That screenshot reminds me that we need a Facebook like button on pictures, games, or whatever we post in these threads.

Just a quick update for everyone who's entering or thinking about entering. James and I are officially posting the bugfix/feature request deadline for Halloween. If you haven't made your request by then, you're out of luck. So, if you haven't thought about it yet, you might want to start. How is eve...

Urgh, I still have to finish Spellshard. How badly have my OHR game-playing abilities sunk if you make them faster than I can play them (and review them, which undoubtedly I have to do between now and the HamsterSpeak revival next year)? My first real question, however, is, how can I get Mr. 8-bit t...

I am really let down that even with dozens of people discussing Spellshard none of them wanted to write about it in the months since its release. I wanted to write about it, but I've had such difficulty with the lighting on my monitor that it became too much of a hassle to even try to play it. This...

Puzzle, the story reads like a treatment for a greater work. Are you stretching this out to a novella or a full-fledged novel? It's difficult to keep track of all the players prior to the storm at sea, so it might be nice to see this built up to something bigger, yet well-paced. I get the sense that...

That sounds like a good reason for us to increase the tag limits. I've been bugging you guys about that for years ;). I've got two games that are both approaching 800 tags with no sign of letting up soon. One day you're gonna have to address the limit, or I'm gonna have to postpone production on th...

If Pepsi would be so kind as to edit the OP for the HotOHR thread, this contest will be added.
Done. You can view your section under the prize list for "eighthly."

If you're going to tie this in with HotOHR, then I'd suggest you give the dungeon makers a one-week grace period for bug-fixing since the Heart of the OHR contest will allow for that.

My initial thought on the matter regarding game sales is that not only are most OHR games unpolished to the point of not being worth even a dollar, but most plagiarize somebody else's music, graphics, or in the case of fan games, intellectual property, and they wouldn't be legal to sell without the ...

I might be able to help out with a few at some point in the development. NPC development is one of my specialties. I can't make any promises about when or how many, as I'm pretty steeped in other writing projects at the moment, but I would like to try sometime soon. This would probably be a fun exer...

Okay, cool. So, we've got one new release and our first ever OHR Legends release, all in less than a month. If anyone would like to update the Heart of the OHR 2012 wiki, that would be nice (I don't edit wikis, so it won't be me). New Releases: Universal Wars OHR Legends: Vikings of Midgard Fenrir, ...

I agree that this tune is more appropriate for a sea shanty adventure. It could pass as decent tavern music, but for an inn as we know them in RPGs, I would probably come up with something else.

In real life, the grid system works best, but in games, you'll probably want to focus on a central hub and spider-web your way out. Of course, how you approach this would depend on whether you're starting in that town or walking into that town. The player's first impression of the town matters when ...

I'm a sucker for fun town development, and like you, I want a town that's memorable, yet functional. I've made it a practice in my games to divide towns by sectors. In one map you may have all the residential areas. In another you might have the shops (downtown area). Another might mix the two. Anot...
