Oh, wow. This game looks awesome! I can't wait to play it, despite how hard it is to tell what's in that nighttime picture, heh.

Okay...um...oops?
I'm not going to apologize -- I'm just going to say that I'm stupid (!).
Don't know exactly what happened, but everything should be okay now. I've just now uploaded the file again, and it seems to be pretty functional. I also have a couple of screenshots to wave!

I have no idea how you managed that title screen animation with a single backdrop, but, Wow!
It's also quite interesting to see how you draw your sprites.
(Bet you can tell I'm having a nice time peeking through your game)
Anyhow, my brain kinda farted when I was faced with the status screen, so I thought "Hey! I'll add all of my points into speed! I'll be invincible".
However, it seems you took the advice to set the aim of my attack to poor, so that didn't exactly work out too well.
The introduction was a bit odd and mind-boggling, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it was bad.
Well, I'm off to rework my stats and try not to get 2-hitted by that dog pack. |

You can skip the title screen with a bitset now, allowing you to plotscript your own if you wish.

It was actually his ability to get that spiffy animiation from:
that contributed to quite a large chunk of my amazement. |

you know, in the early days of PPl, that beginning animation flashed all those colors at the end of it. After we recovered from the seizures, he fixed it.

Interesting. The machine ate my post.

Hahah! I didn't mind so much at the time, but now I'm glad that he made me fix it. It wasn't very...professional.

Thanks. I mostly attempted to make them similar to FFVI sprite technique, with a few changes. I tried to make every sprite use only four or five colors (I failed miserably in that for Bueford and Archibald) in order to simplify things. That's the reason the hero is bald.

The character building screen definitely needs reworking at some point down the road. It is ugly and overwhelming to look at so much white text strewn all over.
Incidently, was the yellow highlighted text obvious enough, or was it difficult to tell which line you were on?

Yes, and thank you for it -- that saved me aeons of time spent recaliberating stats.
I have to say that I love the Final Boss. Not the final boss, but the enemy titled "Final Boss." It's the tentacled thing in the first screenshot. All final bosses have wings, so I gave this one some too. |

I just realized that it would be in your best interest to employ the 'suspend player' command.
I wasn't able to realize that I wasn't supposed to move around when people were talking until my fifth replay. |

Um, yep!
Now I remember that was the thing Hakkun wanted me to fix. It's a good idea, too.
I didn't have it on because I wanted to be able to quit a cutscene during the debugging process without have to watch the whole thing. I'll change it now. |
