Spellshard: The Black Crown of Horgoth (FULL GAME RELEASE)

Post by KF Harlock »

Hey all!

I'm happy to announce that Shizuma and I have finally finished the 8-bit RPG we began work on in 2002, SPELLSHARD: THE BLACK CROWN OF HORGOTH.

Some of you might remember this release from the original demo sent out way back when, but this is now the COMPLETE VERSION of the game. Expect around 30-40 hours of gameplay, a robust branching class system, and hopefully, an all-around fun and engaging experience. I'd say more about the game, but you can find out everything, and view screenshots, both at the game's page on our SlimeSalad gamelist:

http://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewgame.php?t=4363

and at the game's official website:

http://spellshard.crithit.org

The downloadable package has some nice little extras you may want to check out, such as a poster, and a retro-style PDF manual.

The OHRRPGCE community has been a big help throughout the whole creation of this project, and we'd like to thank everyone for their support. It's been an awesome experience. Thanks everyone for checking it out, and we hope you enjoy it!

Wow. Congrats!

"Congrats" doesn't quite cover it, but it's what I've got :v:

Back when this game was a somewhat-buggy demo, it really inspired me. Now the game is finally complete, and so I'm looking forward to spending the next two months playing it through. Perhaps at the end I'll write a review.

This game is even better looking than it was before. And now I can choose something other than a 3-1 male-female ratio for my party, which is nice.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Hope you're all enjoying the game!

We just updated the downloads to 1.01 by the way. The update is pretty much just to fix one small cosmetic error, but if you've already grabbed it, consider updating!

I keep trying to pickpocket roaches and rats. Does this make me crazy? It worked on the wolves.

I don't know why you have the STEAL WAS SUCCESSFUL message when Steal works normally, since the enemies have non-100% steal-rates. STEAL SUCCEEDS followed by STEAL FAILED! looks awkward to me.

Looks good. I wish I could draw 8-Bit style. My graphics are trapped between 8-bit and regular.

Nathan Karr - Thanks for pointing that out, that does read awkwardly. We'll change it up whenever a new update comes along!
