I bought one of those "learn vb5 in 21 days" books, and did every page/chapter one by one. Took me like a couple months. Like the first chapter would be on how to draw lines, so I followed the code in the book, then I experimented and would go "oh, what if I wanted to draw a box!"...

I use Visual Basic for all my games. VB6 for everything up to Issaman/Chicken Fighters 2005. These games are in VB.NET 2004 and all my games now will continue to be in .NET.

It should be built into the game under Editors. Find it on the Title screen. Then load up your game and change your dex.

Yea, there are some hours leveling up as well.

I'd say for DM1 its about 20 hours and DM2 its about 30 hours. This is if its your first time. Playing a second time might take half that. I can beat DM2 in about 15 hours or less. In terms of gameplay/features DM1 is about half as big as DM2. And again, DM1 and DM2 are a pair, play one then play th...

Well I dont really know what I will be doing so dont promise anybody anything. I prefer to do everything myself anyway since there are no deadlines and such. I'm just in limbo right now in terms of my games, I dont know what to make, and I dunno if I want to make anything anymore, its just gotten so...

Can you draw?

Because I need to work full time and have other things to deal with. Games are low on my list, and everytime I try to load up Chicken Fighters 2005 to work on it, I just close it because I dont feel like programming anymore. Its hard work, its borring sometimes, and I'd rather do something else righ...

It would be a VERY long time until I even start making another game. Right now I am finishing up Chicken Fighters 2005 and I am slacking due to lack of interest.

There are no registrations since its kinda pointless to. No need.

I was trying to make fun of those stupid Japanese shows, where they have intros that dont make any sense with crazy music and lots of flashing lights that make you get a headache.

Build 36: -Changed all sound code to use direct X, which should prevent some lag -Sky Chicken can now use Jump ability in battle-Dark Chicken can now use hide ability in battle -Started to work on skill code for battles -Added FBall skill attack in battle, animation is done as well as sound -Fixed s...

Yea, a lot of people have my game. Its illegal to host my game, the actual file, without my permission, but it got to the point where I just said screw it and now I dont care. People were selling it on CD's, and when I complained they did nothing and just ignored me. So what can you do.

I dont really know, I am trying to keep it simple. Its like River City Ransom. You will go to shops and buy food, which will level up your stats. Like a cup of coffee might up your power stat by 1 or something. Secret levels: Maybe? The powers you get are special moves. For example, there is a lady ...

Dont worry, I didnt take it seriously. Its Bob, hes an idiot, haha, I mean, his parents named him Bob, come on.

Man I'm not in the mood, nobody pays me so why should I get off my ass!

I'll make the IssaMan board sometime soon.

Emerald Storm II or III?

Maps for what? CF2K5 has a map editor built into it. All my other games have it too, anybody can edit the map. Some stuff are hard coded though.

I was thinking of making an MMORPG but they are VERY hard, especially with one person. Right now I doubt it will happen but its still on my ideas list. Who knows, maybe someday it will be a reality but programming games is hard now when you gotta work and do other stuff. Programming has went way dow...

Only he gets an account cuz hes Rob and he helps me a lot. And plus hes drawing some stuff. But no, dont ask me for any accounts, nobody needs them.

Dude, that kicks ass, gonna post it on the site soon.

I was able to reproduce the bug after trying and trying. Its pretty complicated but I will have a fix by today.

The game runs fine on fast machines like 2ghz and up. Other than that it will be VERY slow.

I just tried to reproduce that slaughterhouse bug, I cant figure it out. I didnt get any duplicate chickens. Maybe you are misunderstanding how it works? When you slaughter a chicken, the game will sort the chickens, to fill in any gaps. But I didnt see any missing ones. Can you give me some steps t...

I dunno, I have a lot going on in my life right now, CF is at the end of my list. Theres no real incentive for me to get it out you know.

The Robotic Chicken is a side quest that you can complete. As far as other secrets I will have a few, not sure what they will be though.

More on build 35: -Opponents now defend with an 8% chance -Select Area screen now works, you can travel between desert and crossroads right now -Added prozac graphic, items graphics now show in battle -Opponent now uses items -Underground tile wall is now NOT walkable -Shrunk the viewable map by 1x1...

I have no idea why this has happened. Are you sure you have done everything? Please email me the saved game so I can take a look at it. Go into C:\Program Files\Demon's Mantra\ and find the save file. If you are saving into file 1, the save file will be called save.sv0. Have you used the cheat codes...

Sorry for the misunderstanding, camping just means you can save and stuff. These are special spots in caves where you can save your game, I just use the term camping spots.

You can remove the game using the add/remove option from the control panel. Then find the game and uninstall. What steps have you done to uninstall? Can you explain in more detail? The game installs everything into C:\Program Files\ If you are using the installer version, you may run the installer a...

I know its really slow, there is no way to fix it. VB.Net is a totally different language from VB6, its not compiled. The code is ran as is using a virtual machine, which makes it much more flexible but a lot slower. You can see this when you load a screen, the pictures and text and stuff are kinda ...

Well I started the multiplayer code, its VERY difficult. The concept is simple but getting it to work looks hard. Need to create a couple threads for the connection, then write a ping function, etc. I am hoping to at least get the server/client connection code done by the next build, and have the ab...

More on build 34: -Fixed issue in Breeding and Buying chickens where ExperienceNext was equal to Experience -Fixed issue where buying a chicken added the wrong chicken to your inventory -Save files are now encrypted (meaning you will need to start a new game in this build, it wont load) -Added stats...

Yea, thats what I mean, having skills added to battle.

K, I will fix the breeding issue, I think I know what it is. I probably just did something like getNext(CHICKENRANK) when I should have put getNext(CHICKENRANK + 1). As far as the pots and stuff, yes, you should be able to find hidden treasures in objects. I dont know if I will have skills or not, m...

There is a multiplayer beta patch for Chicken Fighters 2000. It has a lot of bugs though, made in the days I knew nothing about networking code. All the source is available too if you want to modify it. The only problem with the code is concurrency issues and dropped connections, this is some advanc...

More on build 34: -You can now learn level 2 and level 3 skills when you level up, they are based on a percentage. For example, for each rank you are, you have a 5% chance of learning a level 2 skill, and 2% chance of learning a level 3 skill. The higher your level, the better chance you can learn a...

I worked on it today, heres what has been done for Build 34 so far: -Fixed a bug where it said your chicken gained a level when you cancel on the tournament screen -Arctic chicken can now use its special ability on the map and make snowmen on ice tiles! -Changed the code so now you can "talk&qu...

Go ahead and spill out all the suggestions and bugs you have. But remember its still in production. Give me all the bugs you can find, it will help me fix them faster instead of finding them myself. I will look at the bugs you have mentioned so far and fix those. Can you explain the breeding bug a l...

I actually played DM2 last week and beat it in about three days, its been about two years since I played. I loved playing my own game and actually forgetting all the puzzles and stuff. I'm going to go back and play DM1 a little later. Afterwards I thought about what my next RPG would be like and it ...

I think the locked building is a side quest for an item or something, I forget, I havent played that game for years.

To get to the ocean there is a cave in the desert. Its to the top right.

Well you can just use the save editor and cheat to up your strength, better than just quitting.

Simple Answer: The maximum level you can reach is 15. It just says 9999. Complicated Answer: The way I coded it was whenever the maximum exp is less than the current exp you gain a level. So I put code so that once you reach level 15, it always sets your maximum exp to 9999. That way you can never l...

There are hidden walls in the temple, the paths are not dead ends. Try walking through a wall.

Well the map editor was basically written for me to make my life easier drawing the map. I just threw it in for fun for people because its kinda cool to be able to edit the map, and why not? But dont expect a full map editor, that would be wasted time on a pretty useless "extra". But as yo...

You know what the wierdest thing of the story is? I made it up along the way! I was just programming and went "ok, lets have the story go here, then here". I mean I had small ideas of what I wanted but I made it up as I go. Somehow it all came together, phew! And no, you cant add enemies t...

I wish I could pop out games every week but they take forever to make. And I make them in my spare time and when I feel like it. Every now and then I get an email from somebody telling me how they love my games and it inspires me to work on it.

If he wont forge the sword its because you need to first buy the Dragon Blade from Rose. You need the second best weapon in the game BEFORE you get the best weapon in the game. Code logic is: If Quest(6) = 1 And Quest(7) = 9 And EQUIP(0) = 4 then Translation: If BladePart1 and BladePart2 and DragonB...

I just took a look at the code, the password is DM2002.
