For example, after 1. Kadash accompanied Dalinar Kholin and his armies to the Shattered Plains to provide religious instruction while the War of Reckoning was fought. Adolin and Janala Lustow visited Kadash there in Kadash was concerned that Adolin had not made much progress with his Calling, but Adolin wished to speak to Kadash about Dalinar's visions and his growing concerns about Dalinar's sanity.
The two spoke in private on the temple's central mound. Adolin told Kadash of Dalinars visions and asked Kadash if they could really be coming from the Almighty or if he was simply losing his mind. Kadash was unwilling to give a direct answer due to his loyalty to Dalinar, but he spoke about the Hierocracy, explaining that they too had spoken of visions, which the Sunmaker had claimed to be a fabrication. Kadash said that he felt that it was unlikely that the visions would come from the Almighty, and implied that Dalinar might be haunted by his experiences on the battlefield, but stopped short of actually saying that Dalinar was mad.
Kadash told Adolin that he was the only one that could help his father and asked that Adolin return soon to discuss his Calling. Later that year, Kadash proposed to Dalinar that they could Soulcast large blocks of stone for windbreaks on the eastern side of Dalinar's camp to allow it to expand onto the Shattered Plains.
Kadash accompanied the Soulcasters to the edge of Dalinar's warcamp to perform the Soulcasting. The Soulcasters had such a demand on their time that Kadash had taken them out during the day, to Soulcast concealed within an enclosed silk canopy.
Adolin had seen them from a distance, and came to speak to Kadash. He confided in Kadash that Szeth had attempted to assassinate Dalinar and made use of the powers of the Radiants. Kadash was shocked at this, and disturbed by the idea that the Radiants could be returning.
He agreed to do research into their abilities for Adolin so he could be better equipped to combat Szeth if he should return. After the Battle of Narak , Kadash moved to Urithiru.
He came into conflict with Dalinar however, who had started saying that the Almighty was dead. It is up to you to successfully deal with each of your encounters--good or bad.

I am surprised that the same team went on to create Betrayal at Krondor given how methodical and leisurely-paced that game is. I look forward to your coverage of that; it's one of my favorites.
I'd never heard of Cadash , which seemed to come out in , but it's hard to believe that it's a coincidence. And There is a rather recent mobile game called Kim Kadashian as well i recall. Dynamix also made an adventure game "heart of china" unless I remember it wrong.
Heart of China "HOC! Both very odd entries to the adventure genre. Beamish too. As a kid playing those games, I was not a fan of the timed sequences, and the arcade bits seemed underdeveloped and unnecessary. On the other hand, they added a nice sort of "movie feel" to adventure games.
Yeah those arcade bits Not so long ago I've finished development of the first 'release', so to speak, version of my OS for xbased PCs.
As a part of my retrogaming project I've decided to make a game as a test program; a text roguelike with a fantay-horror theme think Dark Souls. Needless to say that writing a program of this scope for an OS without any API or libraries or anything is a pain. Pure assembly language, manual memory management I'm pretty sure my experience is very close to that of the game developers from early 80s. Anyways, the project is more than halfway done and I hope to finish it in a couple of months!
I'm an old cuss too I did some programming on the C64 back in the mid to late 80s before getting an Amiga Have not done much since then. My plan is to knock out some simple games for the step-grandkids for the Christmas season next year. Love readying your blog. Really brings me back I tried my own hand at Assembly on an old computer a few years ago, but that was before I became a father.
No time for that stuff now! I may not have been inspired to write my own games due to the Addict's blog, but my own blog is a direct result from this one, so there's that.
Well, I may not be 15, but my oldest kid is. She doesn't show any interest in creating games. She doesn't even play games any more. She might be good at game artwork though. I'm doing exactly that, though aiming more to a "Disciples of Steel" rather than this.
Does it count if I'm almost 40? I'll second Chris Cole that creating games can be great fun. It is arguably one of my greatest accomplishments. Lots of fun. A good blend of technical and creative skills, very educational, very rewarding.
I'm in the older crowd, and kind of needed an example game to get me started Kingdom of Loathing , but in a lot of ways it felt like a culmination of multiple paths I'd been pursuing for years. Programming's been abstracted far past that. Or I'm a lousy, self-taught programmer who just hasn't picked up on the finer points.
Either is possible. Still, if you're even remotely interested in programming, art, strategy, tactics, techniques, or winning of any sort, making you own game has the potential to be a very rewarding and enlightening process. I wouldn't go that far as to make people program in machine codes this days, but knowledge of assembler is mandatory for being a good programmer.
Of course if your only intention is to write office applications, you can live without ASM but otherwise there will always be some bottleneck part in your code that can be optimized greatly through the use of direct processor instructions. Besides, it gives you understanding of how the very thing you are writing you programs for is working, and disciplines the mind if nothing else.
It was my understanding that most modern compilers have gotten so efficient that the advantages in speed of hand-written assembly code are greatly outweighed by ease of development in higher level languages. Is that not the case? Just curious, as it's been a long time since I had to do any application development. True enough, but no compiler understands your goals better than yourself, so a good programming skill is always better.
Every library routine is designed to be universal, so if you know you don't need some of it's capabilities, chances are you can write your own, more efficient.
But again, I'm not saying everyone should use assembly language exclusively. There's reason to use it in critical places or, as in my case, when no API or libraries exist. I, personally, love the control ASM gives me over my code, but yeah, today it's a matter of preference mostly.
There's also the issue of portability. If you intend for your software to be on more than one platform, it's best not to go poking around directly at the hardware, unless you want to spend a lot of time doing that for each and every bit of hardware out there. Nice graphics for that time.
The graphics remind me of several Atari computer games, "Pharoah's Curse", "Realm of Impossibility", and of course "Montezuma's Revenge". So the plot of this game goes like this? It's like opening a pork chop restaurant that serves only Muslim customers. It's almost as if marketing stooges who slap together framing stories aren't really invested in the game. I've made an RPG, although I'm ten years past the range you requested. I did actually write a few games when I was in the age range.
Unfortunately, none of them quite qualify as RPGs by your definitions. There is one that's close for which I patterned the engine off of Castle Adventure, But it's purely keyboard-driven hack-and-slash where you fight monsters that differ only in name and number of hitpoints to to collect gold that you can haul back to town to buy more lamp oil and, if I remember rightly, weapon boosts. The goal is to find the magic portal in the dungeon that goes elsewhere.
It's not horrible for what it is, and it amused my younger brothers for many hours Mostly with finding the glitches they could use to cheat Although they never did manage to beat it They kept getting greedy and distracted by the dragon's horde, and then mercilessly slaughtered by the dragon and his servants which you don't even have to go anywhere near in order to win. I'd intended to write a sequel with an actual inventory, but with no Internet available at the time, devising an inventory system capable of storing arbitrary, character-attribute-affecting objects, along with their weight and bulk and nested containers all on my own kind of burned me out on the idea, and when I got on to writing a plot I had no energy left for it.
Looking back, I'm quite pleased with how close the data structures I built come to what a modern programmer would use especially given that I was writing in BASIC but at the time it was a huge source of frustration. I do appreciate all these stories. I literally wouldn't have any idea how to get started if I wanted to write a game. I think maybe I'd be good at the content but not the programming. I've finally had time to track down a game creation tool from the early to mid 90s at least, the final and only-still-available version is that I've been meaning to suggest you add to your list.
It's actually a pretty well done Ultima-esque game engine that comes with a reasonably good if short sample adventure intended to be studied and added to by beginning game creators and there was one widely-recognized completed game built with it.
So far as I remember from the old changelog, the bulk of the changes between and were primarily bug fixes and art updates for higher screen resolutions, but there were a fair number of updates to the scripting engine and the default scripts to make life eaiser for game authors.
The DBQuest module for it is from , so maybe that's a good compromise if you want something a little more in-depth than the rather short sample adventure. Having the same name as someone involved with American Idol is a sure way to get buried in the search engine rankings it seems. Not that you'd need to bother with them anyway unless your liking for Ultima-esque games overwhelms you. I could see buying Sword of Kadash in and having lots of fun with it as I slowly learned its pitfalls and perils, finally winning after a few months of effort.
For some reason, this kind of difficulty has received a lot of bashing in modern times This is because the "Unavoidable Death" scenarios that allow a game's longevity to be artificially lengthened is a crap mechanic in the first place. Nobody likes that. If you have no other types of entertainment available, sure. But when you have so many other offerings that offers you much better options, why would you suffer needlessly?
Can anyone get the apple II, Atari st, and Macintosh versions to work? I don't even have screenshots of the mac version. I'm about done mapping the entire c64 version with actual screenshot sized maps ones upon just entering the room not activating traps. I have to write up the room descriptions and activated trap as well as finish xp per item, shots to kill mobs, and AC and Power of armor and weapons at lvl 1. I wanted to compare with other version and make maps of those versions as well.
Seems my apple roms of kadash say No Boot so that sucks. I probably need a better emulator. Suggestion for these other versions. I want to submit my final results to gamefaqs. Another thing I'm doing is trying to find the names of the various monsters, city, and even the dragon. I believe they are all Turkish, india, Persian, and Iraq references. Arabian I suppose which obviously makes sense. But man, its not as easy as it sounds. Wow, that's a lot of work. But if any game needs a walkthrough for modern players, I supposed it's this one.
I don't know if the monsters have official names. This is evident in the fact that the only two creatures that ARE definitively named--liches and the dragon--are not from that culture. The map insert has the names. It's a nice poster with position reference to the color art and what the in game mobs look like apple version I believe - thus why I want to get the apple emulator up. It's just one of those things I'd been wanting to do for years I can't be sure but the artist for the box art and the poster and xyphus poster art is S.
Wedimeyer or something. It's hard to tell. I really wish there was a website dedicated to game and book art giving credit to the artist of the cover, manuals, and in-game artwork.
I enjoyed the interview of the room designers. Spambots attacking posts? Anyways, as to monster and looking at the poster artwork here's what I've come up with: Arabian - High Fantasy: 1. Skeletons - skeletons 2.
Scorpion - giant scorpion 3. Bat - giant bat 4. Snake - giant snake 5. Gazik - demon 6.
