ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Sorry for bumping my own thread, but it must have gone invisible! I can't think of any other reason why Tome players and devs wouldn't be interested in www.gog.com! Yes, GOG.com, that site where you buy indie games (and classics like Baldur 1-2, PS: Torment, Fallout 1-2, Duke 3D, Unreal Tournament e...

Maybe someone should inform him, then?

"GOG will respond to all indie submissions and is offering cash advances for projects in need of a budget boost."

This would destroy the balance in the normal game, but maybe it's worth consiering in that upcoming orc game that Darkgod has talked about? Imagine that there was a place where the player could hire a bodyguard, that could perhaps work like the pet in Torchlight. Let's call this place "Hire-A-S...

I agree on more random room types for Trollmire and similar ways to make the dungeons feel more unique with each visit. I'm not sure how well miniquests would work without being hideous... The simplest way to implement it would of course be to have a "pool" of pre-designed side quests wit...

I dont know what roguelikes the OP has been playing...Most of them are absolutely horrid,in a good way, and destroy you sometimes without even making it clear how and why you died.... You need to play for ages to have a chance of finishing... I've mostly played Angband, plus some Rogue, NetHack and...

Would be interesting to hear how the battle went. Don't take unneccesarry risks when you're so close to winning!

You know the game is fully editable, right? I'm pretty sure you could do everything you just described with the addons system, though compatibility might be tough. You'd need to learn some LUA/coding, but quite frankly any graphical design interface is always going to either have very limited capab...

Hey all, this game is truly epic and awesome already, but I have a suggestion. It needs much more randomization. What am I thinking of? Randomly generated world with towns, dungeons etc. with a setup screen. If it would work like that, this game could be the RPG of the decade easily. What do you th...

Also uh, not to undermine your ingenuity, but I don't think "use Aim because it's bugged" really constitutes a trick. Nor can I agree with your reasoning that "broken skills are a good thing as long as I personally get to abuse them once before they're fixed". I think you're con...

Hear me, o powerful Darkgod ! Imagine a scenario editor with a user-friendly what-you-see-is-what-you-get interface that would let us make simple non-randomized custom levels for ToME4! The Tutorial module would be a good example of what could be made with such a level editor. Here are some more ide...

I agree mostly. Random bosses are by far the worst. It often takes the fun away, when a carefully built player is smashed instantly. Even out of depth characters can do this at times, such as nagas in old forest! When it comes to out of depth monsters, I guess they can be interesting as long as the...

I agree with some of your gripes, but I wouldn't want the game to be in a state where exploits, broken equipment stacking, and unbalanced skills were the appropriate way to win. I think any skill that restricts action needs to be looked at; confusion and stun are two cases where you can be left in ...

Checklist: 10 Rules of Handling a Dangerous Monster 1. DETECT the dangerous monster before it can see you! 2. KNOW what the dangerous monster can do to you! 3. AVOID the dangerous monster that seems too dangerous! 4. SURVIVE the damage a dangerous monsters does to you! 5. RESIST the status effects a...

The biological definition for races is that they can interbreed (with fertile offspring), whereas species can't. Of course, in fantasy the terms are more or less used interchangeably. An in reality things aren't that simple either, it appears some "species" can and do interbreed after all...
