I'm sad that he didn't want to discuss the project. I messaged him a while ago and got no response. Not everyone wants to live in the early 90s.<br /><br />Of interest when I've been looking at the EXE files for Wizard's Lair - V20.0 has all the items spells, etc, in plaintext in the EXE. V2.20 & 2.22 have them obfuscated. <br />I haven't tried to decode the text files that are in the directories. They probably use a simple XOR or inversion algorithm.Loschahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770314959486300659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-74789193049450068162018-06-18T21:52:41.655-04:002018-06-18T21:52:41.655-04:00Yeah, good call .Yeah, good call .CRPG Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238237377918550322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-91445341558400155542018-06-18T21:41:03.409-04:002018-06-18T21:41:03.409-04:00If that's the case, you might want to redact t...If that's the case, you might want to redact that Facebook link.

There are still plenty of RPGs made by those.<br /><br />Underrail is going to receive an expansion pack soon, Iron Tower (the guys behind Age of Decadence) are working on a sci-fi RPG called The New World, the husband-and-wife team behind Serpent in the Staglands is working on a cyberpunk RPG called Copper Dreams, Jeff Vogel of Spiderweb Software just kickstarted a new game, a Baldur's Gate style game called Black Geyser has been kickstarted recently, and I'm also part of a small indie studio working on a classic RPG called Realms Beyond.<br /><br />That's 6 RPGs to look forward to in the near future. That's not what I'd call a dead genre.JarlFrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139422412722665286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-69905833023876863312018-06-15T17:10:53.138-04:002018-06-15T17:10:53.138-04:00We'd be so lucky if the blog survived that lon...We'd be so lucky if the blog survived that long.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-50973625983277976362018-06-15T14:37:27.706-04:002018-06-15T14:37:27.706-04:00Even if you are correct in this absolutely ludicro...Even if you are correct in this absolutely ludicrous assumption, there are plenty of new CRPGs released every year.

I think it's just difficult enough, with enough mysteries, to keep me wanting to play. I'm a bit further than you - level 11, explored the wilderness, and have almost mapped the entire Grey-Walled Dungeon. A couple notes:<br />- Dungeon maps seem to be 20x40<br />- There is some more gold in Grey-Walled Dungeon. You can get unlimited if you want, but it's a bit cheesy<br />- I'm not entirely sure, but I seem to find more magic items as I raised my Magic Sense skill. I've only found one magic weapon, but a fair number of consumables and some decent misc items.<br />- There are a couple other special encounters and places in the wilderness I've found, some I haven't figured out yet. Not sure you've found them.<br />- Torches are cheap, and seem to last a surprisingly long time. I suggest using them over the light spells, as they're rather expensive spell point wise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-16039884630903643132018-06-14T08:01:39.225-04:002018-06-14T08:01:39.225-04:00It's always satisfying when you get over a hum...It's always satisfying when you get over a hump and find your groove.
