Dungeon Master Forum

I've advanced pretty far, am into the castle. So far, so good:the side quests are interesting, there are a LOT of secrets to find. If you like a dungeon where weapons and trading is your thing, you will love this! "All weapons and armor were strengthened". Not sure this is the case, from w...

There's a button behind a table in one of the shops

I'm making progress - am at the moon key door. The dungeon is sort of like what I have done before with the original DM - a moderate amount of editing with some new areas. It's pretty straightforward to play, and enough to keep me playing. It's not in the same boat of Tower of Champions, but a prett...

Interesting stuff.

I am stuck at the very start - can't find any keys!

I liked the puzzles in Black Crypt, but were more physical than mentally challenging. It was slick to play, a load of interesting objects to discover and use and is probably why I have fond memories of it. I never completed Knightmare! I got to a section I couldn't pass, where monster spawning just ...

EOB2 was very good, but Black Crypt is the one that stands out. Great graphics for the time.

Bane of the Cosmic Forge (Wizardry 6) is probably my favourite - gameplay was phased with battles, but great story and loads of items. I have replayed it many times, and still haven't found all the weapons!

You definitely need 4 lanterns to progress at the end of the sleepy hollow. Is a very complex area - the ra keys do indeed allow you to double back and move a lantern further on, but you are rewarded with another in the new area. At least that is the basic premise. Though I haven't read jahmiann's p...

Indeed - there was the Team Dungeon from many moons ago which jump started a lot of interest within the community. New graphics, stories, editors and so on. Would be great to carry this forward into a wider audience.

Yes, a new ToC will be worth waiting for!

In the Cloud Castle there is a staff in the Hall of Fire I cannot get, behind a purple block. Also a winged key hole. Anyone know how to access these?

I can't remember where the Pain Hook was now! I imagine I will find it again shortly.

I wasn't sure the creature AI could be manipulated that way, very interesting.

Judgement had the the push creature attack - which also damaged them - which I found very useful. If I got stuck in an alcove I'd just shove the creature away, and the Kraken fight was a breeze.

Speed Sword gave a big extra strength addition, which in combo with its quick attack made it a good bet. I managed to have enough money for the Fury Axe as soon as I reached the Gypsy Wagon. +100 strength, which with the berserk option makes it very potent. Am using this axe an the standard sword, a...

This leads me on to damage calculation. In the original game, damage was based on weapon strength and attack mode strength. In RTC only the latter applies. So a Diamond Edge, for example, will only hit has hard as a dagger when you stab something. This can unbalance the weapons. You can of course cl...

I shall indeed PM him after I have finished my second run at it. I'd say that it was a challenging, but balanced game for a seasoned DM player. For a complete newcomer to the game, then they would struggle - part and parcel of this creation (well all, I suppose) is taking into account that people wi...

Things seem 'different' this time I am replaying. Very likely it's just me remembering how good my characters were at the end of my 1st attempt at the game, and I am not sure how weapon damage is calculated - but I am struggling to damage or even hit monsters. I seem to be only making contact with m...

Some of the stuff in his dungeons has time limits, then the object ceases to be.

Spoiler

Managed to get the Jade Axe past Quilp, but still not as good as my trusty sword Which in turn, seems a little better than the Amber Sword too

Very interesting! Once I have finished UD1.2 again I'll take a look for sure. Speaking of I have just completed the Amber Tower, and have already found plenty of things I missed the first time around. I somehow managed to miss Goro! Is now part of my team instead of Fahn. I also found the Amber swor...

I would certainly like to discuss this with Adamski, and yourself, when he returns. I would love to make a full RTC dungeon - I have made a few for CSBWin, and half of one for RTC (a sort of DM clone with a few extra levels which introduced me to the editor), but seeing what can be done has got my c...

I imagine he might be quietly observing and planning some more cunning creations! I wish more players would play it though. But sadly a lot of gamers want the latest 1st person 4k 100fps multiplayer blood fest games, where this has much more depth. Might have to try and push it on Facebook more, as ...

Yes, plenty of food for thought. I am going to replay the game from the start and see what else I can find.

I'll cut straight to the chase - this is a work of genius. It is far, far beyond what most people could ever imagine from the RTC engine or DM as a whole: just as Benjamin (Zyx) twisted and contorted Paul Steven's CSBWin with Conflux, Adamski has done the same with George's RTC and created a masterp...

The game is completed! The bane is ended. A few stats.. Only 57% of secrets, though when it was scrolling through some I had thought I'd done didn't seem to register (though I know of several I have missed and would probably complete when replayed). 1408 fireballs. 2 days and 4 hours to complete acc...

I have figured it out - there is a hallway with a master key lock earlier in the game - I missed the lock. If it is not used and that area completed first there is a dead end.

I can see the pit that has closed now- and can see what I am probably supposed to do. But I am still stuck in this area. I can walk through the grate while under the spell, and see the red statue, but can't open this gate.

Tried some earlier saves, but getting multiple crashes when trying the astral spell

I am at a part of the game near where the Sorcerers Hat is - but I cannot get out of that area. There is circle on the ground, if I astral project there and activate the teleporter, the bodies do not move. There is also a button across a pit, which when I am projecting and press, says 'a pit in this...

Amazing! I am not sure even George had some of these things in mind when he made RTC, but credit to him to making the editor so open. I never knew so much could be created, and Adamski has taking this beyond what I could ever imagine.

But it has got me thinking for my next creation...

Did anyone notice a slowing of the game when fighting those tall, horned green/brown knight type creatures? Not sure if it was a spell they cast or my computer struggling - though I'd be surprised tat the latter as I have an above average machine.
