A Little Help, She Pleads Here's the story. I am in dungeon 23, have a lot of goodies, strong hero named Rachel with a gazillion enchantments at Level 21. But I have been badly poisoned for what seems like forever. I seem to remember Madgarden hinting there was some way to deal with bad poison. Tried combos of potions and spells and sat on temples forever, but I remain sick, sick, sick. My goal in this game is to dig as deep as possible, see how long I can survive. So, is there a trick I don't know about and will someone tell me or give me an outrageous hint? Doffie Begging
Heh, I don't need any stinking Google to get your references. I have 40 years of pop culture garbage stuffed into my head. GET IT OUT, I CAN'T STAND IT!!! Seriously though, great posts, keep it up! I had some members of my forum that would write more elaborate, serious adventure tales about their spelunking in Rogue Touch. When I started learning how to program for the iPhone if someone told me that people would be writing the equivalent of "fan fiction" about my game I'd have laughed in their face. Now I've seen it for my RT and Fargoal, and who knows it may be happening elsewhere too My attempts to reach the sword have been slowed by other demands, but I'll be making a new legendary run soon
Yes, I think we rogue-likers must have the best fans... so intelligent and funny, heh. I actually legitimately finished the game on Legend about a week ago. Lots of good experience for fine-tuning the next update.
Poor poor rachel. Do you have any mystery potions? You could try them. They *may* help. Paul says they tend to give you positive outcomes if you're in a negative situation...not always though and its a gamble and could make it worse. If you have a bugtooth amulet, wear it. It won't take the poison out of your system but it will stop the damage until the poison passes through. Also, a temple blessing will cure you. So if you think you are anywhere near a blessing happening, try and get one.
Don't have a mystery potion or a bug tooth amulet. And I and my dragonscale shield were pretty recently blessed. I perhaps foolishly exchanged the dragonscale shield for a temple shield --- really can't figure out whether I'd be better off with a temple shield right this minute or not. The dragonscale shield never seems to wear down, it's amazing! So, I think when I resume this game later Rachel might try to climb up to a higher dungeon in hopes of buying time to recover from poison. I have so many good potions that it _seems_ this game should be my chance to really explore the deeper dungeons. That Rachel sure is a lucky warrior!
So, good people who follow this thread, I wanted let you all know that Madgarden officially is done with the day job as of last Friday. Please keep your fingers crossed for us if you would. It's a risky jump but no better time than now I suppose.
Hooray for the Madgardens! Very happy that you can now chase your dreams full-time. And I most sincerely wish you great success. I will be keeping all available body parts crossed for luck.
What is the appropriate amount of time to congratulate him before I start pestering him for the next update?
You can pester him now! But you might be stepping on Wombles toes a bit. Um I do know that he's been working all weekend on it, the audio/video issues and such. The next one is going to be h-u-g-e from what I gather, so I'd not expect it before summer/mid summer. We'll have to play it by ear since all this indy mode stuff is new to us and it will be interesting to see just how it all fits. The next thing to come is the iPad update though, I believe. I'm sure he'll be in here sometime to let you know how far off base I am.
Rocco, your will is my command. Show me the money! Mrs. Madgarden dearest has it pretty much right. Yes, the iPad version would have been submitted already if not for certain video/audio issues that we have been having. And yes, I have gone and quit my job since I have found another job in this industry. Fargoal itself isn't enough to let me quit the day job yet, but hopefully we'll get there eventually. I'm having fun, regardless.
Bah, a day job, pay your bills with Sword of Fargoal cash! No need to donate ALL of it to the temple, is there?
Wow, congrats on taking it full-time -- I truly hope things work out for you. It's risky, and I don't know that I'd have the stomach for it until I was quite comfortable. But hey, you've got the chops, you've grown a fan base, so I say get to work on making more things we need to give you money for.
Rachel is a True Hero Wow, what a fun game I've just finished. Was determined to go down to the 27th floor, exploring everything I could find, and I pretty much did that. Chickened out leaving a couple of floors partially unmapped, because I had a telepathy spell which told me that there were a gazillion centipedes in part of floors 26 and 27, but I covered almost all of those. Then, of course, I had to work my way back to the red room in Dungeon 20. Grabbed the sword from its guard and then had the damned thing stolen three different times on the way up. Was scared that I was using up all my moves chasing the thieves around thrice, but I guess I didn't. Rachel and I won. So now I've won as Paul the Legend and Rachel the Hero. So what should I name my next hero --- Jeff or Elias? Maybe even Doffie, who knows.
Start a game on Legend mode with 50% battery remaining and then get the sword out before your phone needs charging!
LOL, womble. I could easily get through 4 or 5 games on Legend with half the battery gone. Except for Legendary Paul, I am dead by dungeon 3. Then I say bring it on and start again, of course.
Thanks for the encouragement guys. Hopefully it works out, but if not, I have my eye on a nice cardboard box that should sleep all 7 of us. And, if strategically placed, I think I can get free wi-fi. Doffie, you rock. You've played and finished the game enough now, so I really need some feedback from experienced players like yourself on what needs to be improved etc. So fire away, hold nothing back! It's especially important at this stage since the big update will be underway shortly, and whatever you guys say will really help us hit the target.
Sir Ender's Legendary Log On this, the 6,546th day since Dan Quayle learned that he was not smarter than a 5th grader. Prologue Being an account of my journey to the depths of the most unforgiving dungeon known to man or beast, and being that this journal will likely be read only by myself when I need inspiration, allow me to introduce myself to myself. I am an adventurer, a philosopher, a passionate lover, a fearless fighter, and a highly skilled and very deadly salsa dancer. While others may choose to call me things unflattering to my character and which I would not deign to record for posterity within these pages, I am known by those worthy of my respect as Sir Ender. Yes, I know what that sounds like, and I will thank you very much to shut your howling cake hole. I am called such because regardless of who starts something, I end it. Never you mind what the others say. I learned of this dungeon through the agent of a raving lunatic who was badgering people on a street corner, screeching something about taxes or death panels or tea or some damn thing; I rarely pay attention to shuffling troglodytes anyway, but it was in the middle of his harangue that be blurted out something about a place only the bravest of the brave went to seek fortune, fame, and most likely death, and I was reasonably sure he wasn't talking about New York. So I asked him. He passed me a well-worn map and said in hushed, conspiratorial tones, "Your fly is open." Despite being a page out of the DSM-IV, the map looked legit, right down to the broken, wandering line leading to a large X and the warning, "Here there be dragons." Also, he was right about my fly. But dragons be damned. I will go to this dungeon! I will fight anything or anyone, and I will slay them with relish and mustard! I am Sir Ender, and I fear nothing! Entry I Holy crap. Entry II HOLY CRAP. Entry III OH, HOLY MOTHER OF CRAP. Entry IV Disregard. I thought I saw Shane MacGowan making out with Camilla Parker Bowles, but it was just a fat troll. Entry V Oh, sh
He thinks he's funny with the cardboard box talk. Me, not so much! Way to go Doffie on the last win! Sounds to me like the Minotaur is maybe a bit too easy, esp. on legend mode. What do you think?
