James, speaking of bugfix / feature requests, it seems that you have the same request from both MasterK and mjohnson092088. Is this correct? Misac got his request in under the wire and also released his game, so we can include him on the bounty chart as someone who's due the request or the bounty. @...

Just two reminders to give you guys: 1. Tomorrow is the absolute last day you can place your bugfix / feature requests for James. If you haven't placed one yet, do not procrastinate any longer -- you are out of time. 2. You have one month left to post the initial release of your entry. You'll still ...

This really is a huge map, folks, which is hopefully going to be a good thing. You'll have several opportunities to pick alternate paths and use terrain to outmaneuver some enemies you might not want to engage. It will be quite a hike, though - I timed myself moving along the path from one end of t...

Whether Heart of the OHR comes back in 2014 or 2015 will depend on 2012's turnout. The more people participate this year, the more likely it'll be back in 2014.

For the record.

BMR has volunteered to produce fan art for the winning entr(ies). He'll have to specify whether it will be given to the winner of the original games, rereleased, or both. The official contest posting has been updated with a note about his contribution under my requests for "sixthly." EDIT:...

Well, each author has to make that decision to enter. It isn't automatic. Just saying that they should consider it if they've got something that qualifies, or could qualify before the deadline.

Are any of these RPGs? If so, and if you can scour 30 minutes or more out of them (without being forced to grind for 28 of those 30 minutes), you're invited to enter them into the Heart of the OHR contest free of charge. Because they were made and first released within the contest window, you can st...

These are good. My favorites are Lizard, Ice, and the Final Dungeon. Lizard: Compared to the first four, this one stands out as a little weird, and a refreshing break from the "cozy" RPG tracks that the others capture so well. I also like the instruments used here than I do the instruments...

Oion9 seems to be taking the modest approach when he fails to remind Baconlabs that he (NeoTA) is also one of the OHR's silent developers, and that working with the engine's colors and overall display is his specialty. If I'm not mistaken. Baconlabs, NeoTA, I believe, is also the guy who wrote the O...

Yeah, actually, I think all the house shadows are weird. Too rectangular. Where is your light source coming from? The shadows in front of the houses make them look blocky and detached from the ground. I'd stick with side shadows for now (maybe just one side) and work your way forward to something mo...

I wouldn't mind seeing your movie reviews posted here, too. Especially if they're current.

So here's the deal, I'm planning on ignoring the staple experience system built into the OHR, and going with an item-based advancement system. This would all be handled with increasing stats with out-of-battle usable items, which I believe will not disqualify me for the HotOHR contest (correct me i...

Mystic, I've added your prize suggestion to the list of official prizes under "ninthly." Thanks for the support. Just a quick reminder to everyone who would like to participate: Today marks the halfway point in the contest. If you haven't started your entry yet, you have officially squande...

If someone else would like to suggest a request for me, that would be fine. One of the motivations for having the bugfix/feature request as an incentive for joining the contest is to help James and TMC pare down the official buglist at http://hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/buglist.php . So if you don...

Yes, to reiterate to anyone who releases a game and enters it into Heart of the OHR, you just have to release any version of it before November 30th to get a lock into the contest. Whatever version is online as of December 7th (the end of the bugfixing period) will be the one that gets voted on. So,...
