me too

Hey Crush, did you make those examples with tiled ?
They looked like parts of maps that could be used...

A little modification, and you have a small map ready to play

Isn't a higher resolution mostly to see more ?

At least I remember that all those top down games I played
just increased the view-size. I was always happy too see more.

And btw: Thats one of the big reasons to play a game windowed.
Scaled to 1600x1024 tmw would look strange imo...

the trunk has exactly the size of the trunks used for the bridge pilars and the sign. those trunks must come from somewhere. Hmm but I never saw a sign that is made of a complete tree trunk :D Oh and don't forget that the bark needs to be removed and most probably some of the outer regions of the t...

lol, joytolerance even with no joysick attached

How can something like that happen, except with a very bad gameport ?

Sure that's true, but if they registered "The world of mana" it doesn't matter if we used it before. Maybe they just registered it earlier :) Al least there _is_ a chance that they could try to get the name and risk a lawsuite. (Concerning money they got better cards) You never know what c...

I must say that I don't like the Idea of never reaching a goal. Even with a no-cap system and without levels. Sounds a bit like Sysiphus to me :) And if you nearly got the 100% maybe some NPC master can give you the last bit so you reach the max. At least walking speed has a cap, no matter how caple...

Hmm yes, I think you're right. I was just thinking about a fighter, that uses a spell mid-fight to boost himself, heal or cast a minor attack spell. Such an easy and maybe often used spell should go along fine with a weaker monster. As the defender is maybe very skilled in using a shield. But a magi...

Wooooo, I REALLY have to agree with Bjorn that the tiles are way too saturated (at least for my monitor is use now :D ) I just switched monitor, and on my old CRT monitor it looked very nice and the color was absolutely ok. No thoughts about that. But now I switched to my LCD screen (a good one) and...

As I wrote in the original topic, shields are more rerouting tools :) Just as you said, you would end up with a broken arm. But if you use a shield to change the direction of the attack, all the power goes into air, just as if the attacker had missed you. Read that: http://forums.themanaworld.org/vi...

Higher proficiency with shields (or hand-to-hand blocking) increases block% but doesn't effect block%. ?? you mean ...effect notgettinghit% I assume. One Base thing about shields: The main use of a shield is to "reroute the attack", NOT to block it. Maybe the best way to explain it, is li...

I will try tommorow.

Hmmm... Thats exactly what TortoiseCVS tells you somewhere.
As it integrated in your Explorer and does some stuff.
And Windoze tends to need a high restart count

Thats what I thought too (some time ago), but it's not only Dodge%, it's also NotgettingHit% You can hide behind the shield and avoid getting hit. So physically the opponent just hits your shield and does no damage. Same as if he hits air :P System behind is that even a 0 damage hit is counted as a ...

I don't think of it as questing... It's just that you get essence of a monster on a regular basis, and from that you get stronger Potions. As you said some could also drop direct healing items, that could heal a little on its own and more if combined. Or maybe there is a "default" Potion t...

Imagine your in a cave with no way of being revived after you die, and your at 10 HP, but you see a easy monster that MAY drop a healing potion! If the monster had 0% chance to drop a healing item. Then that would majorly suck >.> Well but be honest: Would a Cake +20HP really help ? And we have mul...
