SHORTSTAR'S PROFILE

I thank you for playing it far enough to care. I've been back in the forum after taking some time off for a few years. If people want things added, I do add them for the most part.

The simple way to accomplish it is just to opt out of making 4 characters. In other secret games I've done in the past, now I just have a place where you can gather or dump party members, so if you wanted to do 1 at a time, you could, but if suddenly you say want 4 party members, then you're not restricted. Or if you want 4 and then suddenly want 1 that is optional.

Currently, I am on a trip and the game files are on a home PC until Monday. It should be easy to do.

There is no intelligent game design here, i think that I made this game over 3 weeks or 3 months. Something quick like that. Plus I love giving the player freedom of choice. That has always been my motif. Why lock a player into something when you can present them with a variety of things to play with. I know myself I don't like playing as a thief, but someone out there likes it. And playing with 1 character is really a player choice that I had neglected in Epiquest.

Make a search function and filter function.

I made a Flash version of RPG maker for my own insidious uses.

A lot of pro software has started to move over to a per month basis. Adobe comes to mind. With the Adobe shit it makes sense to pay $20 per month when they come out with new software every year. Why keep buying a copy and an upgrade for $500+ when you only need to pay $240 per year?

That's why I wrote a little pep talk of a how to make your first game telling people 1 town, 1 dungeon. That's all you need. Then say its done.

That was indeed the big issue I had with Battle of Olympus. If they had consistency in grinding, or removed grind altogether, it would have been a far better game.

Still, snake grinding aside, I enjoyed the game when it first came out.

Its weird, as a kid I remember the grinding. 2 specific situations including the salamanders. But when I played it a few years ago, I didn't feel there was grinding at least like I remembered.
