Yep, it required exactly 604KB of free conventional memory, heh... that's why most people couldn't run it, as, afaik, it's pretty much impossible to free that much in win95/98 (I was coding on a dos machine back then)...
Oh, and the third demo was never released... I don't think there was a _ton_ of differences, just some nicer overworld tiles, and I think we fixed some of the memory requirements, heh. Heck, I don't even have a copy of the third demo.

Well, semi portable if you're programming for a windows environment. If I were programming an RPG now (which i'm thinking of trying actually) i'd go for openGL in C++. That way you can port to linux and mac easier. That said though, you're covering most bases with a windows release, and even a good portion of linux users will dual boot to one version of windows or another.
I'm looking forward to playing the new DP. Oh, and DD how about giving us some more info on the new game you're planning to release? Like a basic story maybe, or some sprite pictures for the casually-interested.

I might... I dunno. I may not even 'release' it... just send it out to dev studios and such, looking for a bit.
...but, think of the 'go anywhere, do anything' style of Grand Theft Auto, but in a top-down RPG style... and of course, with RPG-like battles.
EDIT: and set in 16th century england. :)

I didn't mean portable in the sense of OS portability (although it's quite portable in that sense too, not 100% but the changes from OS to OS will be minimal), what I meant is that the game engine itself is portable across different game designs...I can use the same engine for many games without modification. That's been my goal to pull off for years. :)

Thanks, DarkDread. I'm using GSLib to remake my first game, and it works great. I find the lack of palette functions depressing, but I guess you can't have your squirrel and shoot it, too...

What kind of palette functions are you looking for?

The palette functions I want, I found. I needed to fade to and from black, and load palettes. GSlib doesn't have those, but I could write those functions in Qb.
Thanks anyway, though.

You could always use the palette routines in DashX...they're written in QB, so it's not like you'd have to mess with another obj file. :D

Well, actually, I did get what I needed, but thanks anyway. I use In The Nocturne... for a model on which I build my game. I don't steal any of the artwork or anything, but I think that's the best Console Style ever.
By the way, DD, would you be interested in seeing Dies Irae Remake once it's completed?
