I thought the crossbow would work the same way as the bow and arrow, as you mentioned, but never once did I ever ‘shoot first’ like you do with the bow. Instead in the fights I got into, it seems the crossbow (which is marked as an off-hand weapon?) just adds to your crit cahnce/damage, so when I got the main gauche, which adds to your attack…[Read more]

Played some STWALT today as I was hunting for game sprites and as always it’s still very fun. Playing has me thinking that I kind of wish characters might start with ‘class’ specific items like one might in LW as starting out empty handed feels… not smart? Anyway, I digress. This is the hall of losers and I have two more to add to the ranks (of…[Read more]

The sequel to my warrior/kingmaker run from yesterday and I finally did it!!! Again the king had a son… but how many mind flayers has he slain? 😎 I may be clumsy, losing my weapon twice, and I’m forever scarred from a zombie bite. But with Gygax’s blessing, I have a feeling this cursed realm might do well under me someday…

I did encounter a…[Read more]

Thanks!

In the King Maker Quest the event “the king has a son” should not happen or it should be that it says “he has a daughter” instead cause urb fixed that later on.
hmm I see. Is this the Kong version or some other?
Interesting. It’s the download version off arise’s download heaven Google Drive. 3.6 I think it says? What’s the latest version…[Read more]

Haven’t played in a while. Had a pretty wild warrior/kingmaker run — JUST 1 XP SHORT! Damned xp draining enemies, even if I was playing a bit safe admittedly.
Plus the king did end up getting two sons during the run so it was all for naught XD

Hi Lance and others, the new game looks cool.

My question is, are suggestions from the past being incorporated into the new game?

The graphics are cute, they make the game LOOK new. But will the game play feel new and improved as well?

The great thing about Recon was you could have a bond with your squad. It sucked when you lost somebody. I…[Read more]

And in my opinion, old character models in Recon looked better, similar like in MnB2

how about idea, that the map is super big, but missions are relatively near. The idea would be that, you can do your missions near LZ, but if you want more rare and cool stuff to find or something else, you have to go more deeper to “behind enemy lines”. This idea would satisfye people who like short missions and people who like longer and more…[Read more]

Boy does the new UI look smoother! The controls of the rangers are also much simpler.

I must say, i’m gonna miss a bit the “ragged” MnB style that the old sprites had.
They made the whole scenario look more crude and brutal.
I don’t know if i’m saying something crazy or if someone understands.

Also, i really appreciate the radio chatter. Just…[Read more]

The following is a post by Arise carrying the latest news from Recon LUA development – enjoy!

Howdy folks, here is some Recon LUA (working title) recent developing reports from our testing crew.

What Have Been Done:

#Mechanics

*Add basic LOS
*Basic skill roll
*Basic combat
*Save file system for future…[Read more]

Grill…a raw egg?
I’ll have to try that someday.
Here I’m about to have an exam. Math is hard, but I’ll manage.

I must say, the UI changes look pretty good. I look forward to seeing how you can command the rangers to use items and deploy mines and such.

That part really takes away a lot of time in the current recon.

The immersivity has just gone up 100%. And even before it was the best part of the game.

Keep Cracking on!
