I gave up on the word jumble pretty quick. Too tough for me without a more specific hint. :P
I need more vowels.

Currently stuck on 1, 3, 10 & 11.
#204
1 is frustrating me because I know it sound like something but can't quite mentally place it.
#205
10/14 now.  I just knew #13 was what I thought it was, just had to confirm it!
#206
I have about 9/14 for definite. Others may require further investigation as I still can't figure out the secret phrase from them.
#207
Volume 2 will be hopefully this year. Q3-4 most likely.
#208
Yesh, there's one in the list that I know I played recently, I know what type of game it is but there's some mental blockage stopping me remembering it. Probably just old age.

You'd think so. What's annoying is the ones that you just know really well but can't quite put a name to them.
#210
Considering I spend a lot of time recording off PC Engine soundtracks, I'm finding this surprisingly difficult.
#211
Yep, I want the kind of feel to it that it's like forum posts - more personal than just reviews or articles.
#213
I'm starting to play around with ideas for the layout of the book. I'm thinking of arranging it sort of like instant messages or forum posts to keep it informal.

Hmm, you have a point.

I'll try to remember to add it when I dig out the link.

Not a game.


Quote from: NecroPhile on 01/22/2016, 01:50 PMWhat about Rover's bomberman games?
Not an original game.

WARNING!

Orders for the first book will cease at the end of January. The FINAL batch will be sent out (hopefully) mid-February.

If you're too late, you're too late. Non-payment in time will count as a missed order.
#222
Saber Rider is priority #1 as soon as we get more information to be able to make a start. Until then, our next major project is Grelox (after Inferno is done).
#223
Rather than derail the thread, I've posted the answer in the Apothecary thread: https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=16344.90
#224
As people have been asking, here's the final update on Apothecary, or more of a history of the progress:

First it was at Aetherbyte, until we decided that it was a big project and would just be too long before we started and finished it given all the other stuff we had planned.

So we decided to can it on the PCE, as PCE development is tortuous. Arkhan was thinking about using Unity for some PC projects so we decided to take the main elements from Apothecary and make it in retro style on PC under the name Grelox, with more features (the PCE version was designed to strip the gameplay down to the very basics to make it quicker to develop).

Part way through intial Grelox planning, Orion came along and said 'I can do Apothecary.' So I had several builds from him, general movement and mapping was done-ish, and he started on enemy movement and collisions and the object screen. At that point he seemed to have misunderstood the concept of the how the puzzles were going to work in the game and felt that he might have problems with it. I'm always open to stripping things down just to get it done, but after a few emails and a couple of months I was getting to response from him any more.

So Arkhan steps back in and we plan to start it up again at Aetherbyte. By now, I've done a lot more mapping and art on Apoothecary, but I also have a bunch of planning done for Grelox which is a very similar game (only better). Again the thought of the complexity of developing it on PCE arose and the nagging feeling that the design for Grelox was better anyway...well instead of spending years on two games almost the same (one being a worse/simpler version) I decided to just combine all the maps into Grelox and make the better of the two games.

Grelox was going to originally have a larger screen area, but I've spent so long on all the mapping that I'm not going to throw that all away. The art itself will be converted into the NES style palette along with new stuff so it won't all go to waste. So Apothecary had basically been merged with Grelox and we should be able to get a result perhaps years sooner than we would if we continued developing it on PCE. Besides, we also have Saber Rider to be getting on with soon.

So there you have it.

I knew I should have grabbed that URL as well ;)

Oh, you may want to remove Apothecary from that homebrew list because it's super dead now.
#226
Prepping for book 2 has begun (making a big list of JP Hus and working out what to include).

Maybe because I used a work email that is a government email it went to his junk mail?
Have you pad a payment request yet? Please check your PayPal and PM me here with details if you haven't.


Quote from: munchiaz on 12/06/2015, 02:41 AMwhats the average turn around time to receive it? I paid on November 12th. I'm not in a rush, just wanna make sure it didn't get lost in the mail
You'll get an email when it's posted. All but the very newest orders should be posted out this week. It's been a bit later than hoped because I fractures a bone in my foot and have been unable to get out.
#237
I'm hoping to get 90% of existing orders in the post this week. Look out for emails!

If I can get most content by the end of 2016 that would be great. That's not a reason to wait that long though ;)

Quote from: NecroPhile on 11/25/2015, 03:12 PMI snagged a certain book for myself for x-mas, and I'm dumb enough that I'll probably forget and it'll be a surprise when it comes in the mail.
I like it when that happens. Especially something I preordered 6 months ago.
#243
Quote from: CGQuarterly on 11/24/2015, 04:07 PMSo does she pay you for the book?  What happens when you open it?  Do you pretend that it's a surprise?

I'm not criticizing, I'm just trying to understand how this works.
I buy stuff for myself and save it for Christmas. I guess that's sort of similar so I can understand it.

Quote from: Groover on 11/23/2015, 09:47 PMThese videos are nice. Interesting choices so far. How are you playing these and capturing the video? Emulator or real hardware. If real hardware whats the setup?
Emulator. If I had real hardware they wouldn't be genuine first time plays.

Quote from: guest on 11/08/2015, 02:14 PMMan this looks awesome! Do you still sell that other book that had either Ys or Star Parodier on the cover? I remember you retired the Star Parodier cover, can't remember if you still make those
Nope, those are no longer available. But in consolation, here's the soundtrack to Legend of Valkyrie:
