PSY_WOMBATS'S PROFILE

Curious -- was your class a standalone course or like an introductory class as part of a major/track? (I assume university level?)

Hey, thank you. I was able to continue. However, after playing several more hours and then saving, in the Wartorn World, I encountered what seems to be the same error: Array index out of bounds:

This is shortly after a character named Lara joined my party. I poked around in the .sav file this time, to see if I could find anything to fix, and it seems like David is still the 5th party member; a character entry with Lara's information is nowhere to be seen.

Seeing as to how this happened with BORG earlier, it seems like the game doesn't properly write the next guest character to the fifth slot.

Ugh, yeah, there's definitely something up with it. It's not 100% of the time though and I'm still working on a fix to the root problem, will put up a new download version when I can. In the meantime, if you post your save, I can at least correct it again.

Is it possible to keep my progress? Or is my save file lost.

I almost forgot to mention my Java version: Version 7, Update 45. It is several years old. I use this older version for another application, with which newer Java is incompatible. As an additional note, restarting my computer does not fix the problem.

I find this odd, because I was able to continue my save file earlier today.

Thanks for the error log, looks like something went wrong saving the game. There's a good chance it's recoverable if I take a look at the save file and see what's up. Your save should be in the savedata directory called 01.sav, 02.sav etc depending on the slot. If you upload it to the RMN locker or send it to me at psy_wombats@wombatrpgs.net I can try and patch it up (and hopefully fix the underlying issue as well). Sorry about the crash!

Well, the weirdness in FFL3's monsters have some charm for me. Those mechanical rodents for instance. The hags, even the fairies look a little on the weird side! But it's pretty unique, kind of appropriate for a game that diverges so much from its predecessors.

I've always had a soft spot for FFL3's monsters (well, some of them at least). For every deformed sphinx or bunny witch or mask thing, there's the roborat, the CACTUS robot family, the incredibly-specialized-but-still-cool families like the fossil dinosaurs, etc... They're a lot stranger and more fantastical than FFL1/2 that had a clear idea of families and what each family was supposed to do. We've taken that monster design philosophy for this game, which is probably why most of the monster graphics are from 1/2 as well.

But where FFL3 really shone was boss design. Pretty much every boss battle portrait in that game was vivid and striking, even the low level hag bosses. The Cthulu/Lovecraftian influence on the game's design really shines there as well. Take my favorite, AGRON:
