Four Sided Triangle

If the triangle were a 3d image, it'd have four sides, three triangular sides, plus the base. I'm guessing that's what he meant?

A Dust Tale

Lay off the text speech. Not everybody can speak gibberish.

Final Plans

Well, if it helps any you've been emailing the dl's to try, so haven't had the need to dl it from here as well, probably not until it's finished anyways. So since I've also subscribed, that should mean at least one that hadn't subscribed also dl'ed the game.

Finishing Blackmoon Prophecy + Further Improvements

Congratulations are definitely in order. While most would have given up a long time ago, you managed to keep your dream alive.

Crystalis: Sonata of the Far-Away Sky

I've been playing it off and on, but I'd venture about 1 hour so far and just beginning the swamp. It seems there may not be much beyond that, so you're estimate of about 1 and 1/2 hour may be about right.

Edit: Well, I beat the Swamp Bug, got the Gas Mask, entered the Poison area of the swamp, but how do I get passed those flames? I've used wind attacks on them, but nothing.

Video Update on Progress!

Whoot! Good luck on your gaming dev, and congrats to being married!

Crystalis: Sonata of the Far-Away Sky

Yep, in the swamp area myself, and had my ass handed to me. Damn pesky mosquito creature!

Going to have to employ some careful tactics now. Because of the direction the story is taking over the original, I'm curious to how some of the previous game's science (ie., the tower, technology, etc) will play into this.

I think what I miss most is the introduction, which was one of the reasons I fell in love with Crystalis back in the early 90's. Maybe a sort of homage to that introduction can be added as a sort of cut scene when certain plot threads are being revealed.

On a side note, this was one of the first games I had played that involved "death". Even if they were minor NPC's, I remember how freaked out my brother and I were to see dead bodies in an NES game. Ah, the memories. However, I am enjoying the direction you are taking this story, so it will be interesting to see what else occurs.

Crystalis: Sonata of the Far-Away Sky

Just started playing this and got through the rescue of Ruby so far. Here's some initial feedback, which I'll continue to add the further I play.

The ABS system works great here, better than most others I've seen. I usually steer away from action rpg games on the computer because of trying to memorize so many keyboard commands, but you've managed to keep it simple and yet effective. Just using SHIFT, Z, and X for example.

The music and graphics work very well here as well, and I felt as if I was sucked into the world of Crystalis once again.

Some things to point out:

1. I felt the first boss was more about luck than skill. Since his hands were out most of the time, you had a very small window to get in and hit him without taking damage, so I basically just spammed attacks and healed. Not sure if you want to alter the pattern where his hands are down a little longer, or if this was the intent. I guess I was looking more towards strategy versus just endurance.

2. I couldn't figure out how to get my herbs in the item list to work.

That's it for now. Great game so far, looking forward to playing more.

Edit: Figured out how the items work. Access menu and press the ESC key on the item of choice. Also, the world map is probably my biggest gripe so far, since it really clashes with the rest of the game's look and feel, but it's certainly not a deal breaker and probably makes it easier in developing new areas.

Eps 1-6 Released! Downloads added!

If I read correctly, there's 8 total episodes for the first game, right? Are the last couple supposed to be large, or are they going to be handled more or less the same as the others?

Dungeon Champion

My personal take, I'm not a huge dungeon crawler fan, but this one was acutally pretty good.

I played an hour into the demo, which is usually all I have time to invest in for demos these days. As for what I've seen here, this is a great way to show off your talents of what you can do, but the game itself seems to be lacking. Maybe it's because I prefer a more solid based rpg or dungeon crawler with an actual story behind it.

If you ever do decide on an actual jrpg, hopefully you'll consider implementing some of the features from this game.
