Temple of the Abyssal Winds v4.7 is available for Windows. This is a minor release and there is no reason to upgrade if you already have a working version. Users who had trouble on older versions of Windows might have better luck with this version. There is no corresponding iOS release (nothing cha…
I've been led down a rathole the past couple of weeks. First, I updated to Visual Studio 2015 (from VS2012), for reasons that I now don't remember at all. So, after I recompiled TotAW I decided I'd better check that it worked again. No problem.
But, then I decided I would check if things worked OK …
Temple of the Abyssal Winds version 4.5 is now available!

I've been mucking around with Temple of the Abyssal Winds lately, fixing minor issues and such. While doing this, I found a cool bug worthy of sharing.
The bug is, cast an attribute buffing spell on the main character, say "Strength". This should work if you drink a potion of Strength as well, tho…
So, after several years of coding and content creation, Temple of the Abyssal Winds is "done". Get it here: http://prankster.com/totaw!
So, now what do I do with myself? It's a bit of a weight off my shoulders to know that I accomplished what I wanted to, and I could just let it be done right now…
A collection of the news links on TotAW, mostly for my benefit:
Temple of the Abyssal Winds is now complete, with all 6 chapters available for Windows and iPad! The release of Chapter 5: The Caverns of the Four Winds, and Chapter 6: The Chamber of the Four Winds, brings to a conclusion the full adventure.

GameDev images are broken, and it's not clear if anyone cares. So, I'm suspending this blog for now... you'd have a hard time noticing anyways. For Merry Prankster Games news, look to:

Man, I suck at this blogging thing.
Status update: Chapter 5 is looking pretty good, and I'm getting through the content creation for Chapter 6. I may just wait to release Chapter 5 along with Chapter 6 because, well, I'm lazy, I guess.
Now, something about TotAW development. So, I'm working on Cha…
News: Chapter 5 is code complete and ready for testing. Based on past performance, probably about a month before it comes out.
Here's a picture of the second map from Chapter 5:
Sorry about the lack of posting... vacation ate up some time, and I guess I just didn't feel like posting. But, never fear, I've been busy squirreling away on TotAW.
Chapter 5 needs just a couple more days for the content to be finished. One more map to draw, and some actor-to-actor chatter to writ…

Once that goes through, I will release v3.0, along with Chapter 4, for iOS and Windows. I think it just took a couple of days last time; it seems like they might do re-reviews faster than a first tim…
Here's chapter 5:

And gives it positive thoughts. Though they seem to do that about most (all?) RPGs, I'll take it!

Finished up my personal playtest through chapter 4. Fixed up a few little things, but it looks pretty good. I've still got some more testers going through, and some artwork stuff to deal with, but it looks close.
Now, let me tell you, by the time you get this far in the game, you should be a pretty …

Ready to release 2.1 of TotAW, just waiting on iOS app store review. The main update in 2.1 is support for chapter 3 (and 4!) along with some bugfixes etc. As soon as it gets through review, I'll release this version, and chapter 3, for Windows and iPad.

One thing has come out of playtesting Temple of the Abyssal Winds (http://prankster.com/totaw). Especially in the higher chapters, some players find the game very difficult. However, I don't want to just make the game easier, as the difficulty is pretty appropriate for the core audience of the game…

Some of my most valuable playtesters are my kids, because I can watch them play, and see things that they do that they might not report if I wasn't sitting there. I was watching my daughter (age 11) play today, and she is _terrible_!
I mean, she isn't actually terrible. She can move around, and atta…
