BIG FRIGGIN' RED LETTERS ON THE OP.
Now that is badass.

Found the story hilarious so far, hope Hobotropolis won't dissapoint.

[Confederacy]

That reminds me, I still need to beat Big Trouble in Little China, Maine. Looks like I'm going to have to spend all day today to beat it.

[rpgmakerweb]

Nice work! Haven't had this much fun playing an RPG in quite some time (ever).
Looking forward to Hobotropolis!!!

I hope so too... and I don't think it will, since it's the best part of the game so far.

@ Confederacy: You have less than a week... get on it!

Haven't posted here in a while; good to know I can visit my favorite race, the hobos, soon.

Knowing how much better you've gotten since the beginning of the game's development; I'm looking forward to dusting off the old save from the second expansion lol

[Drunken Paladin]

Here's a link to a rad dude with a voice like an angel doing live-streams (and subsequent recordings) of Tales of the Drunken Paladin.

The first video can be found HERE. He's not live right now, but you can watch the entire game up to the start of BTiLC,M, and it's 100% voice-acted. I couldn't imagine a professional doing any better. He knows these voices better than I do...

We'll also be doing a live Q+A session once Hobotropolis launches, so keep your eyeballs open for news on that to come.

Also, his name is Hootey. Remember that shit.

Edit: The videos were replaced on that site, but I suspect that they will resurface.

Is there any way to remove and reassign stat points? This game looks good, but not being able to redistribute AP is a major problem for me.

[Drunken Paladin]

There is no way as of yet to redistribute the stats.

I can only recommend keeping extra saves if you are fickle.

And in other news...

HOBOTROPOLIS: TOMORROW AT 12PM (EST)

I played through without assigning any stat points, so I doubt it to be a problem.


On another note, I never thought I would have to camp out at a library to wait for a game, my home connection died and it is the nearest wireless available.

[Drunken Paladin]

Sorry for the delay, folks. I pulled an all-nighter trying to cram in some last-minute things, and ended up doing more damage than good. It's uploading now, though!

Update: Hobotropolis is live! Here's a temporary link: www.drunkenpaladin.com/Hobotropolis.zip
And here's where you should be watching for the most up-to-date patching information: http://drunkenpaladin.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=631

I'll be doing live-patching all night tonight to make sure that as many people experience the launch as smoothly as possible. Thanks for all your patience!

Sweet, I'll have to dl this later on. After reading your official TDP forum in regards to a level cap, wouldn't transfering an older save put them over the level cap, or would it automatically lower them down to level 40 if over?

It automatically lowers anyone who got higher than 40.

And as an update, version 1.3 is out. It's been a long couple of nights... but hey, at least it went more smoothly than Battlefield 3, LOL.

I have to be the only idiot who hasn't played this! i seen it a few times on the forums and heard how greatly mentioned it was but UGHHHH im downloading it NOW
I really hope it lives up to its name
i'm laughing just reading the character Bios xD

EDIT: I would like to just point out something is wrong with the Hobotropolis link on your official site for the game, some extraction error but the link here on the forums works fine

Hey folks, just letting you know that tonight (Wednesday) at 7 PM EST, I'll be doing a live Q+A session with Hootey from Vinesauce Vidya. I don't really know what's going to happen, but I'm assuming it will involve some Qs and some As. Stop by and visit!

[Drunken Paladin]

I updated the main page with the latest Hobotropolis patch (1.4.5) and a brief description of the plot.

I strongly encourage people to check out the new content added after 1.4 came out--it adds over an hour of gameplay/cutscenes! All things considered, the game is easily 30-35 hours now for a full completion.

Also, I've added a lot to the character guide, including detailed skill lists for most of the characters (more coming soon).

Lastly, for those of you who may have lost your ancient save files and are short on time/energy, a few kindly souls have put up their save files for your convenience. Some of them are perfect for starting Hobotropolis!

[Drunken Paladin]

Hello, folks! It's now nearly three months after the release of Hobotropolis, and things have been going exceptionally well! It took a few patches to iron out all the bugs, but more people are playing than ever, and the game is at a place where I would not be uncomfortable leaving it to settle indefinitely...

But that's just not how I roll! Instead, I'm looking for a multi-talented, reliable individual to cooperate with--preferably someone with RPG Maker VX experience, passable scripting ability and experience working with the Tankentai Sideview Battle System.

If you're interested, you will be compensated in a number of ways:
- Money (albeit not a lot)
- Experience working on a project with ever-increasing popularity
- A credible reference for resumes
- A sneak peek at the database of a 30+ hour game, several-hundred maps, thousands of events, dozens of scripts both public and custom-made for this game only
- Fist-pounds and bro-grabs

Please contact me via e-mail at Anebriate@gmail.com or send me a private message on the Drunken Paladin forums. Thanks!

this is a fun game and all but i have a serious problem, read spoiler below..

Spoiler:

in the mercenary cave (the part with the poison cave part) i saved over 10 seconds left and i think it should reset after you leave the room because now im stuck in the game and cant do anything, it really really sucks.

Every time you re-enter the room, the time you have to solve the puzzle is reduced. I believe 10 seconds is the minimum amount of time it can be reduced to, and I was careful to ensure that it was still doable.

If you're struggling, one solution to the puzzle is shown on the walkthrough.

thanks for the walk through i had to do it like 15 times but i made it thanks again good game btw.
