It works on version 2.0 on the mac - I don't know anything else. Also, it's only Exile II - nothing else.

(Note: This only occurs on Mac, not windows)

Has anyone noticed that in Exile II, you can cast Scry Monster on a monster, and then hit the arrow keys, you can actually change the monster type? For example, in combat, I can cast Scry Monster on a hydra, hit the arrow keys, and then change it into a goblin or official and easily defeat it.

Anyone else noticed this?

A few nights ago, I dreamed that Harry Potter book 7 was released and I was reading it. Of course, I didn't make it to the end of the book before I woke up, and I'm sure the events in the dream book aren't really going to happen in book 7.

Kinda weird, but it shows that I really am looking forward to the last book in the series. :P

Well, it's not like I thought rationally in games when I was eleven. Now, ethics in games don't matter to me. But really, Ben will have to speak for his brother, not me.

Maybe he thinks killing monsters are okay because they're evil, but the townspeople are innocent. Well, at least that's how I thought of it back when I was eleven.

I didn't steal things because of ethics for a while when I first played the Exile games. I eventually realized this really was just a game. However, I found that most stuff that you can get away with stealing is generally garbage - almost everything in BoE is, and most items in E3 are, in my opinion. Haven't really seen most of E2's treasures.

Sure, you can make some money, but I find stealing low-value items a waste of time - I find it easier to kill some monsters, and pick their treasure up.

EDIT: Also, does something actually happen in E3 if everyone has pants and shirts. If so, I missed it.

I get presents on Easter, but not nearly as many as...say, birthdays or Christmas. This year I only got one. Not that I wanted anything else, though. There's plenty of chocolate ;) Unfortunately, I have work to do this Easter. :(

And Happy Easter to everyone! (At least everyone who celebrates it, that is...)

Unfortunately, I have to vote number four. It's really what we're celebrating that counts...

Well, now that it's publically available, I also want it noted that the chat contains a few spoilers for my new scenario, The Final Spire. Most of the stuff there has ben cut/changed, but there are still a few.

By google searching my name, I found a chat, and I posted a link to it. It's on Tyranicus' chat site, and it's called "Ash is Banned.", but he has no link to it. I'm wondering if he has more chats that aren't linked to on his site.

However, there's lots of flaming towards Jeff's games, and I want it cleared that posting to a place with Jeff-flaming on Spiderweb isn't grounds for banning before linking there.

I was in this chat myself, but I left before the big Jeff-bashing part. Tyranicus, if you have any other unlinked chats, let me know.

Maybe I should have been a little more detailed and thorough in the choices. Oh well.

That being said, I'll go with the middle. For the reasons everyone else stated.

I was wondering something. This goes to all scenario designers, esp. senior designers.

When you design a scenario, what do you find to be the hardest part of making it? I have six choices, with an explanation of why they all could be.

The choices are...

Planning it out - possibly because you have to start forming ideas from your own head, which can be hard.

Starting it - because you know you have a long road, anything could go wrong, and you're kind of setting it up.

Middle - because it's easy to run into designer's block, and you have to do the most work.

Finishing it - easy to get excited and forget about it.

Alpha testing - because it generally comes out very buggy, and you have to fix lots of bugs, and you can't play the scenario smoothly - it's almost like playing through a scenario released without bugs fixed.

Beta testing - you have to accept loads of criticism with little or no things said in the scenario's favor, along with more stuff to fix.

I'm only doing this to get a general idea on what most people find hard. You also may have a different reason than what's listed above.
