent is a one-time purchase and can be used on all imbue-able rings IE: archers, berserker, seers rings.
Now using a client installer/launcher/updater. This will eliminate the need for users to have to manually download new versions of the client when updated. Please, if you're currently using the regular client, delete it and use this launcher any time you wish to play the game! Please let me know if experiencing any issues with it.
Thank you :)

Hello everyone!
Jake is back at it again with just a small update.
He has added the new kingdom panel interface. It is not done, only "Status" and the bottom buttons are functional, however it has all the core functionality done and does everything the previous panel does, so I decided to put it in at its current state. The Kingdom entrance no longer contains any options other than enter and panel, everything else will be done through the panel itself, this also includes the removal of the ::kingdombuilder command.
Kingdom Daily Tasks have arrived. These tasks are global, meaning everyone has the same task. This provides another method to level your royalty, as well as brings another social possibility to the table. You can view the task and your progress via the Kingdom Panel.
Some things to note:
Tasks are changed every 24 hours.
You do not have to be renting a kingdom to do share-able content related tasks (such as mining and woodcutting), you can use someone elses kingdom if they are so kind.
You get royalty xp for every progress towards task completion, this xp rate is dependent on the tier you are working from. For example, if the task is to mine ores: Mining copper ore will result in 34 royalty xp per ore, whereas mining runite will result in 260 royalty xp per ore.
The rewards are the same regardless of the route you take, so the decision is up you: Gain Royalty XP or gain quicker rewards.
Currently the only rewards for each task completion are 1m coins and 3 royal keys. These will change and fluctuate based on task when I get a feel for the system in use, as well as some feedback from the players.
Double Exp Perk and Double Resources Perk affect your progress. Double Exp will double the royalty xp you receive per progress, and double resources will count as two progressions per one (for tasks that harvest resources, so this will not apply to a slayer related task).
The current tasks:
Mine 250 ores
Chop 250 logs
Complete 20 slayer tasks
I will be adding more tasks and I'd love to get some task suggestions. Currently, tasks are randomized which only prevent getting the same task two days in a row, but you can get the same task on the third day. This may be changed to a chronological order, meaning it works down the entire list of tasks, once reaching the last, it starts up from the top. This would make the next upcoming task predictable.
Got some of the big ones out of the way! 1st) We now have a website. No forums as of yet, but at least there's a domain and webpage (which needs some serious design work if I might add) [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] it's essentially just a half-assed homepage with a download link at the moment.
2nd Voting is now implemented. You can find the vote link in the top of client in the "Links" tab, or you can use the ::vote command. Voting on at least 5 sites will grant you a vote token and an increase in your vote count. You can check if you've voted enough times to claim your vote by typing ::checkvote if you have not reached 5 sites yet, it will notify you, otherwise your vote token will be sent to your bank.
3rd) Auto-donation is also now available via a webstore. You can also find this link in the clients menu bar, or you can optionally use the :: donate command. Once transaction is completed, give it a few moments and then use the ::claim command.
Feel free to give any pointers :) [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

In other tragic news, Jake/[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Seeing as there isn’t a lot I can do right now with my computer in it’s current state and I won’t be getting all of my parts in for my new build until the end of this month hopefully if all goes as planned. I’ve been working on some small stuff and tinkering around with some client sided things here and there.
I figured out communicating key events, which was actually really simple, but now:
You can use your arrow keys to move around the tile selection cursor within the kingdombuilder. (More key functionality to come)
You can skip dialogue with the space bar.
You can close any screen/chat interface BUT bank (for now) with esc.
Looking forward to my new PC so I can really get back to work on this!

KingdomBuilder V2.0 perhaps? This would eliminate the spacing issue that comes with the interface style builder, allowing for some kingdom expansion, plus its just pretty fun. **CONCEPT/TESTING NOT SERVER FEATURE JUST YET** currently 99% client side
