Reply to Elemental for 2014 in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Sounds exciting! I wonder how you intend to start the game off with an OP player and yet retain challenge. I would guess the use of power comes with some sort of tradeoff or escalation mechanic.

Reply to 5 Things I'm thankful for! in Everything Else Elemental Forums

Thank you Brad & Stardock, for providing us with useful utilities and fun games. Thank you for growing the company in a sustainable and independent fashion, so it doesn't crash and burn like so many others have, allowing you to evolve your products, tech, and expertise. And thank you for supporting and investing in the indie eco-system, and for sporting long-term thinking. I now want to stab myself for sounding so sycophantic, but you deserve it.

Reply to LH AI in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="29" id="3418069"] I'll write more on the particular challenges on LH AI but I will say that if people call the AI in 1.5 "broken" that I think it'll be time to throw in the towel on lh AI. I'll know then that some people have unrealistic expectations.[/quote] Please don't let the shrill wankers win. Having modded AI myself, I know how hard it can be to get it right, but I also know people greatly appreciate when it pulls

Reply to Iterating further on Elemental in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Call it Derek Paxton's Elemental : XYZ. It will distinguish it from the former failure, without discarding the brand entirely, and it has a nice "Sid Meier's AC" ring to it. And it's also basically true :) Not to mention using the FFH renown.

Reply to To Stardock: suggestions for acquiring gaming franchises in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Exactly. Unfortunately development has stopped due to a conflict between the publisher and developer, which is tragic because it was close to completion and looked to be an excellent game. As for legendary folk - huh? If you're referring to the founder badge, it's just because I've preordered GC3...

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes 1.3 changelog in LH Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="172" id="3386101"] I had to opt out of the betas and then opt in again for the latest 1.3 beta patch. It did not automatically update from the previous version of the 1.3 beta that I already had installed. Hopefully the new version was installed - I shall see shortly.[/quote] I tested it (rolled back to 1.2 and then re-opted to 1.3), and it seems not to be the case. (80 seaons in, and no AI pioneer even queued) &nb

Reply to Back from the Atari auction in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

SC was one of my first computer games, back in second grade. Although, honestly, I'm not a huge fan of melee (crap reaction speed here; mostly played the Mycon :P). I've played SC2 years later and really enjoyed its quirky aliens and humor.

[quote quoting="post"] o Now, in the case of Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, I play the game post-release so I can, in my spare time, update the AI (which is what I’m doing at 9pm on a Monday). [/quote] I hope you're not back into your old work habits?

[quote who="BoXXi" reply="10" id="3375674"] I'm not smart enough to comment on this topic, but I will say this: It's 2013, where's my freaking Hovercar????!!!!

Personally, I believe the biggest advances in the coming 15 years will be in biotech (stem cell technology and such).
