Eisengrim Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I got the ROM on my LTO Flash. Wow, what an opening sequence! I played the first level and so far it's so impressive. I was prepared for how good the graphics looked, but the character responsiveness and animation is smoother than I expected. Music is a nice touch, and the sound effects and graphics feel like this group has a real design language going. I did have some glitches that required a reset that I haven't seen on my other LTO Flash games; I'll keep an eye on it. Anyone else have any problems? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Spear Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I am open to paying for a DRUID-enabled ROM, in addition to the full item that I have already reserved, as well so I can play this on my LTO Flash. #doubleSupport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Could you describe those glitches with as much detail as possible? Even the things that anyone would think that are not worth mentioning, so I can gather an idea of what you are talking about? I developed the game on an LTO flash, and a team of seasoned betatesters have been testing the game for many months on an LTO flash, so I am astonished, if not flabbergasted by your message. Please do not spare in excruciating details. Thank you for your collaboration! (That sounded a bit too much like Robocop ^_^! ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do not spare in excruciating details. Thank you for your collaboration! (That sounded a bit too much like Robocop ^_^! ) Sure. When I first launched the game it went to a blank orange screen halfway through the introduction. I reset it and launched again. I got through the intro and then started playing. I tried navigating around with the keypad and when I got to button '3' instead of moving the character I got a garbled black screen. Resetting gave me the same screen and I had to turn it off and on again. I've been able to play successfully since; maybe it was just dust or some other cartridge connection issue. What are the key pad buttons supposed to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai_Magazine Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Nothing, actually, you can forget about the keypad and concentrate on the side buttons only. The game is designed to be "Standard Gamepad friendly" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai_Magazine Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Regarding the glitches you described, it indeed appears to be dirt, dust or rust between the LTO flash and the Intellivision cart slot. Please let me know if you experience anything weird again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I played this game all the way into dungeon level 3 and didn't experience any issues at all. The game is very fun and the animation and graphics are really excellent as well! For those that haven't seen it in action yet, the game plays about the same as the other homebrew release Maria only in Maria your action and those of the enemies are essentially 1 tile turn at a time whereas in the a Tale of Dragons and Swords, it is real time action. But the gameplay is similar. Go from room to room to defeat enemies where you level up automatically ever 100 xp you gain and find the keys needed in the dungeons to unlock the doors leading to the next dungeon levels. Unlike Maria, you do not have any inventory to control as you only move your character with the control disc and top fire buttons to attack with your sword. Keys are used automatically as you touch locked doors. In fact, I'm stuck on dungeon 3 as I've explored every room I could find including the ones you find through the hidden wall passage and still only managed to find 2 keys thus far. I'm missing the 3rd one for what I assume is the last door. After moving around for at least a full hour, I saved my game one last time and call it a day for the time being.

Kai_Magazine Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 There is probably another hidden wall passage. Look for inconsistencies in the wall shadows and slight texture changes in the walls. For those who haven't seen the gameplay video I released some months ago, here it is: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinjinhawke Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I'm currently saved on the 4th dungeon. I'm level 10. No bugs discovered. Had to force myself to stop playing. Great game. Just wish the vendor would stop hiding on me. Get very nervous when I have made a lot of progress since last save and he is hiding in some remote corner somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai_Magazine Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Where is a salesman when you need one? You always have the option to go to the previous dungeon and go to the merchant you know where to find. If you can't find a previously found merchant, making a map with a paper and a pen like when we were kids is great fun ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
