LOCKEZ'S PROFILE

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Lufia 2, and most of the Wild ARMs series of games, are RPGs with areas and dungeons full of Legend of Zelda style puzzles. Your characters get various tools (grappling hooks, bombs, flame wands, and some less predictable ones) and use them to unlock areas and solve puzzles.

Lufia 2 is a traditional RPG for the SNES, but has aged pretty well and is still quite fun. Wild ARMs is a series of fantasy western RPGs, especially Wild ARMs 3, where the western theme is dialed up to eleven. The newer Wild ARMs games after 3 stopped following the same style of games, and no longer have puzzles. Wild ARMs: Alter Code F is also good, it's of the same style as the first three Wild ARMs games (it actually is a remake of the first Wild ARMs game, with the same story but completely different gameplay).

Wild ARMs 3 probably is the best one to play, if you want to play one of them. Someone will argue with me, because it's the hardest or because they don't like how personal skills were done or they hate the plot or something. But don't listen to them, it's a really fun game.

Why do all the Links decide to travel and explore new lands after they finish their quests? I mean, aside from it being narratively convenient. I understand that part of the reason. But it's been done to death.

If you really want to make it a Zelda game, it should have Zelda in it. Maybe have Link arrive on the island chasing Zelda after she was kidnapped. Then do the other stuff you were going to do.

Basically if you want to make a Zelda fangame, you need to have a very strong justification for why you're calling it a Zelda fangame. The gameplay alone isn't enough, especially if you're making it an RPG instead of following the original style of gameplay. It needs to actually be a Zelda game, in pretty much every possible way.

Don't start telling me that Link's Awakening didn't have Zelda in it. The difference is, that wasn't a fan game. That was a real game. The series's real creators can do whatever they want to the series. But a fan work needs to stay true to its source. The fact that you're already significantly changing the gameplay is going to severely limit the amount of originality you can justify including in the story.

At this point, I'd say your game makes a better Lufia or Wild ARMs game than a Zelda game, since Lufia and Wild ARMs had the same style of Zeldaish puzzles, but were RPGs.

If someone gets offended by someone else, there's roughly a 99.9% chance that the person who feels offended is in the wrong.
Yeah, now go try it out in a bar.


In the interest of self-preservation I would probably not tout my ideals in a situation where I am likely to get the shit beaten out of me.

There's something to say about someone who has been in every single kind of relationship (including orientation). Perhaps its much better to leave it to theory and to get creative than to have lived it all. Especially when it's impossible to.


I will say, I must disagree. I have lost my virginity to every single type of partner in existance. I think this gives me an excellent set of experiences I can use to create my new Romantical RPG, wherein the player can change between 60 different classes of characters and lose his or her virginity as any of them.

Rm2k3- Can you make your hero target specific cords?

Personally my preference would be to do option 1. If that's not possible, due to making the map not work any more or look much worse, I would do option 6. If I'm more concerned with not spending much time on it than with how it looks, I'd teleport, since that's by far the easiest.

Why aren't there more tutorials on the basics?

I totally agree with WIP as well only with 400% more venom and spite. Because everyone needs more venom and spite.

OK, that's the same thing that's on the front page that I just complained about, but the version you linked does at least say which game each thing is from. But it still shows new files and blog posts, not comments.

Perhaps the writer is a researcher of romantic theory. That would seem far better than simply being a romantic, to me. Like the difference between a science fiction novel being written by a scientist versus a pilot. Or the difference between a historical fiction novel being written by a historian versus an old person.

Edit: Now checking to see if my university offers a major in romantic theory

Isn't this what subscriptions are for.


Is there a way to subscribe to every page on the site at once? And then automatically subscribe to every future page that's added, as soon as it's added? That would be kind of nice. Then I could see, "Oh, hey, these four games are the most recently updated, and I've never heard of any of them. Maybe I'll look at the page for one or two of them and see what's up." Not sure how spammy that would end up being, though. Would need some sort of auto-delete after one week.

A lot of us just want to see what people are talking about lately. Replacing the list of recently updated files on the front page with a list of recently posted comments would be a nice change. Seeing the first half-line of the latest ten comments would be way more interesting than seeing a list of "THETITLE.png" and "wip_battle2.png" and "S4.JPG". Which is basically useless. It doesn't even tell you what game it's for.
