To prove that the project is alive and well (And very close to completion), I thought I'd post some screen shots of DXOII:


The new title screen; required no ASM!


Sargon, our protagonist.


This is what happens when people stop caring about science in high school.


If it weren't for all the crazed Shogonite warriors trying to kill you, this might be a nice place.


An arms dealer. Sleazy, yet useful.

Wow. Very nice job. I was able to visit your site, and it seems that the project was down for a while...but this is gonna be something definitly worth playing when you release it. And um...exactly how big is the patch file?

138KB, though that may bump up a couple of more KB once the final music is inserted, etc. So over half the ROM has been altered (Signifigantly). Considering every piece of data has been hacked in one way or another, I presume most of the remaining 118KB is code.

Heh. You ought to run one of those byte compare things on it to see how much of the rom has been hacked.

I love the feel of the graphics. Especially on the overworld. And the music you released awhile back was awesome

I never was into final fantasy 1 on the NES, so I didn't think I would care about this hack, I didn't really pay much attention to any discussions that went on about it, untill a few months ago, when sliv allowed me to have a beta of this game to help fix a very minor bug.

Let me say I was both astonished and overwhelmed at the beta I recieved. The amount of artwork and music that went into this game is incredible -- I consider this one of the best rom-hacks ever made. You have completely fresh orginal music, and brand new artwork for everything, not to mention a whole new story and quest. It's nothing like Final Fantasy 1, rather It's like playing a whole completely new game.

All I can say is, prepare to be shocked and amazed at this.

I think the NSF alone said that, bbit.

Sliv's been saying that too, but as you pointed out, you hadn't been paying attention to the discussions.

Ok, I'm done taking cheap shots. Sliv, me want more movie you to take your time in the "final stages."

Very good. Really
I'm still amazed at the music though. Really catchy, especially Hylis and Shogonite. That short Hylis piece you sent me a long long time ago on IRC is still on my playlist .

The last image I linked is dead, since I ended up having to sacrifice a lot of tiles in order to get the last four screens in the intro (Yes, it's the intro now; it's triggered as soon as a new game is started, thanks to Vystrix Nexoth) to display text.

NASIR made it to where the alphabet tiles will not display in those windows, so I made a mirror alphabet that *would* display in space that was previously used for the road, and castle in the distance.

The downside was that DTE couldn't be used, but I remapped the pointers to padded space in the same bank to hold it all (Now there's 7 screens with 8 lines of text, and the 8th can hold 7, due to space restrictions).

Anyway, this is it now:



I've also redesigned the title screen to use the fading effect of the intro text better:



Finally, I hacked the ending screen; ignore the text, as I haven't gotten that far yet (The dialogue is currently being hacked from the ground up, and I anticipate it to take no longer than this weekend to finish.):



As of now, Gavin is working on some final ASM edits, and once I'm finished with the text I'll work on the battle formations, attack domains, and other statistical things. I don't expect that to take too long either, but I want to have a throughout beta test to make sure the difficulty is balanced before the final release.

After this, the only thing remaining is a few songs left that need to be hacked, but this should be a cakewalk for me to finish quickly. Maybe an October release isn't that unlikely, though it *should* be no later than November, depending on how long the beta test phase takes to complete.

The battle engine has been touched the least of anything so far, so I don't think it would do justice to what it will turn out to be to show it now. The aformentioned ASM hacks Mr. Gavin are doing are battle related, as a matter of fact. If a certain something is possible, I think it's going to turn out insanely sweet. Once work has progressed on it I'll post some screenshots for you. Or you could just beta test it.

Just like bbit, I have never had much interest in FF1 but this hack is just so amazing that I doubt having played FF1 will even matter. I highly await the final release of this, it's just too good to pass up.
