Castle Paradox

Leo

Just thought it would be interesting to see how long the average castleparadoxer actually has been using the OHR.

I didn't include all of the really early versions, but put them together into larger groups by the years they were released.

There is no option corresponding to the amount of time I've been using the OHRRPGCE.

I remember when the last two tiles of every tileset automatically animated, before there were custom tile animations. I remember the 4-map OHRRPGCE. I remember... well. You get the idea.

4 map, last-two-tiles here. I believe it was the oct 98 version.

back in those days, the wallmap editor could give you epileptic seizures.

I also believe you were limited to something like 1000 textboxes.

haha, i was around like 10 when i first started using it; has it really been that long?

sheesh, i've made so many games with it too, and not a one of them was released nor still exists (and not one of them got completed either).

i remember the 4 map limit; which i wasn't aware of when i first started using it. really bummed me down when i learned mr. smiley couldn't complete his quest because the world couldn't expand anymore.

I started using it around a few versions before "Handshake" and I've been using it ever since.

I found the OHR in the summer of 2001, I believe. I've been working on one game and one game only ever since. I remember that when I started, I must have seen some older version of the FAQ because I believed that I only was allowed 1000 text boxes, and I remember trying to think of generic things for townspeople to say that I could use in every town. Exactly what you DO NOT want to do (unless it were true that you only had 1000 text boxes). Now I just keep some of them in the game because it is kind of funny (to me).

Hmm... Seems there should have been some more alternatives in this poll. But it seems it can't be edited...

Ah. I love nostalgia. That's a decent list, Leo.

I joined in right after the number of maps had been expanded.

Plotscripting was the most significant update afterward, then things like editting strings/status targetting in battles and the windows port.

I've been here shorter than a great many people: since early 2002. Back then the updates were sparce and new games seemed more plentiful. You got a dozen entries to a game contest, yet few of the classic games people talk about came from that time. At least that's how I remember it.
