This is absolutely STUNNING! Beautiful work, folks! I've no idea who helped create this, but whoever they were (be it an individual or team) are truly talented. Fantastic job! My favorite part's not even the characters (despite being wonderfully animated), but the clouds and sunset in the background. I love the colors.

Let's Play: Dragon Fantasy - Yellow Magic

I recently went back and started to watch these videos again, and they've jump-started my motivational juices and kicked by productivity into overdrive! Play-testing scenes over and over and over and OVER make me lose sight of what everything looks like when it all comes together. By going back and viewing them flowing smoothly into one and other, it makes me appreciate the little things and smaller details.

I'll be adding a few things to the norther continent, such as those big mountain ranges, 'cause it is kind of... plain. My World Map-making abilities kind of jumped up a few notches between the creation of the northern and southern continents, so I've got to go back and do a bit of tweaking in the future!

Dragon Fantasy: Origins Review

I'd always contemplated designing my own monster graphics for this project, and probably only used the Wizardry ones as placeholders, but somewhere down the line decided that wasn't something I was quite up for. Mind you, if I HAD created my own monster graphics, they'd probably be HEAVILY influenced by the ones I used! Hahahaha.

This game came out far better than I'd expected, and was also received better than I thought it'd be, too! So looking back, I really DO wish that I had to finish it! Maybe that can be another project for the distant future? The only downside is that it's (it'd be) ESSENTIALLY a downgrade (how's that even possible?!) of Heroes of Tsufana, considering THAT'S what DF:Origins later grew into.

Thanks for the review, Corfaisus! I loved loging in to find it waiting for me, and enjoyed the read! I greatly appreciate it =)

Chronicles of Tsufanubra

As Corfaisus said, Chronicles of Tsufanubra is INDEED a remake of the first (MY first) Dragon Fantasy! This time around, however, there's a much higher emphasis on the story and characters as opposed to simplifying everything and passing it off as the "old-school charm" like I used to do. That may be strange, and although the original is as loved as it is, I initially utilized the NES style so that I wouldn't have to put too much work into the project and could essentially take a lot of shortcuts. It wasn't until the sequel where I stepped my game up, and finally Heroes of Tsufana was where I REALLY put a lot of effort into attempting to make the project feel like a genuine NES game.

Oh, and progress IS being made, even if it's only a little bit every day! I just don't see much need in making small updates every day or two just to tell you all I've finished copying/pasting some dialogue, or that another event has been tested 25 times and most of the errors have been ironed out.

Dragon Fantasy: Heroes of Tsufana

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience! Always itching to hear new opinions and receive more comments, but they're all just so few and far between.

There were a few things that I (sadly) overlooked in this game, one of the major ones being a lack of the "wrap" effect on the world map. It's a tad too late to go back and make simple adjustments at this point, but I wish I'd found/noticed them back when I first released the game!

I'm surprised someone actually decided to GRIND in this game, let alone get their party to Lv.99 and face OMEGA! Great work, Mr. Euphoniac!

RMN BossRush ---CLOSED---

Man, that is AWESOME! Hahahaha! I see you used Emazeldyne's boss sprite from Heroes of Tsufana for the inspiration. I guess it was the most obvious outcome, but I wasn't expecting that at all! Made it all the better when I saw it =D

Orochii's is also pretty badass, particularly because I've always had a fondness for the design of the "Plague Doctor" mask.

Pianotm, Liberty, Kentona, Pizza, and Jeroen_Sol are my favorite so far. Great job, Rider! Fantastic work so far.

Oh, this look sweet! Am I too late to make a request? What you've shown us so far looks spectacular! You may be new to spriting, but your work's definitely full of style.

Roll in the MP3s!

DONE! I'm just glad it was something so simple, and had nothing to do with the actual engine its self! Oh lawd.
