Here's a full video walkthrough I recorded of Fall of Verdite for those of you who are stuck (or too lazy to play). It shows off most of the game's content, as well as all item locations and secrets.

Haven't seen very many Sword of Moonlight videos on Youtube, so I went ahead and made a video to showcase some of the games available here, hopefully giving them some much needed exposure. The games played in this video are Diadem of Maunstraut, Dark Destiny, and my own game, Fall of Verdite (I still have yet to play Trismegistus ). I also do plan on making more Sword of Moonlight related videos (tutorials, playthroughs, ect.) in the future to hopefully get more people interested in the software.

Nah, Im not asking for money, hopefully something much simpler!

I have decided to change the host for all the big files to dropbox rather than loading the files directly on the backend of the site...there are several reasons:

1 - ipower (my domain service) frowns on big downloads, especially when folks decide to attach a botter to the link...so with dropbox, we get less site downtime so they dont have to shut me down and complain!

2 - dropbox downloads much more quickly than the domain servers, probably on the order of 50-100 times faster. ‎  Ipower's backend seems to disconnect alot and gives people bad files when finished downloading.

3 - dropbox is a super easy to use program for folks who want to just download it, it doesnt have a ton of ad popups to deceive you when you click a link and doesn't require any signup or payment to get good download rates. ‎  It is a must that whatever we choose, it stays free from viruses and such.

4 - heaven forbid ipower blows up and i lose everything on the backend of the site, its nice to have it backed up. ‎ 

5 - in special situations (such as hosting demos/updates of your games) forum members will be given access to folders for the official som dropbox so that they can manage their own files, updating their games and addons as they change and become available. ‎  THis is important, as games like Rathmor will likely undergo tons of demo patches and so on as its such a large game.

So to that end, I am converting my private account to the SOM's official account as I dont use it much anymore and rely on my server to store my files. ‎  I currently have unlocked around 5 gig of free space, its filling up quickly. ‎  Dropbox will give me an additional 500 meg for each person I refer who takes my invite email, signs up and downloads the service. ‎  Whether you keep it active or not is up to you, but I would appreciate if anyone is willing to accept the invite, pm me your email and I will sned the instructions, and thus increase the amount of free space we get from dropbox.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can contribute!

I didn't use SoM unfortunately... It won't run on my computer, since I'm using 64-bit windows 7...

I thought I might as well post a screenshot here, since I'd like to get some 'first impressions' although you can't really get much from a screenshot... Here... Some might notice the sky texture, from King's Field 2... It's temporary while I'm doing the programming.



A bit about the game; It's a 2D RPG/Platformer, with turn based combat, magic and all that good stuff... It has a free roam world, you can wonder around rather than do quests all the time... I scripted it all in Game Maker 8, using a few .DLLs like FMOD to enhance the sound capabilities...

I'm doing a graphics overhaul at the moment, to use less different styles, so it's all a little messy at the moment... I'm gonna use 3d-rendered graphics for most things though...

Funny story, this game was originally going to be my first SoM game... But because of the computer issues... yeah...

I've been trying to find 3d models for MQO quite a while.
I'm trying to find some models which can be used as refference for sprites made in tablet.

Some have awfull issues with keynote and others doesn't even move.

Any suggestions?

I searched on google, but the search engine doesn't give reliable results even with japanese keywords.

Hope everyone had a spoooky Haloween!! One thing I miss living in a remote area is the trick-or-treaters. But at least I got to disembowel a pumpkin.

This might be nothing, but I think I broke Dark Destiny.

I was exploring a mountainous area behind a secret door in the West Shore and came up to a lava-filled area just past it where I saw a pedestal for a water gem, but when I opened my inventory, the water gem that I had picked up earlier was gone. Now I can't get back down the mountain and I see no way to proceed forward. Any suggestions?

Anybody who is a gamer has a shelf of games somewhere in their house, so here's a place where you can show it off.

My own collection isn't very large, all I'll say is that I'm a big fan of From Software:

Apparently the old link was broken, so I uploaded the latest and greatest to dropbox:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2yu83d52bfmqcq...estiny.zip

you will also note that most of the other large file links on the main site will be going to dropbox now...apparently bot programs like to latch on to links and continuously download them, causing me grief from my domain host :)

Enjoy.
