Hey Mogri, sorry about the thing in my review. I wrote that before you updated the game, and I just wasn't around my computer and/or the internet enough this month to re-download then re-write a new review. As it was, I purposely refrained from voting on your game because I knew that you had fixed t...

Have barely read the issue, but I just have to be honest and draw everyone's distaste. Am I the only one in the world who would rather READ something than WATCH it? Whenever I go to NHL.com and they have some headline that I find interesting, I always get pissed when it turns out to be a video rathe...

Hey everyone, sorry about the serious delay in responding; I've been away from internet for a few days now. I was hoping to get at least one more game finished by the end of the month, but it wasn't happening. I should have more time in January, and I still plan on writing a review of every one of t...

Just wanted to apologize guys - there's no way I will have votes ready by the 31st. We have some long entries, and I don't want to vote without giving every game a fair chance. This month has been very busy; gigs plus driving home from CO to PA, and trying to see as many folks as possible during the...

Haha, again, great choice of background song. I don't know if you played Tales 1 or not, but I use the main line of that song in that game, and so I started laughing as soon as I heard it in the background. I'm VERY glad Newbie mentioned the thing about death costing less than returning to town. I d...

It is the 31st. It is in JSH's directory post.

Okay, first off, the background music going during the Tales 2 reading is awesome. Secondly, thanks to both of you guys (JSH and Newbie Power) for taking the time to do this. I'm certain everyone appreciates it very much. Thirdly, to Newbie Power, "You're welcome!" for helping you clear ou...

I have downloaded Viridia ch2, and it claims it is an rar file. This might have been mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but I'm asking again - how do I access and play the game? I feel like I've seen RAR files somewhere, but I can't think of where.

Spoonweaver: Thanks for the info! I couldn't find any bugs with any of the scripts while playtesting, but I only ran through the game once, and didn't die a whole lot either, so dying especially has a chance to be buggy. And we just have different ideas on what grinding is, I suppose. To me, grindin...

To Spoonweaver: I'm very interested to know what you meant by a couple things in your ratings on Tales 2. First off, you mention that the scripting is 'clumsy but functional'. I'm curious to know what you found clumsy about it. The item interface? The scripted scenes? Most importantly, did you find ...

Hey, I don't want to be a jerk, but I kind of disagree with using this thread to vote. It's already being used for talking about the games and it's already kind of a pain to find anything in it. I think there should be a new thread to announce voting, and the voting deadline, and then people can rep...

I'm pretty sure it's in the readme and on the game's download page, but I'll say it here to be sure: In Tales 2, everything that can occur after the defeat of the first boss (including the immediate storyline progress) is new. Stats have been rebalanced and bugs have been fixed as well, but we've ag...

Just in case anyone was still thinking about this, it appears to have been fixed in the latest nightly.

Opened up DYWTBAH again this morning, and noticed something pretty terrible - sometimes cancelling your menu choice in battle doesn't work properly...? I can't isolate when this is the case, but occasionally the cancel button (I use ALT, never ESC) will act as a confirmation instead. I've only seen ...

Oh I'm sorry, I might have been unclear. I was trying to say that dying from battles was not a major concern (I 'only' died twice from enemies), whereas the timer was the main issue in every level. Which it seems we agree upon. Reading my old post now, I'm actually not clear on that at all.
