Okay I have heaps of these along with tilesets that I've made however this game is currently in progress and I ain't releasing the sprites.

However I will give you a hint to type in hamstermans spriting tutorial into google.


I would give you a direct link but I'm afraid it may be counted as advertising.

You can advertise all you want, so long as you're JUST not advertising stuff.

I wasn't particulary fond of the demo either. I was considering holding out and getting Eternal Sonata instead (enjoyed the demo more). But I took a leap of faith and so far I'm not regretting it.

Hopefully I enjoy the dungeons from the demo better in the real product.

I won't bother pointing out the many historical innaccuracies present in your short blurb, but I will say pre-modern China rocked and there aren't enough games about it.

Man, lazy bears will f*ck your sh*t up.

Have you fought a boss yet? I MUST know what you think about the boss theme.

I got to the first "real" boss late last night while I was half asleep. Literally. I kept dozing off but I didn't want to backtrack to the last save point. Then this festive looking dinosaur came out of nowhere and then the music started playing...

I was so shocked by the song. It has no idea what it wants to be. It starts out as an annoying jpop song, then like, wtf, the lead singer from Deep Purple (one of the pioneers of heavy metal) starts screaming or something. Then it changes back into a particulary annoying jpop song with Ian Gilliam trying to sing in tune (impossible). It's pretty crazy.

I don't think this is a great song by any means but it does gain some coolness points by having Ian Gilliam sing it. After 30 seconds its pretty much just background noise and doesn't try to be your face anymore. I've heard worse, but dear God have I heard so much better.

Judgement: Should have been cool but is instead just annoying. They should have just made a regular rock song and ditched the jrock/jpop.

I don't play video games anymore.... atleast new ones.

I have an old PC that can't play anything better than Diablo II, I don't have any of the new consoles or handhelds, the latest machine I have is an Xbox, and the newest game I have for is Burnout 3.

I am really hoping to get a Wii by Christmas.

If you're going to upgrade, you may as well get a real console and not the "new" Wii. You can buy two GameCubes and some duct tape on the cheap if you wanted to go that route. Toss in a universal remote and you're set. Just kidding!

Actually, I may end up getting one for Christmas for the family. My daughter is starting to enjoy playing videogames and my wife likes Wii Sports. Unfortunately the only other games that interest me at all are Twilight Princess, which I could play on my GameCube, or Metroid Prime 3. I never got into the earlier Prime games but it looks like they actually tried to make MP3 a real game and not just a metroid fanservice.

Looking around at reviews, especially on metacritc, you'll see a lot of reviews that are 90%+, but also quite a few reviews that are in the 60's. Apparently there is no consensus on the title.

And yes, the blue dragon looks way silly. But so does all of Toriyama's stuff.
