![]() As one has fun, what needs to happen becomes known. Plenty of people, myself included, would enjoy your take on things now that you have released and can bask in the glow of it all being done.įor me, the best is just kind of open world and discovery. Have you done a postmortem type write up or talk yet? Having a rich storyline which intertwined with combat was a high priority for me. I've spent easily thousands of hours playing Apple II RPGs, and thinking about storylines I'd like to create, so the content for Nox Archaist just flowed out! I think you will be pleased with the depth. I do know what you mean about the hours spend on games like these. I do have a GS so it can all happen again one day when that project runs to completion. Thanks again for this nice labor of love. I can park this on my laptop and chip away at it in modern life. Man, many of us used to spend hours on these kinds of games! From what I can tell the depth is there. I am definitely going to show this off a time or two. That always has tripped me up and I never seem to get past it.īut, there was no way I was going to have my first experience be on anything but original hardware. Frankly, it brings a more favorable arrow key arrangement to the experience. Will need to continue on emulation at times though. Totally! Had a nice, long play last night. I am thrilled to hear you are enjoying the game! Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out and share your impressions! If you like ULTIMA style games, this one is new, plays well, looks like it has depth and plenty of hours of entertainment in it. Just to be clear though: A lot of work went into this game, and it's performance on a stock Apple 8 bit computer shows off that work well. After the introductory portion, which is very well done and helpful, I chose to play it at the GS like 2.5Mhz. The game is a gem at the stock 8 bit 1Mhz. It is my first time playing one of these with something other than floppy disks. I am running the hard disk image on a CFFA 3000 card. That all got put to good use, from what I have seen so far. I have always loved these kinds of games and the Apple has just enough color to make them shine! One can do anything in 6 colors and a dither. I had a good time exploring the little town and building my party, whomping on the baddies, poking around. There was real love put into this game and it shows! Had a couple of hours to play, so I went for speed.

For players who want to dive into the new content, the expansion includes two pregenerated parties of levels 4 and 5. Parties below level 4 may find the adventure too challenging, while those significantly above level 5 may be overpowered. For players who want to focus more on puzzles and have less challenging combat, a level 5 party would be better.
