Re: Characters You Have Never Used

Since the original release on Amiga I've always used the same party, so I never used any of the other characters, hahah.

Re: Let's Kickstart an Open Source DM Engine

As a way of testing my own ideas regarding combat in a DM-style game, I was fantasizing about making a DM style game in Godot Engine.

But my next planned project is a Dark Souls style fighting game. Just need to stop procrastinating but now that Devil May Cry 5 just got released....

Re: How do I download Dungeon Master for my Windows 10 computer?

I played using an amiga emulator. It felt like it works better for me, since you can upscale and stuff like that with an emulator. The ports are sometimes a bit iffy on things like that.

Are the DM extracted assets available somewhere?

Hi, thinking of starting a clone to try some gameplay ideas. Are the graphical / sound assets of DM available in a convenient form anywhere? I tried looking into the gamefolders of the existing clones, but they seem to be formatted in a quite specific way for those particular engines. Although I'm r...

I couldn't find anything about Crystal Dragon, only a console game called Dragon Crystal. Is that the one you mean?

Re: Can i collect 4 corbums before going to Ful Ya?

Hmm, I'm playing the Amiga version but it doesn't seem to work for me? I'm supposed to press the button, run to the corbum alcove, step forward when the pit closes and then sidestep left asap?

It took me many tries and when I finally succeeded I fall down that pit as well :(

Re: Can i collect 4 corbums before going to Ful Ya?

Hi all, I'm almost at the end and I've just got the Dain corbum, with only Ros left to go. But I can't figure out the fake pit skip to get around to Ros. From the map: http://dmweb.free.fr/Stuff/3dh/csb/default.htm?1,26,27 31,24 and 32,25 are fake pits. But all of the other pits to the east seem to ...

Re: Are defensive actions / spells worth doing?

Actually, I had a thought, if Parry, Block etc have no effect, is the reverse also true? Berzerk is supposed to have a large defence penalty, does this mean it doesn't really matter?

Hello, how is this project going? I was excited to see it, as I wanted something with window scaling and faster mouse updates! Thanks so much for doing this :D

Re: (2nd?) Best game in DM's genre?

Really liked The Bards Tale and it’s first sequel (Though the fighting is turn based). Concur with Terkio that Bloodwych was excellent. Also the EoB series. Despite your last line, it would be a real shame for anyone to miss out on Tower of Champions (v4.0) for RTC, which is outstanding. I also nee...

Re: (2nd?) Best game in DM's genre?

Thanks for all the replies. Does anyone like their listed games more than DM/CSB? Or is everyone talking about equal-first / second best sorts of things? Also, random thought that's not worth making a thread for: Unlike the fantasy-themed GUIs of most RPGs, DM has an art design that looks a lot like...

(2nd?) Best game in DM's genre?

In this genre, I've played DM, CSB, DM2, EOBeholder 1 & 2, a bit of Captive and Hired Guns, Might and Magic World of Xeen, and half of Grimrock 2. I don't count it as "same genre", but I'll mention Ultima Underworld 1 and 2 as well. When it comes to pseudo-3d, step based, party based, ...

Did some puzzles only get figured out by datamining?

Hi, just curious, do we know whether some puzzles only got figured out after people started looking at the data files? (or spoiled in a developer-assisted strategy guide, if there was such a thing.) For example, the "Vexing vexirk" puzzle, where you have to fear the vexirk back to the shri...

Really? Why is that? I saw somewhere that Dain was the easiest so I was going to do that next. Or are you saying it's best to leave the easy one for last?

Re: Are there any clones that fix the useless items / rebalance?

Also I guess I'd be interested in something that rebalances the game a bit (like make Parry / Block / Stun more obviously useful, and make staffs more useful etc.) Obviously useful? I thought the consensus here 18 years ago was that block and hit did nothing in the original game, and that parry was...

Hi, I'm nearing the end of my first path (ku) and level 00 sounds like a pain. Just wondering if i can go back and do all the paths for all 4 corbums before going up to destroy them?

Hi, I couldn't find anything in the technical documents on DM encyclopaedia about how defensive actions (block, party, etc) and spells (shield spell, fire shield, etc) actually work. Certainly in game I can barely tell that they're making any difference at all. It feels like the time and mana are be...

I got it working under WinUAE, yay! For anyone else that has this problem, it was tricky.
