Acheton: Like Chipping Away at a Mountain

On August 27, 2017September 4, 2018 By Nathan P. Mahney

Given that it’s been three months since my last post, you might think that I’d have made a lot of progress. After all, that’s like 100 days – plenty of time to finish most games that aren’t Moria or The Game of Dungeons v8 (or Fate: Gates of Dawn, for […]

Cruiser X-79 – Update #10

On August 19, 2017September 4, 2018 By Richard_of_TND

19th August 2017 More action has been taking place today. First of all, Saul suggested that I should reduce the animation speed for the aliens and also the explosion. Basically double the delay of the animation. Also I had a go at setting up level pointers, where after each level […]

Cruiser X-79 Update #9

On August 18, 2017September 4, 2018 By Richard_of_TND

13th – 18th August 2017 Not much happened on the game programming front, but at least I made an effort to do something for the production. While I was away from this project for a few weeks or so, I recently received some new graphics for the game. It wasn’t […]

Game #71: Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra (SNES) – A Game Unwinding (Finished)

A final score is strange to see in an RPG, but I suppose this indicates what quests I’ve completed KTOW? Anyone have any idea what this might do? It was difficult to gauge just how close to the end I was, and how difficult the final maps were going to […]

Game #71: Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra (SNES) – A Key Divining

On August 8, 2017September 4, 2018 By Zenic Reverie

I’ve really been overthinking this game This time after being eradicated, and resurrected, there were no negative effects. Maybe due to already going through the process he’s now paid his due, or it’s random. Moving on, I started to go through the rumors at each inn, but noticed how little […]

1 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201 Fort Dawnguard With all the pieces of Aetherium in our possession Serana and I had only to travel to the Aetherium Forge to answer one of the many questions the Dwemer left behind. Katria’s journal placed the Forge somewhere south of Ivarstead and we left before sunrise, […]

Game #71: Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra (SNES) – A Note with Rhyming

On August 2, 2017September 4, 2018 By Zenic Reverie

I’ll be honest; I have no idea what I’m looking at There are many reasons to avoid this version, and I’ve found a few more. The only reason I’m still enjoying the game may be that I don’t know any better, having never played Might and Magic on PC. While […]
