Slime Salad

I'm just using a regular container slice. I know nothing of this "grid slice."

...that I used the maptiles-to-slices trick we were discussing on CP a few months ago. Works like a charm. I could've made the tiles any size, but I opted to go with 10x10. Stick the entire map inside a container, and scrolling is as easy as moving that container around. I should really be working o...

Nicely done.

I should really figure out what's up with the save codes.

Yes, it's possible. You will need to use plotscripting and do one of the following: - Create a palette for every possible combination of colors. - Reserve colors in your palette for exclusive use with each hero. You may need to dedicate a significant portion of your palette depending on how many col...

I kind of liked the battle sprite portraits

Draw an OHR character/monster/thing enjoying food, surfing on a pizza, whatever. I don't know what these people eat.

I missed this instruction. That said, I think my entry is GREAT.

Your second playthrough has already passed my playthrough - I'm stalled on the Marsh Cave right now.

By the way, the Asleep status always lasts one round. It's a bug (surprise), but the spell is still useful, especially given that it mitigates more damage than a CURE.

Has anybody ever attempted to beat the entire game with only one character alive? Is that even possible? Yeah. It's not even particularly hard , except that stuns = death. White Mage and Thief are obviously bad picks, but I think every other class has been done. Why? The run I just did was legitima...

Whatever you do, you should definitely have a character dedicated to support magic. It's magic! Maybe you don't want to restrict your spell selection. FINE. But you should showcase how awesome SLEP and CONF are. Everyone already knows that FIR3 does a lot of damage. Fewer people know that BANE works...

Lich is the only one you'll ever see cast NUKE, but Chaos does it if you wait forever and Evilmen have it in their spell list as well (in the second slot, with a 12.5% chance of using magic each turn, so you're unlikely to ever see it).

You've convinced me. I started a Th/RM/WM/BM run, with the restrictions that the WM can't take any of the CURE or HEAL series and the BM can't take any of the FIRE, ICE, or LIT series. The RM is unrestricted, but he's also the best attacker... I've died a lot already. SLEP is a surprisingly nice spe...

Ooh, you are doing it VC-style.

I wonder if I can find my cartridge. You're making me want to replay. Is it worth the $5 if I can't find the cart? Hmm...


(edit) also, what's so great about the Power Staff?

Heal 2 is just as effective as Heal 3. Only in battle. Additionally, Elemental Weapons and spells don't seem to be any more or less effective against their respective foes than they should be. Excalibur and Sasuke's katana have a similar damage output, since Excalibur doesn't get to exploit all ele...

Fun fact: When I read "Shuffle" I thought you meant as in randomizing a group of variables, and it made me cry because this was such a hassle to code in Motrya (The script I used to randomize the position of 9 cards took an obscene amount of code that I can barely read because the slice c...
