Good points! I knew I was forgetting something balance-related. I can't wait to test everything. Speaking of balance, another idea I had regarding bosses was to give the mercenary character a particular niche ability (brute strength, dodginess, NUKE-like magic) and then having the boss be completely...

Gameplay and Hiring

I was milling around, trying to write for Viridia , when I realized that some of my characters are blatantly unimportant; I couldn't find a decent, lengthy story to attach to them! What do I do?, I said to myself. I don't wanna get rid of them, but I don't want to write for them either. So then I go...

I can't say for sure unti I've seen them in action, but they look like they'll animate quite poorly. I just noticed that some of the characters have capes. And when they move from side to side, the capes don't move. Characters with long hair have the same problem, I'd like to see it fixed. Hair and...

So I finally got around to beating Blazing Sword, with all Gaiden chapters completed. And now I'm working on finishing Sword of Seals! I'm on the Zephiel chapter right now, and I've got a feeling that I ended up making the game much easier than it should have been by abusing save states and giving D...

Here are some walkabouts I've been working on. They're finally getting closer to the quality I want, but I think they still need some improvement. Any suggestions? They look great. The top concerns that you'll probably want to follow are: -Are they your style? Can you continue with this style for e...

Actually if there's one feature I could have it would be a color replace feature for maptiles, to automatically turn all pixels of one color into another of your choice. Recoloring tiles with lots of pixel noise in them is kind of horrible. THIS. Since there's no alpha channel to work with, all of ...

NCW, I share your feelings about the change in camera controls and explorable worlds. Super Mario Galaxy [2] and Super Mario 64 are quite different, and I would enjoy playing a new game based on the experience that 64 gave me. At the same time, the Galaxy games are a lot more focused and challenging...

Not enough people use this to make it helpful, and too many that do just give everything a 1 or a 5, skewing the averages rather horribly. That must be why Youtube switched over to a Like/Dislike system. I wonder if the same would work here? Buuut that's something for another thread. On topic, I've...

And who's this guy? And why does he look like he'll be one of the best units in the game?
