Hey Saz, I saw your Examiner.. .I think I found the real reason for Barrenhawk's rambling speeches

P.S.. I wanted to let everyone know that the BETA RELEASE for dying sun is now available! If you're looking for a brand new RPG with a focus on dialogue, with a Phantasy Star & Fallout flavor, plus a bit of off-the-wall humour, please download (it's free!) my new CRPG..

Oops, had to go to your site and hunt it up. It doesn't work as a link (I copied and pasted) I think that's why it didn't show. So this BETA, its finished (complete) and the only bugs are those that you don't know about? Need any proofreading or anything to take it to BETA 2?

realbinky · 05-23-2001, 01:39 PM

or not, all fixed

Sazerac · 05-23-2001, 01:44 PM

ROFLMAO, Slip! Lord Barrenhawk's secret is EXPOSED!

Now we need a shot of the toads doing "Bud-Weis-Er!"

I will download the Beta for Dying Sun when I get home. Good going!

Hi everyone!

The beta is complete, and represents about 25% of the entire game; I'm posting this first segment to get some feedback about the general interface, structure, etc., before I press on and work on the rest of it. The basic interface should be familiar to anyone who's played a console RPG before, although the inventory system is more reminescent of diablo or fallout.

If you catch any spelling/serious grammatical errors, bugs, strange occurences, or even a compliment *grin* I'd love to hear about them: You can email me at:
freudian@usit.net
or, you can visit the forum
and post your suggestions/bug reports there.

Hi Wyv! I wonder what Sebastio would drink.. hmm.. we should have a "name that beverage" for the major NPCs; Torin might have some sake; hmm..

Oh, I just wanted to mention one thing on Dying Sun; a couple of people have been confused by the to hit rolls in the battle screen; You need to roll LOWER than the "needed" value; for example, if you have a 40% chance to hit, you need a 40 or less, and if you have a 60% chance, you'll need a 60 or less, etc. Note that sometimes your roll may exceed 100; this can be do to certain things affecting you, such as being under the influence of a blinding cloud from an enemy, or having a ruptured eye; these don't actually lower your to hit chance directly, but they raise the sides of the die you roll; for example, you normally roll a 100 sided die for attacks. If you are missing an eye, you might roll a 150 sided die. Just wanted to clarify!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I uploaded patch version 0.82.. it fixed a nasty crash bug that occurred on a certain "special encounter".. also, the passcode for the sector C gate in the Cryex - 7 gen lab is fixed.

You can grab the patch here.
