ITT: songs that would make great RPG boss themes



This song is pretty epic and could easily be thematic.

"I will never grant you ground
remember me and why you all bow down"

Second Demo upcoming

I don't think this is a good idea, but I think it would have been hilarious if I made certain spots on the map be monster "spawn points" (invisible of course), and when they came into view, a monster would spawn, but if it went out of view, it would be gone like in the old NES days. and earthbound.

EDIT: come to think of it, that might be an interesting mechanic for a shadows-monsters based roguelike? hmm, file away for future consumption.

EDIT EDIT: and no stealing my idea, KAEL. oh i kid i kid



Interesting idea, I would probably make shadow monsters wander or follow the player, they would only be visible within certain distance, possibly based on the players perception score and the level of illumination in the room. The smart ones could attempt to follow at this distance and attack only when the player was weakened or attacked by something. Which would cause the player to hate the programmer, but hey, it is a roguelike.

Retro Fatale

I'm looking into this "Inform 7" I think you can safely take back your last statement.

Okay, now my post doesn't make sense.

Retro Fatale

I forget to say to pick a mono-spaced font from the font drop down in options, e.g. "Courier New." I've updated my original post. It turns the whole thing into mono-spaced retroness.

Retro Fatale

Played through once, had the end boss beat me to death, read the play though and got the good ending the next time around, had fun both times.

For those of you who want the old school mono-spaced green font on a black background:

1. Fire up Frotz and launch Retro Fatale
2. Go into the View menu and click on Options OR press ctrl+p
3. Set the font colour to a bright shade of green and the background to black, set the font to Courier and click Ok to save the changes
4. Reload the game using the New Game option in the File menu
5. (optional) press alt+enter to switch to full screen for the complete nostalgia effect
6. ????
7. Profit
