Been a while. Here's a taste of what's cooking.

I swear, if you go through all this effort to make this amazingly polished and tuned, and the first thing I see on my skill list is plain ol "Deals fire damage" I'mma be under your bed.

(for srs tho. don't neglect your gameplay for the presentation alone!)

I think the kind of people who don't even make their own dungeons are completely beyond help shouldn't be making games that contain dungeons.

The engineer's adorable!

The Hells are alive with the sound of music

What really got me on this train of thought was actually this:



Which evolves into the following themes as the game progresses:

Now, imo, the ideal solution is to simply have dungeon music with a ~5-8 minute main loop that plays through your minor battles. But that's about as appropriate for Hero's Realm as a Sphere Grid is.

That said, I was always considering discussing with piano and kentona about having a second battle theme for Chapter 5. Maybe even a different one for an especially foreign character like Dragon Quest 4. I know Piano is totally down for it as I would be too.


Whatever you end up doing, I'm sure it'll be sick! I dig what you've done so far a lot.

Obviously things like the Ginyu force will be different in Heroic Edition, but what about Mephistocles? Will he be Satan, Asmodeus, or Mephisto now?


Satancles? Asmodeuscles? Baalcles? Testicles?

...Kentonacles.

I'm a bit concerned that the same 90 second loop is going to be playing during... every non-boss battle encounter in the game? It's been so long that I forget if HR originally had a battle theme for each chapter.
The final version that zDS has done is a lot more pleasing to the ears. I don't see why it should be a problem, when most AAA games have had 60 to 100+ hour runtimes since the early 90s and have never changed up their standard battle themes. I don't even know if that's something people talk about.


B-But I'm talking about it! Am I people?

The "AAA" RPGs of yesteryear did a lot of things the genre shouldn't be proud of, like locking playable characters behind a safe-cracking minigame to sell paperback guidebooks.

The actual answer was that listening to anyone JPRG battle theme for 60 hours was grating and soul-crushing unless it was Mystic Quest's theme, but we just sort of dealt with it because we didn't know better. Granted, this is a game that hinges on random encounters and hidden items, but people are nostalgic for the type of tune. Not the quantity of that tune.

You're using the water tiles as your animated backgrounds, right? That's incredibly clever!

I wish I'd thought of it.
