I like saying "Ficus". Ficus ficus ficus. But yes! Looks like you've been developing a background mythos to your system, eh?

Just the name "Bobbi Ficus" makes me want to know more, I am smirking already

BEHOLD! There is now an actual development blog! http://analogassociatesgames.blogspot.co.uk/ The latest demo version is on there! I'll still continue posting in here though, because I cravenly lust for attention at all times.

WELL IT IS TIME! I have been working my perfectly sculpted, surprisingly taut-for-a-man-my-age rear off, and I have an update! Now, the storyline proceeds through another spaceship, and allow the player to descend to a terrifying alien world! Well, it is not terrifying exactly, but it certainly advances the plot. One of the reasons it's taken so long is that I have re-done all of the cutscene vids from scratch. I'm sorry, but I just had to do it, I wasn't happy with them. As before, there is a "thin" version minus the RTP run-time- http://www.mediafire.com/download/jzkemnc34d81kdj/Galactic+Warlord+Demo+VIII+THIN.exe And a "fat" version containing RTP- http://www.mediafire.com/download/x89ws4atjc2rjep/Galactic+Warlord+Demo+VIII+FAT.exe PLEASE give me comments, suggestions, and General What-Not! I really need to sort out a proper development blog and such, but I am bad at that sort of thing. I need to either learn how, or source some assistance! Just saying. EDIT- bugger, had to just fiddle with a bit

Hmmm interesting point- I'm tinkering with the contrast and whatnot on the sprites and adding a shadow effect, they will look a little different in the next demo, Thanks muchly! It's progressing well, and there will be a bit more to see soon.

What kind of setting is it? The monsters fascinate me, but what are we talking here? Mythical beasts? Humans? How fantastical are we going, and is there a kind of theme you want for your monsters?

Heya! Nic to have you aboard. The locals are friendly!

I think ultimately in a lot of fantasy games magic can very easily become a cruth used to wallpaper over difficult to handle areas. For instance, in reality it would take weeks or months to recover from a serious battle, but magic allows you to insta-heal your way from one fight to another. The question you have to ask is, if magic is completely removed from a game what are youleft with- does it stand up as a good story and interesting idea. So long as the game itself has a good story behind it, there are always non-magical ways to handle anything, ultimately magic is just a short-cut to enable you to do things that would be dificult or tedious otherwise.

Many thanks! Not boxed but floor panels there- hopefully when it's all moving about it is easier to navigate! If you give the demo a go, see how you like it?

Ok how about things like- DRUNKEN FIST Devastating but difficult to perform blow 300% damage, 65% hit chance TIGER FIST STYLE All out attack with the power of the tiger, hold nothing back! 150% ATK for 3 rounds, 50% DEF for 3 rounds WHITE CRANE STYLE Rapid, defensive style that is difficult to penetrate 200% DEF for 3 rounds, 40% ATK for 3 rounds RISING BREATH MEDITATION Pause and regain focus through the use of instantaneous meditative trance After one round, regain 25% health NORTH WIND STRIKE Attack the enemy with the palm of the hand, deliver a deep blow to the chest On successful attack, enemy is stunned for two rounds SCORPION HAND Rapid, stinging attacks to sensitive joints and tendons using the fingertips On successful attack, enemy's accuracy is decreased for five rounds
