I've been at making games for RPG Maker for almost 20 years! No, they're not ALL Dragon Kingdoms games, just most of 'em.

I'm trying to figure out a good way to do characters walking through covered areas (such as a rooftop, treetops, and signs), and I tried out doing it event-based. It took too many events. Then, I went for character-based. There wasn't a good way to get enough characters to display without too many events. Finally, I went coordinate-based. I figured I did enough with it for one night last night.

Yay! Snow on a Dragon Quest-style map! I think that only ever occurred a few times in the series. Dragon Quest II, V, and VIII.
As for the desert on the western continent, that is one sparse desert. I take it that's the great desert of doom, while the smaller one on the northeast continent is just a general desert.

Questions you always wanted to ask other members, but felt too lazy or awkward to do so.
Count Zero doesn't have anything to do with either, as I was surprised to find out. It's actually a result of interrupting a process. It has much more to do with computer science than anything else.
Square-Enix release dates for early 2009
I have been saying since September than Square Enix would try for a Dragon Quest V release in February, and it looks like they are.
Get Dragon Quest IX in September 2009 and Dragon Quest VI in December 2009, and it looks like that's that for anticipated releases from the S-E camp in 2009.
(Edited to reflect that Dragon Quest VI isn't even ready yet)

Well, there was bound to be a down day sooner or later. The only thing I did Monday with my project was to check the Maximum HP for two characters... which I don't think counts.

demondestiny, I believe they were asking for endgame stats, that is, unless it is expected to reach level 99 in your game by its end (OUCH!).
I'll do both.
Dragon Kingdoms Birth of a Legend
End-game
(main hero) Akahr, Level 170, 392 HP
(highest HP growth) William, Level 10, 1036 HP
Maximums
(main hero) Akahr, Level 999, 2050 HP
(highest HP growth) William, Level 999, 99,999 HP
*Levels go up faster than you'd expect, though. It's really no worse than 255 in other games.

Depending on when harmonic started, I may have done it before him even. I started the RPG Maker VX version of Dragon Kingdoms: Birth of a Legend in early March.
The weekend of progress, it seems.
Friday, November 7
I opened up RPG Maker VX and loaded Dragon Kingdoms Birth of a Legend Episode 2, and my save from the "old" Episode 1, only to find that Episode 2 loads the old "return to title screen" event from Episode 1.
Well, I loaded an earlier save and it works fine, so I guess I'll just have to remove the return to title screen event.
Saturday, November 8
I used the save that worked before, and took a screenshot of the mountain path leading to Renzan Town, where a party member wanted to go. Now, he can be happy.
Sunday, November 9
I loaded up Episode 1 of Birth of a Legend and removed the return to title part of the end of episode event.
Well, I took the save to Episode 2, and it no longer returns to the title, but I still had a black screen, and kept running into King Mushies (Lv. 17 vs. Lv. 12 = DEATH). I faded the screen back in, and realized it was night.
So, it wasn't just referring to the last valid party in the old episode. Thank goodness.

Craze, you're doing custom monsters, too?
I almost feel silly trying to stand out in this crowd after all the excellent screenshots!
Hopefully that hero doesn't take another step.

Paladin's Q- er, Lennus-II
Lennus-II was released in Japan in July 1996 and was only recently translated to English.
Lennus-II is so underrated, it isn't even funny. In fact, the whole Lennus series is underrated. Lennus-II fixes many of the problems the original, Paladin's Quest, had:
-You can now save anywhere.
-It is much easier to tell what Spirits you get. They show up as icons when you defeat an enemy.
-Translation is MUCH better.
-No more ridiculous item/spell abbreviations! No more "Sft Rb" or "S sweat"
However, Lennus-II DOES have the same type of graphics. The otherworldly pastel colors make a return, though as of yet, they seem a bit darker. You also still use HP for spells (remember, there's no MP in the Lennus series)
