Fun Facts and Stats

I've been wanting to do one of these for awhile, and now that Development Journal mania has wound down and could probably use a nice recharge, I thought this was a good time to start.

Sometimes numbers speak louder than words. Feel like your game needs a little more than what it has? Think it has too much? Let's post statistics about our games and see where the trends lie.

This will help us see how passionate we are about some games in our design library and how behind (or unmotivated) we are on designing others.

Here is the template I'm using for my games, but feel free to add or subtract categories as you wish.

Note: I've added the term "WIP" to any game that contains unreleased content. This does not mean that a game missing the term will no longer be worked on. It just means the community hasn't seen the new content yet.

I'll post my games in a separate message. Feel free to post and repost new stats as you update your game. This will also work well as a supplement to your design journal.

I was going to post, but then I realized that I had a small (but respectable) cache of graphics. Full stop. Holy Jesus have I fallen behind on this thing.

I seem to be almost completely unable to get any work done unless I'm hopped up on diet coke the day before it's due

I made a nice wooden floorboard tile today, but I really need some kind of slave driver

Wow. Not jamming all your text into the same box really makes your textbox count go up... TKL probably has more actual text in it, but in Okédoké I split them up based on who's talking and usually kept the boxes down to a certain size.

EDIT: Noted difference between enemy/hero/weapon/etc. definitions and graphics. And also noticed that my older games used A LOT of recolors for enemies and weapons, compared to how often I use them in my more recent games.

The statistics for Powerstick Man never cease to boggle the mind :)

- Foxi the bard/wizard has a name in common with the Chinese playwright Xiong Foxi, but this is pure coincidence (I found this out by searching for stuff randomly on the Brittanica)
- Mira the elven wizardess and MidKnight the black tiger samurai were dropped from the old version because I don't like the number of heroes to exceed 4
- Shares continuity with every other game I have released, besides Maces Wild and Moron Mission

Remeber: God made you special and he loves you very much. Bye!

Hm, why not list the number of palettes as well? Actually, I think that there are a couple of vague things on your template, like enemy graphics vs enemy definitions. Here's my version; I'll bold any changes in case you'd like to go back and edit anything on yours.

Fun Facts:
-This is my first ever game on the OHR; the map for the first forest was the second thing I ever input, besides some graphics that got erased
-The basis of the game was originally worked out when I was 11 or so, and was meant to be Dragon Warrior V, since after playing IV I was so upset when I heard V would not be released in the US

*Actually, I am slowly updating it with new graphics, maybe some other stuff too, but I'm not sure if I'll ever complete it

**There are plenty more autonumber scripts, but I have no easy way to count them all without going through all of my script files one by one

Fun Facts:
-This may well be the only OHR game to give each hero their own item menu while still using the standard battle system
-I spent the first 10-20 hours of development on almost nothing but the item system
-This is a prequel to the first game, about 500 years prior, and there are a few characters in this game who appeared in the first
-The links between the two games were planned out pretty carefully before the first game was even halfway done, so I hope that the world feels like it has some continuity

*Due to the customized item system, shops are not defined as shops, but are defined as menus instead. The one actual shop definition is used solely for selling items. The 18 defined menues include 9 shops, the rest are various menues for the item system and some other things.

**There are plenty more autonumber scripts, but I have no easy way to count them all without going through all of my script files one by one

EDIT: forgot to mention that many of the textboxes in Tales 2 are still just placeholders.

EDIT2: Fun Facts added, "Fun" used loosely here

I am Srime

No, I considered these as I wrote the template, but decided I'd rather leave room for others to pick and choose which stats mattered to them and to remove the ones that don't (which you did, so mission accomplished). For me, the palette was the least interesting of my stats across the board (Powerstick Man XE is the only one to break 20--and even with the extensive number of graphics, it's still only at 121). I've broken the graphic sets down in the dedicated stat sheet between small, medium, and large enemies for the original Powerstick Man (and the Legendary Edition--which is included in the file), but decided to streamline the categories for this posting to keep it moving. On a related note, the dedicated sheet counts total spells, as well as "most powerful" weapons, items, etc. For individual postings I think this is fine, but when posting nine games in a single post, it becomes daunting.

If any of you want to post your "most powerfuls," feel free. I probably won't do it for any of my updates, though.

Also, I didn't do this for mine because I wanted to keep the template in use, but if you want to omit any category that equals "0," that would work, too.



I dropped my scripts into HSPEAK before writing down the stats. I don't know how it handles autonumbers (I have zero of those for the record), but it counts all scripts, including undefined and imported scripts, into its total. So you don't have to manually count them. Honestly, if I had to count each one myself, I wouldn't have included the stat. Powerstick Man: XE has 457 defined scripts. That means there are well over 100 that aren't defined. There's no way I'd want to pick through that file to find those scripts (even with a text search for "script").

Try recompiling them and see what numbers they give you.



I hear Sword of Jade is the true statistics monster. That's a game I want to see posted here.

Let's see some Wandering Hamster stats, Mr. Paige. And some Baconthulhu and Don't Eat Soap stats. And some fun facts. I'd like some fun facts from these games.

Place Obligatory Signature Here

About "Most Powerful" things--I just noticed something odd about the stronger attacks in Okédoké... all of the strongest physical attacks are only used by enemies!

The top three Attack/Defense-based attacks, based on their "extra damage" amount, are all the signature moves of a boss or tough enemy (250 and 200 extra damage; the 200 is the only one in the currently available demo, the F-15's Missile attack) and the fourth is an attack that a few strong enemies use (150 extra damage; Iron Fist.) The strongest physical attack any of the heroes ever gets (100, Señor Rialgo's Despegue) barely makes it into the top five.

Also, Señor Rialgo's TraCero is the single most powerful attack that you'll ever be able to use... and he has it from the very start of the game. I guess the huge cost and long charge-up time keep it from being overpowered.

I put my script through Hspeak to get the numbers I got, but I'm about 93% certain that it does not count autonumber scripts. I don't know what you mean by 'imported' scripts; as far as I know it counts all scripts that can be used in custom, regardless of how you defined them. But autonumber scripts are ones that you don't plan on assigning to anything in custom, and I have a handful of those per game. Certainly more than 10, but probably not many more than 30.

Blip.

Hmm, I as just thinking I needed to do something for the next Hamsterpeak. If no one else has claimed it, I'll see what I can do.

By imported, I mean included plotscript files that I recycle for a number of my games, like the animation scripts I posted in HamsterSpeak awhile back.

* James as he appears in the game is based on how I looked in 1997. I still own the hat, but it is in *terrible* condition now.
* Each Bob the Hamster game I make has its own separate continuity and its own separate canon.
* The Goblin Head monster on the troll mountain was taken from a scan of some pencil art my sister Julie did for a freshman art class.
* I hate battle balancing, and wish somebody would come along to fix all my enemy stats for me. I choose them more or less randomly.
* Like Pepsi Ranger with Powerstick man, I started a novelization of Wandering Hamster, but unlike him, I have only finished about a chapter-and-a-half (His rivals War and Peace right now I think ;)
* I have accepted music contributions from a lot of people, but the two that blow me away are Jabbercat and Cartlemmy. Because of the quality of the music they have provided, I am seriously considering switching to all-ogg music, in spite of the massive file-bloat that would entail.
* I am really loving text box portraits. They have revived a lot of my joy for this game. They allow me to inject a big does of emotion into the dialog that would be much harder to do with walkabouts alone (other people do make their walkabout incredibly expressive, but I think they spend about 10x as much time on walkabouts as I do on portraits ;)

Fun Facts:
* Bubble Bobble holds a special place in my heart. it was the second video game I ever owned (right after Super Mario Bros 1 that came with my NES) and I have a lot of memories of playing it two-player with my sister.
* I am very proud of the two-player support. Anybody who has only played single-player should play again with a friend!
* Features Mr Triangle, Tim of Timpoline, and Steve of Tim-Tim the Mighty Gnome. I would have liked to add more cameos from other OHR games, but I didn't have time.

Fun Facts:
* Born from my love for Powder
* First introduced Misa du Hamstre. (Misa is my girlfriend's middle name)
* If anybody ever puts in the incredible amount of time and effort required to get the "Good" ending, they will probably murder me.
* Will definitely receive an update after the new SAV format is done, and it will get real saves, so you won't have to do it all in one sitting.
* NOT the first Lovecraft-mythos-inspired roguelike for the OHRRPGCE, just the first to be released!
* Although this game is heavily scripted, I went out of my way to use built-in features as much as possible.
* Bob's sprites are ripped directly from BobQuest. I consider Baconthulhu to be a spiritual sequel to BobQuest (even more than DireSPAM was)

Interesting, so you just have one map and cycle through the tilesets on it? Obvious with hindsight.
