Re: Combat is *way* too hard

It kinda depends on the difficulty level. On easy, 150 is enough to kill everything, but some of the easier monsters can be taken on with stats around 100 or 110. Only the fighter should make swings and combat techniques the core of his style though. Wizards should focus on killing enemies quickly w...

Re: Combat is *way* too hard

Ironically, the original combat system in QFG2 was kinda like Mortal Kombat brutalities...start a beatdown and eventually your enemy dies without a chance to recover from the assault. I wanted the remake to be about more than brainlessly spamming the attack button. I'd give tips to increase your per...

Re: What would I need to pitch this idea?

I'm not even sure myself if a game like Dragon's Lair is a viable thing for a non-profit project...it's essentially a full-length cartoon and you usually have entire animation studios work on that kind of thing. What might help is a storyboard document that contains information on exactly what art a...

Re: communication and bargaining

It's one of those stats that raises slowly but steadily if you show politeness and courtesy. It's not easy to grind it to 200 at the beginning, but there are ways to make sure it's near 200 as your time in Shapeir is near its end: - Greet everyone before talking to them and say goodbye before leavin...

'cause it renews interest in a game after the initial enthusiasm dies down.

That said, the easter egg I spoke of before is triggered if you overgrind a certain stat in a well-known way.

Re: Programming, what to learn for game making?

For AGS, some basic C/C++/C# knowledge is more than enough to pick it up. If you're already familiar with the basics of programming, like how to use variables, if-statements and while-loops, using AGS shouldn't be hard. Other than that, you just need patience. Lots and lots of it. http://www.agdinte...

One way to decrease honor without getting bad feelings is to visit Harami in the bazaar at night. Go there, give him some food, then keep entering and leaving the screen. Each time you leave without giving him something or acknowledging his presence will decrease the honor stat, but it's less likely...

Re: Widescreen Support QFG2/etc games..

What worked for me (though it depends on your video card and drivers) was to adjust the digital panel settings of my video card to maintain the aspect ratio of the game. This caused the video card to do the letterboxing thing on a widescreen monitor without having to mess with the game's settings. (...

Re: QFG3: No one seems to know exactly how paladin thing wor

Nevertheless, if your honor stat is too low, you still won't become one despite swearing the oath and arranging the peace negotiations, so the Harami trick is generally still a good way to prevent the paladin class change without having to break character. http://www.agdinteractive.com/forum/images/...

In the original, that was the only place to reliably up your climbing skill. (at least without having to buy expensive magic ropes) In the remake, the griffin cliff and tree at the oasis give more climbing experience than the magic wall. http://www.agdinteractive.com/forum/images/avatars/moodpics/Na...
