iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Me too! I’m faintly aware that people are creating custom campaigns using FRUE, and that many of those also hack the game in various ways. I can only assume that also includes graphics. Have to look into it.

I love old crpg jank

My other comment prolly made it misleading, but this is actually Pool of Radiance, the first in the DnD Gold Box series! (I love Wizardry too, though)

110

I got a bit into Wizardry not long ago too. Love this era. My favourite parts are all the things that would never survive a typical modern game design pass. Resting in a inn in Pool heals 1HP per 24 hours. Pickpockets will straight up steal your shit in taverns. Coins weigh you down.

130

Trying to hold back my opinions until I've actually played through the whole game, but this experience has definitely made my relationship with the game a bi~t more complicated. (That's how things should be, though, when re-engaging with works experienced during childhood)

050

This is one of my foundational games, buried deep into my soul. But, it's the first time I've played it in probably 20 years, and the first time I've played it while reading every little bit of accompanying text in the adventurer's journal/manual.

250

I manually rolled my characters using AD&D 1e rules, because I like rolling die. Probably should have used a full hit die for level 1 though; my fighters are a bit too flimsy. It looks like the in-game generation uses at least a little over half of the first hit die when rolling.

050

Actually, I lied. The first party wipe (kinda) was getting caught in a tavern brawl before I had bought any equipment. It was non-lethal tho and just came out of it with fully unconscious party.

070

I booted up Pool of Radiance last night for some sick dungeon crawling. First party wipe: accidentally targeted my own party with sleep (hit target instead of manual). Helplessly slaughtered by kobolds.

Pros to being sick: my partner made the most amazing chicken soup the other day, and today she made a high-powered shin ramyun w/ additional egg & veges. *blessed*

My body amazingly held it together to complete a move to a new apartment last week, all while catching the flu. It's all fallen to bits now that I gave myself an opportunity to relax. I've been knocked out for days now.

Added slopes and ground variations to the previous test and also extended the map a bit. Next will be plants, trees and maybe some sprites. #pixelartㅤㅤ

Work in progress isometric pixelart tileset. Now with slopes and more ground variations.

44 tiles so far (x5 including the animation frames). Only two interior tiles atm though, the rest is all coast. The main pattern is a 15 tile pattern I often find useful that cuts the single-tile-width segments out of the standard 47 blob set (so water has to be at least 2 tiles wide, I'm afraid).

Thanks everyone!! I'm climbing out of a pit of despair thanks to your kind words.

Water...! Five frame loop. Migraine-inducing nightmare to draw, massive regrets halfway through. Next: rivers (and associated features), lakes?, and some impassable rocky coast/ocean tiles.

Every game should be a strategy game/dating-sim/RPG/life-simulation combined into one. Every game should just be Gunparade March.

One stand out for me watching this was finding out about the awesome box art for the SuperGrafx port. Illustrated by Yasuhiko Yoshikazu, the character designer of the original Mobile Suit Gundam!

I was able to power through a lot. Ty for the encouragement. I'm dead. The work will resume tomorrow (by my reanimated corpse).

Water tiles are so tedious to pixel, and the results aren't to my satisfaction. Give me the will to power through. 😑💢

Today I learnt ‘invested interest’ is incorrect. 🤚 I’ll promptly forget this, sorry.

It's an hour + talk, but it zoomed by for me while working. I do want to draw attention to the ~1 hr mark, where the freshwater ecologist rattles off some of the current damage being done. Knew it was bad, but didn't know it was that bad.

I don't expect this to be of interest to most following me here, but for those in New Zealand: A good talk about what's going on with agriculture here and a little about the challenge of rolling back the intensification (against all the invested interests). youtu.be/oMhYmACoWCA?...

I'm always scanning each axis like this when mapping, and implemented a rule very similar to this in code not long ago, haha. Just making sure tile doesn't repeat on either axis within the space of the game window. (may have been other ad hoc rules, can't remember)
