> I'll take a shot at beta testing. I'm bored these days anyway... Bongo' is working hard on all those ASM hacks... I'm waiting for more FEDA script work... I'm thinking of buying a new game... Give me the rom, and I'll get to work on it asap :D
Super! I have a bunch of items I need to sort out and round up for everyone, including the insertion system files. I have this crummy slow internet right now, but I will send you my original ROM that I dumped from my own cart, the V99 patch that was in the ASM inserter file, a cheat that Taskforce created (...can't remember what it does, exactly...), and a nice comprehensive FAQ that someone wrote in 2006, that he claims is his "own translation", but in fact used my almost exact storyline verbiage all the way through, hee-hee... I don't care... It's all about the fun!
By the way, Taskforce handbuilt the font in this game, to match the "tone" and "flavor" of both Dragon Warrior and the Taloon character, in my opinion, one of the best fonts we have ever introduced to a project. Necrosaro incorporated the VWF assembly. Oh, when you, Bongo`, and Taskforce start discussing font for our "secret" project, TF would like to custom tool the selected style to make it truly unique, so you guys need to talk!
BTW, one of the first monsters you encounter in the main dungeon in a Drakee! You will be "whomping" yourself with a club or something, har-har!
This game can be danged aggravating! It's all random luck. You can have great equipment and die for want of a loaf of bread! Or, you can find enough bread to feed Somalia (or Valencia, in the Charleton Heston movie, El Cid), but not locate a simple stick to use for a weapon!
The magic needed item to escape the dungeon and build your shop is the "Escape" Scroll. The music is fabulous in this game. If you are a Dragon Warrior nut, as I am, you may get hooked on this game. This one is fun to beta test, because the dungeon layout is always different.
Look for a completed script, with all of the grammatical aspects in order, as well as the usual glitches. If you find some needed corrections, hopefully we can figure out the inserter again. I will send you all the workings and you can do the updates yourself so I'll get less distracted from Feda. I get distracted enough just playing the darn game!
