Poor monster, all he wanted was some lovin'.

I need a tophat ;_;

Ah my good sir/madam, if it is a tophat you wish to have, then a tophat you shall have. It might be a tad large, but I am certain you can tailor it to your needs.

I made it for RPGMaker XP so it makes use of opacity I am afraid. If you require a sprite for 2k3 I am sure it can be arranged.

Nordic mythology short stories

Another thing you could use is Microhorror. As they can't be any longer than 666 words, they'd be perfect for basing a miniseries on.

While I'm certain that would work, my mind is kind of set on Nordic mythology. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Nordic mythology short stories

I doubt I could help with the writing, sorry, but I dug up a few things from Google that may offer a little bit of help:
Thor and the Midgard Serpent
The Death of Balder
Thor in Vinland
A site containing various other tales

Norse mythology is open to interpretation, so it might be difficult to make into something more visual like a game. I'd certainly like to see you try this, though, even if it's only loosely based on the original stories!

Wow, those links are great! Especially the first one, which linked to a treasure throve of short stories about trolls and Norwegian folktales. (http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/folktexts.html).
Thanks alot!

Nordic mythology short stories

author=Caz
In my experience, Nordic stories tend to be quite long.. not that I've really read very many of them, but the ones I have done were complicated and not really too suitable for short games.

Doesn't really matter if they are complicated, I'm confident I can make most stuff work, if I just have something to work with.
I wouldn't even mind making something like a "movie-game".
Seems like finding stories is a no-go. I've searched for some for several hours now.
So, uh... Would anyone be interested in helping out with writing one? I'll be trying to write myself, but to be honest storywriting is not my thing at all.

Nordic mythology short stories

I am kinda tired of working on big projects for the time being, so I have come up with a little bit of a fun project I can work on. Basically it goes like this: I make a set of short stories into a series of games.
Now obviously the stories is going to need at least a common topic. I am really fascinated by nordic mythology, especially trolls, so I choose this topic.

Nordic trolls are really different from how they are depicted in movies and games today, by the way, read this:
http://fantasycreatureencyclopedia.blogspot.se/2008/05/troll-norse-mythology.html

Now to my problem: I can't find that many stories, except for a few classics, like "The changeling".
Obviously not all the stories would work as games, either.
I am going to try to write a few stories myself, but I would much prefer someones else's work.
So I ask this, does anyone know of a collection of relatively short stories with nordic mythology in them, especially with trolls and/or other magic creatures? (I am aware of "Bland Tomtar och Troll, but can't find them anywhere).
I don't mind stories not professionally written, heck I wouldn't mind if someone here wrote them.

Oh, one last question, does anyone know where I can find a tutorial for this program? I don't know HOW it works, whatsoever.

Try the help file. It's located in the "Help" folder wherever you installed the program.

Miserere completed

Thanks NicoB, it's a great feeling you get that moment you complete it and upload it. And then you start worrying about bugs, inconsistencies, typos...

I've redrawn this watermill twice now, but I'm still not happy with it. It's fully animated and stuff, but something's off.. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make it look better? :(

It's 2Dish, while the roof and other stuff around it is 3Dish. In other words, you should be able to see the top of the wheel.

I also have two games with a total of 203 downloads between them. Not one "can't run it" comment yet.

Splendid, I shall then commence my work on a game in this engine!
Oh, and would you mind linking those 2 games? I would very much like to try them.
