BAM! Here to register my group's debut game, Tower of Heaven! First off, hi, welcome. Second, your game's really great. I downloaded it on a whim and beat it just now. I did think it was odd that the game ends shortly after you break the book of laws -- it feels like there should be a longer lead u...

Priorities out of order, right here at Slime Salad! - Music volume is now normal. - Threw together a minimalist title screen. I kind of like it. - Now I'm going to replay 1-5! - And later, I will script 1-6.5 (this assumes I'm not feeling lazy). I'm still hoping to finish all this tonight and send i...

The first floor is warmup! The first battle (Ogre + Wizrobe x2) is 100% "get used to your characters," and the second is pretty much the same. So, throw those out. The concept battles don't really start until you get to Earthwyrm. The actual Aegis enemy appears in two or three battles that...

That's not so much a slight derail as a total threadjack, but okay. a) Yeah, I remember considering that. I think I ultimately decided against it, although more recently I've made better progress in similar engines. b) I did, and my wife hates the name, but honestly, I still got nothin'. c) True. I ...

Yeah, most of the enemies use elemental spawning to some degree. The last boss uses all eight elementals for spawning in one form or another.

- Tested 1.6, which now works as intended. - Finished 1-5.5's special effects. - Tested 1.5. I don't know what I was thinking. The enemy units need to be repositioned at the very least. - Demon looks awesome. - Gold seems fine. I'm not sure how well it will scale, but right now I think the Bandit is...

Lots and lots of elemental spawning.

You use the Wrath-G on the last boss, which leads to another last boss. I don't remember if I kept the Castle Paradox file up-to-date. There's a changelog on both entries, though. The reason CP notes that it's the final version is because the only other option is that it's a demo (or "in devel...

Re: Retro Review: Darkmoor Dungeon

I can't pass. Hold down Alt or Esc. This is in one of the readmes. Potion3 works in the most recent version, which also has sounds and battle anims, so I'm pretty sure you have an old version on your hands. Is that the one available here? I agree that the Basilisks are unbalanced (and probably the ...

- Verified the Wraith animation. - It's awesome, by the way. - Discovered a "hilarious" bug that caused all the enemies in a certain battle to have the same bonus that is applied to the player in that battle. Discovered this after ten minutes of wondering why the battle was so hard. ("...

Influx of new users

Let's all give a warm welcome to our new members. Whether you've noticed or not, we've had quite a few in the past week (although they seem to be keeping pretty quiet). If you're wondering why the surge in membership, it's because Dreamhost gave out a sizeable Google Adwords credit this month. Googl...

Chapter 1 is, you know, the first chapter. You'll keep your save file and continue when chapter 2 is released. I do plan on releasing the game incrementally, which is part of the reason why the release date keeps getting pushed: if you're going to be able to continue from chapter 1, then I need to m...

- Changed the boss's ability. The original ability wasn't really thought through; this version of it is thematically similar, but not cripplingly powerful. - Wraith animation finished, I think. I need to retest both Wraith and Demon, then figure out sound effects for Wraith. They are both totally aw...
