Pandora's Present

Man, you're quick!
Writing the release blog right now. :o

Simplified/Tactical Combat

This is a great article!
I have a very similar outlook regarding game design, well, minus all that dodging and missing RNG.

One attack I have in my game, for example, does 2 damage, but +1 for every hitpoint the user's missing. It's cool to calculate whether it'll do more damage than another one that also costs SP.

I really like your idea with crit damage. I might use that, but instead of crits doing +1 damage, they'll do damage equal to stat_X.
That way you can build towards crit damage, but might lack the crit chance, which would be another stat.
Interesting stuff!

Welp, I had to prematurely quit RM. I literally have 0 time to work on gams anymore.

Aww, that is unfortunate, really liked what I saw of your games. :(

Best of luck with that indie company of yours, interested in seeing how that turns out.

WYRM WARRIORS! Design a location!

If that is a "fairly reasonable amount" to you, then it seems like our opinions differ in that regard. :P
I was thinking your motivation might drop too quickly with that many, that's how it works for me at least, don't mind me though!

@LockeZ:
Oh, by "more of everything else" I mostly meant more/better dungeons, skills, enemies, polish etc, so nothing in particular.

Looking forward to more updates on this game.

yyeah. uh, i thought this would be a lot more popular after the character topic went well =x

*jumps in for some lame excuses*
I, uuh, don't like creating towns either, and then there's finishing ma own gam, and bla, bla, bla, I'll be back for the dungeons!

Also, three villages, four towns, and two cities seems a bit much/ambitious. As a fellow town hater, I'd like to see less towns and more everything else, but I might be too late with that suggestion. :X

@thatbennyguy: Why're you asking us, just do it! :P
You could of course add some tragic reasons for why she's scamming people out of money, but eh, it's not like we're writing a 2382382809 page world-class novel here! :o

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?

Speaking of Bravely Default, I still gotta finish that game (European here :P), but Gam Mak is keeping me busy atm. Other than that, there's Hearthstone that's keeping me busy too.

My suggestion for Lantwese and Weylin:

A few months ago, Weylin inadvertently became a local hero when he set fire to an abandoned building that happened to be used as a hideout by insane evil cultists.

Lantwese, as a con artist, has been disguising herself as Weylin and impersonating him in order to scam people out of their money. The thieves' guild targets someone and robs them on the streets, and then she introduces herself to the victim as a known hero and offers to recover what was stolen for an additional payment. And then they never see her again.

Do thatbennyguy and Byah like this backstory? It connects them in a way that's a little more interesting than bro/sis, and also I think makes more sense than two siblings of opposite genders who are eight years apart looking identical.

Really like this (not as much as him being stuck in a time vortex for 9 years, but it's close!).
Changed Weylin's story already, since it's good even without Lantwese's imposter part.

That sounds fun, Liberty, I'd definitely participate in that event.

Goldenified it! And Rackward's new sprite is in. =)

If anybody knows of/wants to make a windowskin for the game, that'd be lovely. And feel free to add in more characters and/or ideas for places to visit. There's no way in hell I'll have a quality finished project done in <1.5 days, but I'm more than willing to keep working on this. (And, like I said earlier, I'll release all that IS done once DO SOMETHING is over.) What that means is that there's room for input!


Looks better now!
B-but how will you stay motivated once the challenge is over?!?

Regarding Lantwese: She could be Weylins elder sister (while somehow looking like she's 14 too :X), or maybe cousin, if you don't wanna change the dead mom part.
Him being her secret twin (birthing two kids was just too much) that got stuck in a time vortex at the age of 14 is, of course, the most sensible solution.

WYRM WARRIORS! Design a character!

The main menu looks really slick, but it'd look better without weapon icons, imo. Not a fan of that yellow (Lv, HP, SP etc) either. Maybe make it look more golden/orange, but that's just me nitpicking. :P
