I was feeling sorry for myself today because the temperatures here in California dropped to an inhumanly cold 29 degrees and I had to go around wrapping the water pipes so they wouldn't crack in the freeze. But I was put in my place when someone from Nevada told me it often gets 10 below zero there.
Just wondering what everyone else's Christmas Eve low temperatures are? :)

My obsession with changing every texture in the game has taken a long time just to complete my first map.

Here are some main ideas my game will bring to the table and I'm hoping Holy Diver (Dio fan, right?) and the rest of the experts will help me bring these ideas to life:

Exploration - I think every king's field fan will take thier favorite aspect about the game and expand it. I noticed that Hgouls' "Diadem of Maunstraut" was very combat focused and intense and I think it's a great game that reflects the maker's intent on making that the goal of the game ("Trismisgestus" was also a deliberate style). The intention of my game is to focus on environment and sense of adventure by diminishing the usual amount of monsters to a powerful few. Using equal amounts of puzzles and monsters achieving a slower amount of action but making up for it in awe of the environment.

Contrast - You start off in a town that is brimming with life and NPCs. No monsters and beautiful architecture and people to talk to. This is your home and will enhance NPC interaction and safeness as much as possible. As soon as the hero leaves his town, the qualities of loneliness, desolation and hopelessness will be the only companion. Environments unspoiled by his own race and some ruins of unknown ancients as he seeks for rare herbal ingredients to save the dwindling kingdom(see story). The farther you go out venturing from home, the more you see the security disapear as you trudge through the unknown in solitude. ‎  ‎ 

Story - In the ultimate role reversal, you will be playing the Lord of a Village. Your home is a castle and you have your own townspeople to look after. Instead of being a pauper with nothing to lose, you stand to lose everything as a deadly disease begins to ravish your country. As fortune has it, You are the Lord of the farthest town on the outskirts of the kingdom. The King (very ill himself) has sent a message to your town charging you with the task of finding a cure for this grave ailment. Struck by a sense of duty, you leave your commander in charge to protect the town, vow to enter into the mountain regions and find a hermit who is studying medicine there. The Fate of the kingdom rests in your ability to work with the hermit to find a cure and rid the kingdom's pestilence before it reaches your own town destroying everything you have.

more info as game is updated... should have a small demo out soon (the town only) as the kinks get worked out.

Finished moving HolyDivers stuff off to his own server and reverted his custom theme back to the default. ‎  I will see what I can do to spruce it up a bit and get the graphics back up...but for now, everything should be functional I hope.

let me know if you run into issues.

I got a new HP mini (small screen). Everything works great on it except for when i go to edit my game and it won't let me see the bottom because the window is too big. I have it set to highest res. (1020x600) and tried to make the windows small but i still can't see in map mode. It cuts off at "piece setup". any advice?

Dark Destiny V1 is available for download here:

Enjoy and merry christmas all!

Now that I am done with my game I am going to try to fix up the custom parts that I and several other folks have made so that they can be downloaded in packs. ‎  Specifically the ones that need the most work are the map parts.

Unfortunately...the map part project will really only help new users as I will have to renumber the part files to condense the sets to better fill the limit of 1024 pieces. ‎  Sorry for everyone who already started their games etc...

If you have custom stuff to submit please send it now.

Joe, I got your custom stuff and will incorporate that.

Does anyone know if there is a place to FIND the gold key in King's Field II(JP)/King's Field I(US)?

To my knowledge, the only place to get it is to buy it from Mark Wozz.... ‎  close to Leon's shop on the south shore type thing deal stuff.

Just ran into this game today at gamestop...seems it came out recently, saw the cover pics and style and bought it.

So far the game is pretty fun, very challenging and reminiscent of a From Software game style.

Its 29.99 new for the nintendo DS (Im amazed its a DS game) and the pro ratings arent favorable but the player reviews have been nothing but 9s and 10s.

I really think anyone with a DS might want to give this a shot.

A few beta testers will be getting theirs in the mail this week.

I will let them have a few days to test it out then I will fix whatever bugs are found and officially put the game up for download.

The newest member has a very interesting name. ‎ 

Interesting because it has a rather obscene word within it.

Mick?
