ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I've done four gameplay videos so far. None of them very successful. I plan on doing some different races/classes and hopefully do a character through the first two dungeons.

Yeah
(and you must hate skeletons ;> )

As for me:

Some of the next beta particle effects

not to be mean or anything, but I got my first mage I played (after watching this) down to the bottom and killed the shade

good luck! you can do it.

Nice Shoob!

I've got videos up of the first two dungeons. I finally had better luck with elite archers this time (I even killed one). The shade was really easy with freeze.

I was beginning to wonder if I had just gotten super lucky all the other times I breezed through Amon Sul. Stupid skeletons!

I lost the character when the game froze up on me. I should be able to get another mage up to this point without too much trouble.

I added an audio commentary to the Ammon Sul play through. Might be useful for people just starting out on mages.

Edit: I forgot to add the link to the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBCzDhEpGQk

Oh I love that !
May I post it on the blog/site ?

Sure!

I'm going to see if I can't get a commentary together for the Trollshaws. I also got a mage up to the Old Forest again. I'm looking forward to videos of that as well.

Trollshaws playthrough/commentary is up on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oHkfYz5DUc

Edit: Anyone having a hard time hearing the audio on this one?

Nice but yes not loud enough :/

I've hopefully gotten a handle on the sound problem.

New videos are up:

Old Forest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2f9JXMZxSI
The Maze http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToZnRlTHvvc
The Sandworm Lair http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIoO9HOAnu4

These are a complete playthrough (sped up a bit) of each of these levels, with my wonderful audio commentaries. They do contain spoilers.

Enjoy!

Next stop. . . Tol Falas!

Edit: You can also see all of the videos in my channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/somearic

Skeletons are very mean. I think the problem with the archers and mages is that there is no nice an easy way of detecting them before they hit you.

I'd even just like to know where they're attacking from:

"An archer shoots you from the south!"

or just pretend that your character is too busy searching the ground for treasure to notice anything in the air flying at you

Next beta will display a "hit warning" in the form of a small 40 degrees particle shield oriented in the direction of the attacker

I really like that idea DG.

I've got three more videos up. They take you through the final dungeon of the game and the final quest.

Final quest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWMhs1NiIFY

I have no idea how some of you folks were able to kill everything in that final area. You must have been pretty high level.
