I am so tired of games that do this. If anyone is working on an OHR game right now, PLEASE make sure this doesn't happen to you!

I like your hammer bro there. That whole "head-hair and beard-hair unite for TWICE THE POWER" thing is cartoony and lovable.

Why does hardly any cover artist ever try to "sell" the issue with teasers :( I'm sorry, aaagh, this ran through my head when I was putting the cover together for Issue 48, and now I seriously regret having not come up with anything. I blame Senator Bob Surlaw for downplaying the importan...

Hoooly smokes, for a pencil sketch, Vampiducki's art blew me away. I love pieces that mess with perspective like this. Haven't done any reading yet, but looking forward to it. As to the main issue index, I assume the slowdown comes from the nearly-fifty images trying to load at once. Couldn't this b...

So there's a Final Fantasy concert featuring Uematsu himself in Atlanta next week. I'm going, and I figured I'd ask if any other OHRers were attending. It'd be neat to run into someone else there. Also, the penultimate performance is going to be the Opera piece from Final Fantasy VI. Very much looki...

I can't play it out of your folder, which probably has something to do with the typeless "weegee" file which is less than a kilobyte big. When I play it through my own copy of game.exe, it works. Also, if you decide to revise your game in the near future, cut down the poison damage by abou...

They remind me of Tales of Phantasia's heroes, particlarly Cress and Arche.

... Should I bring up the "damage type" elements used in Battle for Wesnoth? I think this was critical in separating the six multiplayer factions. In a nutshell, physical and magical damage are split into three types: Pierce, Blade, and Impact for physical, and Arcane, Fire, and Cold for m...

Some of you probably predicted this, but I'm waaay behind schedule this month! I blame having discovered Spelunky last week and Minecraft this week. I'll submit the doodlecaption to bide time. Everything else so far will go into the May gallery instead.

Quick note about GraphicsGale: A really useful tool I've found lately in GG is the ability to take a high-res picture and reduce the color count. Go to ALL FRAMES > COLOR DEPTH, and you have several options on what to do. Obviously, for the OHR, you're going to want to switch over to 4bit (16 colors...

Great, great, I'm glad ya'll fixed the death animation bugs. I particularly like the new "shrink" one. I'll get to testing some stuff in game.exe soon.

I would like to see you somehow draw a Horse Game fan art. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x98/Baconlabs/Horsejames.png Pictured: A horse and also a game Think you're funny? Submit a caption to go under this picture! The best one gets hand-written by yours truly and added to the April gallery.

When it comes to MIDIs, I've found nothing better than Anvil Studio , which is the kind of software where you can get most of its features for free, but it'll sometimes blather about a full version whose perks are nebulous at best. To be honest, it's still not very good, and the UI is a bit clunky a...

In case ya'll didn't pick it up in the battle sprites thread, I've been working on Viridia chapter 3 for a while. (Incidentally, I'm getting sick of writing "Viridia Chapter X" over and over, so from here on out I'm referring to this game as Expedition. ) I've gone through all sorts of des...

I've been doing enemy graphics quite differently lately. My latest method: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x98/Baconlabs/pngas_Aerie.png http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x98/Baconlabs/en_aerie_day.png Draw it in Photoshop, resize it and reduce the color count to 16 in GraphicsGale. It's quite e...
