I appreciate if you use ROT13 for explicit spoilers for the current game and upcoming games. Choose the "Name/URL" option, pick a name for yourself, and just leave the URL blank.Ĥ. It makes it impossible to tell who's who in a thread. I will delete comments containing profanity on a case-by-case basis.ģ. I don't want my blog flagged by too many filters. Please avoid profanity and vulgar language. (For instance, that GOG is selling the particular game I'm playing is relevant that Steam is having a sale this week on other games is not.) This also includes user names that link to advertising.Ģ. Do not link to any commercial entities, including Kickstarter campaigns, unless they're directly relevant to the material in the associated blog posting. I welcome all comments about the material in this blog, and I generally do not censor them. You'd have your own personal Gold Box game, and it'd be kind of a community-created thing. Would you like me to post a suggestion to the FRUA bulletin boards that, hey, the CRPG addict is going to get to FRUA eventually, would anyone like to make a game for him? You could say what you want to see. So, crazy thought: eventually you'll get to FRUA, maybe in a year or so in real time. FRUA, on the other hand, had the D&D franchise to build a user base, and eventually enough that hacks were produced.
The natural comparison is with its spiritual successor, FRUA, which had some success in the 1990s and people are still occasionally making a few games for over 20 years later. It also has relatively limited ability to record permanent changes (there are only 15 global flags) so it's much harder to have an overarching story or plot. I had this as a kid and never made games with it. Hm, I think that's how an official TSR Hobgoblin would have been dressed around this period, but wearing the trademark orc pig-face. I don't think this is anyone's understanding of what a "goblin" looks like. They hadn't yet begun actively salting the fields by buying, then shuttering, the competition. Up through 1990 I think they were burning their developers on a case by case basis rather than as a matter of standard practice. (Honestly, has EA never not had a rubbish reputation?)
Judging by inXile's 2004 "The Bard's Tale", their contractual settlement with EA may have involved being allowed to use the Bard's Tale name but not any of the characters or ongoing scenarios from the series. I'm curious what changed in the intervening two years, as here we are with a Bard's Tale title with no EA involvement. EA had released four from '82-85 and there were a few echoes (Marble Madness Construction Set?) bouncing around on store shelves until the concept was commercially extinguished. I don't think it's that the Bard's Tale franchise was approaching its best-before date, but that the "Construction Set" fad was rapidly receding. The last Bard's Tale game was three years old at this point The Bard's Tale seems like an odd one for a construction set.
