http://minecraft.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrss/ http://i.imgur.com/BEP6E.png The very lowest thing showing up on the map is a lonely heart-shaped patch of ocean. I didn't notice it before, it looks so strange isolated from the rest of the map. http://i.imgur.com/oEikr.png After zooming in, I noticed a l...

Haw, it does look like a crossbow, now that you mention it! I hadn't noticed. It works out fine - bows, crossbows, and muskets are all used by various enemies in different chapters. The helmet ended up looking like a 20th century aviator, which is a bit too anachronistic, so I'll probably redesign i...

Update 013 (ART) Poacher Sprite http://i.imgur.com/4rXVh.png He's green! I've decided at this point that I will end up using palette swaps in future chapters, with RED corresponding to mercenary fighters, VIOLET for imperial soldiers, GREEN for independent factions, and CYAN for the church militant...

He-ey, I like that last option. I'd use "Best Dungeon" as a judging category with its own unique prize attached. said prize will probably just be a .png of a trophy

I'd say that the only proviso needed for this to function in spirit is, "You have to use the OHR's default movement handling." That works. The rule has been changed. This is such a dumb thread... First we have a poorly placed contest. Was there really a need to make a contest who's due da...

Seconding The Death of Von Stabbingmore, I just downloaded it and it looks pretty cool.

I remember stumbling onto that page a while back somehow, from your Hamster Republic home site or something, and thinking "that looks pretty neat! I love the cover illustration, it's so James" and then doing nothing about it because I didn't know how to pay for things online. You're asking...

I'm pretty sure this is going to be a landslide for Wandering Hamster. How has it not gotten GotM yet? I guess everyone just assumed "it's probably already been GotM" and never bothered nominating it.

That being said, I'm re-nominating Walthros.

Why does this need to be so complicated? Sure, the idea of what an RPG is can be debated to no end, but don't forget that you're working with the OHRRPGCE, which is explicitly tailor-made for building RPGs similar to Final Fantasy IV. You can try to make something different from what it's built for,...

Seek out some Magma Cubes and kill the big ones for a shot at some Magma Cream! The Fire Resistance potions are powerful! Add some redstone, and you'll basically be able to swim in lava for eight minutes!
Oh, and by the way, the latest snapshot release allows Nether Wart to grow anywhere. Lucky you!

Update 012 (STORY?) Attacks w/ Dialogue http://i.imgur.com/zDL0z.png (Foreword: Don't examine the screenshot too closely. Very little about it will be retained in the final version.) This is more a gameplay thing than a story thing, but it was pretty nifty coming up with it, so I will share it here...

Mad Cow Disease, the RPG

I'd like to announce that the demo version of my HotOHR game, Universal Wars, is finally ready for download. Hope you enjoy. The battles in this game take so long to finish, I found the time to find this thread, find your post, and reply to it in the middle of a boss fight . Seriously, up the speed...

NeoSpade, as much as I liked the Wiki's HowTo on dungeons and would like to see a similar process happen here, it would complicate things too much. We have a simple plan with a simple goal: make dungeons using VoM resources and submit them for people to play through, enjoy, and hopefully learn from....
