http://castleparadox.com/fenart/vikingtitle.png It's a pre Beta BETA!! I'll be releasing this as a bugtesting release before the Zenzenziac demo release (in a month?) so, I won't be ACTUALLY hosting it as a normal download. And I'll change the "version" to make it official. http://castlep...

Instead of using in-battle tags, I'm just checking formations with formation slot enemy and seeing what they fought, and if they hadn't fought it before, setting the tag on. Your way is probably better. Also, with a ton of enemies, maybe all those checks would slow it down. That's not a bad suggest...

Joy! Fenrir, we should talk about the monster compendium. What needs to be implemented in the engine in order to make it easier? In THEORY at least, the engine should already have everything it needs to enable this. The plan is as follows: 1) Give each enemy an attack that sets a particular tag on....

Vikings nears another demo release. What kinds of things can we expect to see in December? http://castleparadox.com/fenart/welcome/Screens/Viking89.png This character will teach you new attacks by bringing her various weapons from around the world. There'll be OTHER quests such as this all over the ...

James is correct in saying that real life issues take precedence over game-related ones. I'm open to either position - the only difference being that an extension would allow me to suitably prepare my entry for an actual engine release (and not make it look half-arsed). I'd ask for December 25thish ...

Then I've succeeded!

There's no realistic way I can finish. Bills have crept up on me, forcing me to take art commissions to make up for the difference. And since a paying hobby takes precedence over a non-paying one... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v652/Fenrir-Lunaris/conquer.png Instead you get more animated chara...

Alternatively, if you really want to avoid plotscripting, you could start the game in an area that shows the walkabout of those three classes. Then your character (perhaps an arrow of some sort) can "talk" to one of those classes, get a short description, then choose whether to accept tha...

Arguably, the OHRRPGCE wouldn't exist were if not for the fact that Final Fantasy was great enough to spawn so many sequels!

Incidentally, unless you're running an unpatched version of FF1 NES (I'm assuming you are), the BlackBelt will actually have a faster Magic Defense growth than the Master. Their unarmored and weaponless attacks don't rely on their actual stats (aside from level), and these change whenever they class...

4 Thieves. I'm completely serious. If you're looking for the absolute HARDEST challenge FF1 has to offer, this is your game. I'm level 25 and I STILL can't beast Astos. James's suggestion of 4 Black Mages is not only doable, but also fairly fun. Once you get a party with Fire2/Bolt2, most enemies go...

The last sprite was created through a little bit of tinkering with the Hati sprite, which looked oddly like a cat to me. I don't know the name of the cat person from Vikings whose portrait I used, but she has the same hair as Hati so it ended up working rather well. ...Freki? The only Cats in Vikin...

Surlaw has put out a request for artwork submissions for Hamsterspeak Magazine. So here's a special deal - draw some OHR characters in costume (as other OHR characters perhaps?) and I'll give out 500 slimebucks per picture. All images must be turned in to either myself or Surlaw by September 30th (o...

Not applying, since my microphone is (and has always been) wonky; but for the sake of consistency, the Joker should be played by someone who can pull off a believable Mark Hamill.

=Mazes & Hamsters= *JOY* Not just the fantastic artwork, but I love the whole idea of this. I am only just barely getting into this whole D&D thing, but already I can't wait to play with a full team of Mazes & Hamsters character races. Rumors are that Flanatians *hint hint* will be maki...
