I hear you, Shadowii. More than likely, the biggest reason there has been no dramatic change to the Pokemon formula is because it's way too successful on the market. It's a franchise bigger than I can imagine, and anything remotely radical for the series is quickly given the boot. Anyone remember Co...

No, I'm not about to plug my own games

Surlaw Armageddon by Surlaw is the sequel to Walthros and about as good as its predecessor, though much darker in tone. For some reason I was completely unaware of this, I must play it very soon. Leonhart, you're basically a relic from the OHR's past, right? I don't mean to offend; I think that's a...

EXTREEEEEME TVTROPES LINKIFICATION

Pardon me if this is slightly off-topic. I'm kind of leapfrogging off of Nathan here. One of the many properties of an interesting hero/villain is that the audience is unable to unanimously side with one or the other. The villain is a serial killer, but spreads the virtues of oral hygiene and donate...

No I'm not planning anything, I'm just good at foresight

EDIT: An OHR e-magazine will be in circulation when the "groove" comes back. It might not be soon, and it might not be Hamsterspeak. But when it happens, I'm sure it'll be phenomenal. Anyway, back to the original post. I agree with Spoonweaver, especially on this point. People saying they'...

Baconlabs continues an OHR drawing spree; AND HE'S LATE

IIIIIT'S APRIL! Let's do another round of beautiful fan-art together. Tell me what to draw, and I'll take a crack at it. GUIDELINES: To request my artistic handiwork, PM me over Slime Salad or Super Walrus Land (I don't check Castle Paradox anymore) or email me at mboyd[dot]yes[at]gmail[dot]com. De...

Re: help me un-suck my game!

[Final Dragon Legacy] was going to be a prequel to my original project. ... when i decided to take [Final Dragon Legacy] more seriously as a project, i half-arsed the story ... i guess i got lost somewhere along the way? I think this speaks for itself. Let me adjust my suggestion: It seems you've a...

Ah, that reminds me of my first game. Here's my advice. If you're having trouble coming up with new material for an existing game, you might want to try starting from the beginning and working with a new setting and a new plot. If you're short on resources (especially graphics), you could still have...

Really? Are you, the creator, admitting that the game doesn't make sense to you, the creator?
If this is true, then you've got a simple (but not necessarily easy) goal to fulfill - redo the framework of your game and story so that it makes sense to you.

Mr. Karr, I admire your philosophy and gender-neutral standpoint towards this issue. It's kind of remarkable now that you've remarked on it.
Of course, if it were me, I'd opt to give them a somewhat different swimsuit well-suited for particularly furry persons.

These URLs boggle my mind, which erupts into a thousand tiny, confused bits of code. The Alien proceeds to eat them.

I used CamStudio for the screen capture, I've done it before in my reviews for Skyfall and Apophenia. Only difference is I omitted audio, since it was originally an hour-long recording. (For one enemy sprite?! Now I know I was on the wrong track! I shouldn't bother with prettying things up with Phot...

I want to encourage anybody who is working on enemy sprites to record Youtube videos of themselves working on sprites. I think it would be a fantastic learning tool for people to be able to watch sprites emerging pixel-by-pixel.) I, um... I tried! I really did! Something went pretty terribly wrong,...
