The full version of Sore Losers is out? I will play it!
Anywho, thanks for that honest and well written review. It was heart warming to see such a detailed review and I enjoyed reading it very much.
I've taken on board your comments and for the One Night follow up, the combat and the flash style scares will be non existant.
Thanks again!
I saw your comment about my Backstage review. Yes, it is somewhat hypocritical to criticize the exact same mechanics, but I have mentioned several times that using them in One Night is a dissapointment I hold with my game. My main gripe with Backstage was the graphical inconsistencies and some story elements.

I am formally requesting a (relatively merciful?) review of Iron Gaia: Virus, a complete RM2k3 "action"-RPG (light on the action) that has no reviews on RMN so far.

Hey, thanks F-G. The game was designed to be some sort of oldschool boardgame port hybrid with a really short and simple premise.
Actually, you can complete the game any path you choose, as the monsters, chests and their loot are generated randomly (although, if you don't possess a key, you will almost always get one).
Even though it definately isn't a masterpiece, I'm proud to have made something that compact in such a short timeframe (it was made for RS!). I think you should keep up your straight-forward reviews, hopefully until I get around to uploading the fixed ST-demo.
Although I thought my game's name was dungeon QUEST
now I continue playing sore losers so that I can review it

Thanks for your Legionwood review. I'm very glad you saw Legionwood as what it is meant to be: a bread and butter JRPG fantasy RPG, and not something that is expected to be genre defining and whatnot.
I'll be giving Tales Of Worlds the Legionwood treatment as well later (ie, remaking it in VX using Legionwood's scripts) so I hope you'll enjoy that when the time comes.
Anywho, thanks again.
P.S With the One Night sequel being almost ready, I'll have another game for you to review soon.

(check both endings there are two endings available to you many people miss that)
Anyway, I have no idea why that is, I will ask Boat O' Konoco.

Max, I tried to download the current version of IG:V and I got this from Ghostlight:The requested URL /rmn/IG-_Virus.rar does not exist.
:(
However, I only finished Iron Gaia recently (I haven't touched it in a while despite getting very close to the end, this request made me finish it up) so I might write a proper review for that soon.
Oops.
I recently moved this file to the /ig/ directory of Ghostlight since I actually got the series page up.

Thank you so much for the reviews, and not because the scores are high, but because they are really detailed and good reviews. Hell, after reading them, I- the guy who played Iron Gaia: Virus maybe a thousand times during testing- want to go back and play it again.
I mean, really, really, thank you. Even though it came out four full years ago now, I feel like you are the first person to really get Iron Gaia: Virus outside my immediate circle of IRL friends and supporters. I have always felt that it was far and away my best work, and hearing someone validate that (just that it was better than Iron Gaia/Backstage, even, let alone that it was better than games made by other people) is a satisfying experience for me.
Also, coming from you, these scores mean a lot because I don't think anyone could imagine you as a sycophant or easy to please in any way.
So in short, thank you again. This "job" has taken hundreds of hours of my life and pays nothing, but there are occasional moments where it is worth it, and having someone really GET your game is one of them.

P.S.
The 'mechanism' for choosing the ending in Iron Gaia isn't nearly as sophisticated or subtle as the mechanism in Backstage. During the scene before the (four) final boss(es), the Gaia asks you "What is the Iron Gaia?" and then you get a choice. The choice you make determines the ending. So you don't need to say, go back to the middle of the game and do something different to get the second ending. There is actually a THIRD (totally non-canonical) ending available via the (almost totally untested, even to this day) New Game+ mode.
P.P.S.
I unabashedly admit that Iron Gaia: Virus has its share of fanwank/sophomoric pop culture references, they're probably just too obscure for you to get them. "Have trigger, will travel" is a line from the song "Quarantine" by At The Drive In and the lines used as dialogue between Cross/Slade/Chimera during the game's ending sequences are from "Delirum Trigger" by Coheed and Cambria, the same song that plays during the titles. : )
P.P.P.S.
Please don't forget to submit the review to THE SITE:

The site is the most important part of RMN, as I'm sure our evil overlord WIP is coming up with all kinds of brutal ways of forcibly instructing us about.
