    Someone else mentioned making C'thulhu, I spent my first 90 minutes with the game making him and will see what I can do to get him uploaded for people to download. I'll also get a picture of him to share here.

    I love the character editor, and it was hard to actually play the game and not keep making stuff.

    EDIT: Here's the picture I took with my iPhone to text a buddy who didn't believe I could make Cthulhu:

    Submitted my review just now, should be up tomorrow.

    I'm curious what everyone thinks of the game, whether my criticisms of it being "too Zelda" are shared among you.

    Just let me know when you find the
    Demons Souls

    room. :)

    From Cave
    So awesome! And that person in town or the castle that says they have this demons game... wanna trade? Its too hard.

    I'm on the second dungeon, and while its certainly a Zelda clone, it does it well enough (and with enough humor) to look the other way.

    I'm hoping that BestBuy or Gamestop have this today since my GoGamer order apparently vanished into thin air. I'd order overnight from Gamestop if they didn't charge tax.

    Does anyone know how delayed the "Find in Store" stuff is on their websites? I hate trying to explain to some pleb on the phone what game I'm looking for.



    Also, I'm looking forward to making some old-school Dragon's Quest characters.

    I believe Best Buy and Gamestop upload their sales to their inventory servers on a nightly basis, so earlier in the day it should be fairly accurate. Although the websites don't know if a game is stolen, and also doesn't take into account employee's hiding copies they are going to buy for themselves.

    I finally found a copy of this [size=-2](yay)[/size], though I had to go to Gamestop to buy it because Best Buy hasn't even heard of the game, apparently [size=-2](boo)[/size]. But still, I'm really looking forward to putting some time into the character editor with this one.

    Anyone have any general tips for character creation? I'm sure I'll find a way to put hours into a character and have it turn into a mess because of a stupid mistake... Actually, the big thing I'm wondering about is how animation is handled. It looks like (from online images and such) you make five or six 'frame' models? Are player made heroes less animated than the default ones?

    Edit: Oh man, so many ideas and good references at this site, though I don't know if it will translate 1:1 into something workable for this game.

    You get 6 frames.

    Standing Still
    Walk 1
    Walk 2
    Attack (sword)
    Attack (magic/item)
    Jubilation (which is also the "falling" pose)

    Walking makes the character go through a simple cycle of "standing > walk 1 > standing > walk 2 > standing" repeated forever, so you can make seperate "left foot" and "right foot" frames if your character is asymmetrical. Also, the character wobbles slightly as it walks.

    Oh, and as of lunch today, only one walking penis. Countless idiots who don't know what "NO LICENSED CHARACTERS" means, though.

    Alright, this game is pretty great. I was about ready to give up on it after being murdered by the second boss about 45 times, but I finally beat him.
    seriously, a giant bee that spits fireballs and shoots more bees?! fffffff

    anyway, I decided to nix the Cthulhu idea for now because it was too hard. Instead, I made a sparkly unicorn named Unicron, and he rocks! I'd like to upload him but I don't have a usb flash drive at the moment.


    I can assure you he is quite sparkly though. Don't you worry about that.

    I just got the AMAZING PRIZE for finishing the block circuit in under 20 seconds.
    It's a small block.

    You will learn to hate that fence in that circuit. So many times I turned and hit it, whereas if it wasn't there I'd have been fine.

    Oh I figured they'd do something, but I was hoping for more of a reward I could take a snapshot of and hang on my wall with pride. Instead I have no way of actually showing off my elite dashing skills, as you can't take a picture of your times or anything.

    There is the Monaco circuit or something in the town south of the castle. However as of the first dungeon complete it isn't open yet. I imagine it will be filled with incredible pain just like the Block circuit.

    I love/hate the dash circuits. Man did I spend forever trying to clear the first one in under 20 seconds. How are you guys pulling this off? D-pad or joystick? Do you ever stop on purpose, or just plough through as fast as you can?

    Okay, yeah... to get the best prizes from that circuit, you HAVE to get under 20 seconds on the first one.

    Got my copy today. Fully intended to make something with the creator, but then I froze and just went with Raido. Maybe I will give it a good try, but I am just awful at creation stuff, mostly because I just freeze up and don't know what to make.

    Beat the first dungeon and just spent the rest of my time running around and killing stuff. (I'm not lost, honest! Really...)

    Also, I managed a 23.6 on the first dash circuit and then gave up. Gonna give it another go later though.

    Did you ever actually clear it in under 20? Because if not let me just say that you do not have to do it perfectly. You can make two screw ups, but they have to be after a certain point. I also used the d-pad.

    Here's how the first circuit works. First off, you need to get the timing right to start dashing right when it makes the "Go" beep. You need this, you don't want to finish and be .1 off. Second, you need to go from the start all the way around and back up to at least the north side of the fence in one go. You cannot screw that up, you probably won't make it if you do unless you somehow run the course perfectly afterward. See, once you dash for too long you go super fast. Navigating around the trees is just too difficult at that speed. But it takes around a full lap for that to kick in, and the bottom and right side are straight lines. Those are okay at that speed. Try to get as far as you can at that speed, but at least get to the north side of the fence. Then you have to do it again. You get one more screw up, and I say try to do it the same way. Get as far as you can, and at least back to the north side. After this you have to finish and not hit anything. Those are the only two screw-ups you get. If you hit anything else restart. I finished with a time of 19.48 messing up twice at the north side. I had nothing to spare basically.

    Here's my biggest tip though. Don't overestimate the south side of the course. It's a lot closer to you than it appears to be, and going fast you'll probably run into it a lot. Try to turn early for it. It's the only part of the map you can't see completely.

    Is there any way to adjust the screen size? The bottom two corners of the map peek slightly off the edge of my TV.

    Also, I just realized, after looking back at the first temple...
    Sage Indy was trapped by a giant snake. Why'd it have to be snakes?

    There's an option to turn loading screens back on after you do the install, if you want to collect them all. I noticed it after going through a few screens and noticing I wasn't getting those things, then turned them on.

    It feels so backwards.
