Following in Doomriser's footsteps; new RPG in production

Temjin · Post by **Temjin** » 2003-04-03 02:56pm

You're using RPG Maker 2000 for that? If you are, could you tell me where you got it from?

I used to have it on my computer, but I lost it in a hard-drive reformat. And the site I got it from does not exist anymore.

A new build is available, but I think I told you that already, yes?
Laptop is currently running Linux, will have to wait until home to get it.

New build? Steve, I'll get it from you later.

The Great Leader demands a role!

*smacks you down* Quiet you. I've been stomping Fivers far longer than you have. Thats why I have a role

Actually, Steve, I think you should start numbering your builds when you release them to the playtesters (e.g. 20030402 or 0045) so that you can keep track of changes - and you can also keep a changelog as well.

You might be The Great Leader now, but you weren't around during the events of The Fiver Menace.

If it makes you feel better, the endless storyline notes for Return Of The Troll include you and the rest of HAB. But ROTT is on permenant hiatis on the basis that while I can write the story and work out how to do Summonings, Class Transitions, and building your own little home on the World Wide Wasteland, I simply do not get work done on the game itself.

Ba, everyone on ASVS was promised a roll during the period I could actually be called active as well. We shall see what happens, we shall see....

Did you decide to give into my inane complaints and put me in it, Steve?

I want a cameo, no matter how degrading it is.

How about it's like that pagoda in Wutai in FF7, where you have to fight progressively stronger bosses. The HAB members could each serve as a boss, in order of seniority.

Hmm, perhaps.

And while he was toying with a game, my bro got an importable "monster" pic of an Abrams for an enemy....

Try finding more military vehicles. It would R0X0R!

Sounds good. I needed a reason why the HAB would teach the party an important technique.

But don't expect this game, oh... Ever.

Heh, the demo rocked, shame I haven't been here long enough to get most of the injokes...

On another note, is a fiver equivalent to a palm-fucker?

Fiver: Fan of Babylon Five.

Hey does that mean I'm in too?

(may I get a small role in this one?)

Why are people wanting roles in mine? It's ten pages of storyline and no coding work done. ARE YOU PEOPLE MAD?!

I remember when I called OutOfStep an idiot for claiming that even the lightest EarthForce capital ships could dish out scores of gigatons per second (or was it hundreds of gigatons?), even though the still more advanced Centauri used asteroids with kiloton-range yield to bombard the Narn. His response was like a grenade going off in a small room

Ahh yes, outofstep. You should do something similar with Macross/Robotech, the response would be even worse

outofstep's a wholly different thing: he's just fucking crazy.

I think he once said he raced an A-10 on takeoff or some nonsense like that. I stopped reading his posts a looooong time ago.

Outofstep? That name rings a bell. A "moron" bell, but a bell nonetheless.
