Re: Realms of Quest V FAQ/hints/walkthrough?

Yes. The game is non-linear, so as your party grows stronger, the monsters that you fight will be more powerful. You start off fighting kobolds and skeletons and as you level up, dragons and immortal-types will be encountered.

Re: *SECOND PRINTING NOW AVAILABLE*: REALMS OF QUEST V (Digital version available July 1 2019)

Okay, so I have a dwarf fighter in my party. I bought him a broadsword at the market. The manual says fighters can use broadswords. However, the game does not allow me to equip this to him, even when I remove all his other weapons and armour to make room. There is no checkmark beside the broadsword...

Re: *ALL PHYSICAL COPIES ARE SOLD OUT*: REALMS OF QUEST V (Digital version is available)

Another quality of life feature I would like to see: When you View a character, have a special keystroke that pages through all the characters in the party one by one. This would save the hassle of View, choose, esc, View, choose, esc, View, choose, esc. Thank you for the idea--I was able to easily...

Re: Realms of Quest V FAQ/hints/walkthrough?

Is there a Realms of Quest V FAQ/hints/walkthrough somewhere? Google didn't turn up anything. I want to try and get my nickel's worth of fun out of it, but I'm kind of tired of booting it up and dying of poison in 12 moves :| Well it certainly it would help if you had the programmer’s notes to help...

Re: *ALL PHYSICAL COPIES ARE SOLD OUT*: REALMS OF QUEST V (Digital version is available)

So here is how the game looks like when you replace the runes with 2-letter abbreviation charactrers.

Personally, I prefer using the runes, but the game does allow you to configure it according to preference.

Re: *ALL PHYSICAL COPIES ARE SOLD OUT*: REALMS OF QUEST V (Digital version is available)

Using my own custom character editing tool (Magichar), I just designed the two-letter abbreviation characters that will replace the rune symbols (by way of configuration, as per the player's wishes) in the game.

It shouldn't take me too long to implement this into the game now.

Re: *ALL PHYSICAL COPIES ARE SOLD OUT*: REALMS OF QUEST V (Digital version is available)

Feature suggestion: I would like to have the option to replace the class/status icons with some "two letter abbreviation" icons. I never did get to grips with the standard icons, and I even had difficulty correlating the artistic versions of the icons in the manual with the on-screen vers...

Re: *ALL PHYSICAL COPIES ARE SOLD OUT*: REALMS OF QUEST V (Digital version is available)

I just learned that all physical copies of the game have been completely sold out on the Double Sided Games website. Thank you all for your support. But, I still continue to work on version 1.2 of the game. realms5.jpg realms6.jpg Some features that I've added recently: -Bug fixes -more changes and ...

While version 1.1 is out, I do continue to dabble and refine my work. I've revised and made additions to the Death sequence. These Deities will appear to you when you die: realms5.jpg The top 3 images represent THE CREATOR. The bottom 3 represent the NEW DIVINITIES, that of Courage, Knowledge and Un...

Hmm, not too happy about a second edition with more content. That kind of de-values the first edition. Hopefully every customer will at least get a digital download of the the second edition or maybe an option to "upgrade" the original box to the second edition for a small fee... I know t...

I clapped when I saw that thing I know! I think the video review will certainly help get the word out. This game is quite unique for the VIC-20. I addressed 8-Bit Guy's criticisms of the game with the following post I made in the comments section: A big thank you to the 8-bit Guy for reviewing my g...

Re: *SECOND PRINTING NOW AVAILABLE*: REALMS OF QUEST V (Digital version available July 1 2019)

Just experimenting :) . This is the kind of game deserving more than a casual play now and then, so I'll stick to it better in the next prolonged holidays (Christmas?). But I already surprised friends with its incredible level. They couldn't believe their eyes! As you probably already know, I creat...
