[CrimsonCasio]

hmm, samuri I dont that would work... perhaps I should list what I have at the moment (there will be more and if you suggest something I think will work nicely then I'll add it): Soldier (Warior), Mage, Mercenary, Outlaw.

remember, it has to have some part in the plot (see the first post).

[Andy.Davies]

i think id be a Merc then, aslong as they have some magic ability (even its only a small bit)

[CrimsonCasio]

read the first page, everyone gets the same magicall ability, but they may not be trained to use it. also the level up system will reflect what types of attacks you use to vanquish your enemys.

[Andy.Davies]

cool, i must have missed that post or somthing

[CrimsonCasio]

lol, get a better calc, this game alone would make it worth it

[Andy.Davies]

lol, maybe when i get paid, thou im not sure what me parents would say...

probably somthing like:

"youve already got a calc, do you REALLY need another?"

[ross8653]

here's my responce

"because it's my money, and i'm not even going to tell you that i'm buying it i'm just gonna go do it"

[Andy.Davies]

nice responce, but u blatently don't know MY parents, they are quite old fashiond, they would probably ground me 4 a year and take away my internet access!

ill see if i can get one second hand...

[Bob Vila]

my parents can be the same way too

[Andy.Davies]

ah well, at leat it's not just my parents then....

======EDIT======

my parents said i can buy a new calc if i want, im probly gonna get an AFX 2.0

[CrimsonCasio]

yeah! yippy! Congrads!

[casiokingdom]

i think i'll have to look around for another CFX-9850GB PLUS (second hand) soon, as i need more room for my programs, notes and games.

[CrimsonCasio]

g e t - a n - A F X !
its worth the effort and money. plus in a school of CFX users you will increadably cool (or nerdy) carying around your AFX.

[casiokingdom]

i think nerdy!

[Andy.Davies]

im the only person that i know of in my college with a graphic calculator, the only other is the maths teacher and he hasn't used his in so long, he dosent even know where it is!

[Bob Vila]

my sister goes to BYU and when she busted out here CFX in her chemistry class this guy asked her "What do you do with that program sattalities?"

[CrimsonCasio]

Today, I sucsessfully killed my first enemy, 2~3 days before beta release, depending on how long I can sit down at one time.

[Andy.Davies]

hey crimson, when is the release going to be? as you said 2 or 3 days, on the 2nd of september, it now the 17th...

[CrimsonCasio]

I'm trying to work a few spells into the battle system before I release the demo, but as for sending it to you beta testers I cant because I'm at my moms (I'll be back by friday). mabey by then I'll have more done.

(Also I have been working alot with my classpad recently because of all thats going on, but now I'm trying to test that freeze up bug so I should have time for Lydonia)

[CrimsonCasio]

hey, how would you guys feel about the battle system being able to handle an infinate enemys VS your small pathetic force of 3? I believe I have found a way to quickly insert any number of new enemys after the battle starts, so now I can better simulate actuall war, instead of having a series of battles I can just toss about 100 enemys at you. if I did something like this I could also include leader status on some enemys, so if they die the battle would end (dont you hate having to beat the little grunt after the boss has died?), it would also allow for some more interesting stratagies and mabey another AI mode (Protect mode). on the minus side this game is getting HUGE and for the first time since I owned an AFX I am beginning to fear running out of memory ( I've still got pleanty, but right now there is very little plot...)

I personally like the idea, but if there is an overwhelming cry of "too much!" then I wont include it. also, ther is about a 1% chance that this will be included in the demo, for obvious reasons...

Beta release compleation: 85%
Battle Demo: 45%
Game Demo: 40% (50 once i finish the battle)
First Release: 20%

[ross8653]

no offense but should this really be pinned?

[CrimsonCasio]

i know there are alot of pins right now, but they will be cleared up soon.

[Andrzej]

It's only Idea... But have you thought about rewriteing Lydonia on Classpad ???

[CrimsonCasio]

Actually I'm planning on it, CasPaint was made so I could have a good way to creat graphics for games.

[CrimsonCasio]

I'm unpinning this since I'm so busy with classpad stuff I dont think I will have much time to work on it for a while (I havent given up but its on hold for a few other projects).

[alias4399]

sounds pretty cool, too bad i dont have a afx

Yes, it sounds sooo good!!!! I feel the same way, Bob.

[huhn_m]

this is quite an old topic. I think bob has an FX calculator by now

Too bad crimson is no longer active

[alias4399]

Whoops, sorry Bob

Too bad crimson is no longer active

What, you mean he no longer posts anymore ? ...

[huhn_m]

he was last on the forum in the end of january.

I think he changed some things in live ...

[casiokingdom]

I think he changed some things in live ...

Must have been some pretty drastic changes, since he was the top poster for a number of years. I don't think any of us saw it coming.

[huhn_m]

no. one day he just wasn't there any more and after nearly 3 months I tried to contact him by phone. he then posten rarely again but it came to a halt again...

[CrimsonCasio]

increadalby i still work on this from time to time... i have come to believe i'll never be able to quit calcs unless i finish at least one version of this damnable project

[casiokingdom]

I'm beginning to think this project doesn't even exist
Why don't you pass Lydonia on to someone else?

[alias4399]

Sounds like you dont like working on it, and thats a bad thing.
It sounded really good (even though i wont be able to play it).

[tutti]

I'd try to help, but CFX is all I know and have, so I doubt I'd be of much help...

[CrimsonCasio]

heh, dont get me wrong, i like working on it, but every time i do i spend days thinking about nothing but the game. burns me out every time... quicker if i run into something that drives me nuts.

the code for the last version i released is out there somewhere. though any future version of this game i release most likely will not be based off of it and possibly not be on a platform that currently exists

[huhn_m]

(and before you say just like MLC2 .... I expect a new version in about 2 weeks. Got my notebook back 7 days ago and can now go into production again )

[CrimsonCasio]

if, and thats a big if, i ever release something new for a calc, it will be in MLC or CPlua... so hurry and finish it

[huhn_m]

ok. July is releas! So you can already start thinking about the concept
