Very nice work! We all look forward to your finished project. Happy New Year to you as well!

[108 Stars]

Damn, this looks good...

[SwedenLynxer]

New screen shots look superb!

From the new title screen I now see the "load" option so I gather you plan to put it on a cart with a eeprom for saving?

Also, you plan to do all element of this amazing game by yourself, such as sound and music?

[108 Stars]

He does! The moment I saw this thread I asked him if I may help him, but he´s actually determined to do it as a true one-man-project!

[PAC MAN FEVER]

that is very cool it makes me want to buy lynx just for that cart.

[Ninjabba]

The sounds & music are something I still need to dive into, but all the graphics and coding so far are done by me. There will be an eeprom saving option in the final product for sure!

I´d prefer a 50 digit password!

[DarkLord]

Totally impressive looking - put me down for one!

Hi, please put me on the buyer list, this game looks amazing, congratulation, you have done a really good job. In my free time I will learn about programming, in the future maybe I will try to write a game as well for the Lynx.

Noted down: a special edition with a 50 digit password, including indistinguishable 0s and Os, l and 1, etc. just for you

I'm not making a buyers list at this time (its way too early), but I'm pretty sure there will be enough copies once the project is finished.

[Havok69]

Very cool - I love this genre, and it's something that is sorely lacking on the Lynx.

One thing, and I know I'm going to get flamed on this one; it looks too Nintendoish...

Granted, that won't stop me from most likely picking up a copy, money permitting!

[4Ks]

Oooh, I may not be able to resist this if it actually gets released. Having Pier Solar practically begging to be bought is bad enough, but now this...

Hi Walter, thanks for asking. There's work done on a daily base, but its been slowed down a bit because of my graduation plans this year. I'll try and give a small graphical update some time soon!

[Ninjabba]

Finally got some time to do that update. I've renewed the images on the first page. The update shows an image of an indoor shop, some battle with a standard attack and magic, and overlapping tile sprites in the village. Hope you people like it

Now for a status update; I'm currently facing a gigantic load of work as I'm currently employed for a part-time job (luckily I can combine my part-time job with a bit of sprite creation), also doing an internship at a company as a smartphone programmer, and on top of that, I should be graduating on the 1st of July (horror!!!). And most important, have a good time with my girl

As you can imagine, I should put some things a bit of a rest, and I have to minimize working on this project until after my graduation. This should mean, however, that I have a lot more time again during the summer and afterwards.

[Atari_afternoon]

All the very best for all your projects, Ninjabba

[gambler172]

Hi Ninjabba
Great news,cannot wait to see a first bin to check it out on real hardware......
greetings walter

[TrekMD]

Thanks for the update and best of luck! Looks like you have your hands quite full!

[swlovinist]

The work on this project looks amazing. If this ever gets put on a cart and sold, sign me up!

[zoltan]

It's going to be one of the best links games that's for sure. Keep up the good work Ninjabba.

[nonner242]

This looks Amazing!

Great work!

[Tempest2k]

It looks great Ninjabba.
If you ever release the Game sign me in for a Copy

[Ninjabba]

Believe it or not, but the project is still in progress. Finally delivered my thesis today

[Tempest2k]

i thought you finished the game and want to sell it

Good to hear!
I´m afraid that with the cancellation of the few RPGs that were in development for the Lynx in its heyday, and "Distant Lands" being in development hell for a decade now I can not let you abandon this project.

I must say though, when I saw this thread had new posts that you would start selling the final game now. To go head-on with Skyrim, as I expect Dragon Saga, Dragon´s Aga or Dragon Sage or whatever it will be named to make Skyrim look like a short, ugly demo written in BASIC by comparison.

By the way, are you late or something? I understood you would graduate July 1st, but you delivered your thesis now? Or is this something else? Just saying, if your time plan did not work out you will have to dump your girl to make up for it. We can´t have your personal life get into the way of our long-awaited JRPG.
