Elf Quest: Get the Shiny

The guys from Wombat RPGs recently did a Let’s Try of this game.

Which can be found here.

I’d just like to share my reactions with all of you.

-Swampelves are not Dark Elves. I need to explain that clearly in game well because… shit this dorky does not explain itself. The Half Drow I had in my earlier (and very bad) games have slowly evolved into a race I’m calling swampelves or danburi. I was really trying to step away from the whole DnD Drow thing with this game.
-Swampelves are kind of stuck in the middle in this world. They’re too shady and disreputable to be trusted by the ‘good elves’ yet not cool and evil enough to hang out with the super awesome Dark Elves.

-Some of the characters do have Blaxsploitation elements in them but that’s mainly me trying to come up something that not generic fantasy dribble. Hope I’m not offending any white liberal college students here.

-By Satan’s great hairy balls, do I need a pixel artist!

-You also burnt through your items a hell of a lot faster than I expected. Actually if you were in BADASS mode Alfred would have killed you, raised you from the dead and made you his zombie bitch.

-I absolutely need to completely redo that first level. It’s just fucking embarrassing at this point.

-Change town music. Change or even just plain remove default menu sounds.

-No more excuses, Steal skill is a top priority.

-Just added a couple of flavor items Crunchy Bugs (30 HP) and Gnome Grass (10 MP) No real reason for that, it just seemed right.

-I’m planning to have a decent story with a heart wrenching tale of faith, betrayal friendship and redemption. You can however completely ignore the story and just go kill monsters and take their shit, then use that shit to kill ever more fucking monsters.

-One final thought. These LT/LP's really are very fucking useful to the game maker, especially those of us who don't have a reliable playtester.
