Thanks guys!

Btw: Don't attempt to use the "ZYT" mantra for the Shrine of Valor (as seen in the previous screenshot)... I temporarily changed the name of the mantra for the screenshot only.

hehe I assume bad stuff happen, right?

btw in U5 is there that kind of trap where if you do something bad you have to restart the entire game from beginning and your save file is deleted ? I remember a RPG that did that for SNES or PSX

Nope... If you get the mantra wrong, the Shrine will simply reply with, "Thy thoughts are unfocused" and send you on your way.

Nope... In Ultima V, you never really die for good. If everyone in your party dies, the spirit of Lord British will bring you all back to life at a specific location; and you will lose some experience though. You can always bypass this method with a ressurrection spell or by visiting a healer.

There are 2 different endings in Ultima V. The ending of choice depends on whether or not you have ALL of the king's items when you finally meet him.

Hint: you better learn to play the harpischord!

harpsicord... will a ukelele be okay?

Or maybe an electric organ on the harpsichord setting? lol Anyways is the specific locations like save points or does it bring you back to just before the battle where you died?

The game only saves when you tell it to save.

Do you think I should implement an auto save feature?

In the original UV, you could only save when you were in the world map. I will be expanding the save game command to include town and dungeon maps -- but not combat maps.

When everyone in your party dies, no matter where you are, you are taken to the top of the king's castle. His spirit will resurrect the entire party for a small price.

will you have specific location where allowed to save? like in Final fantasy you can save in the center of stone circles or something like that, altough it differs between each games? Of course you can save anywhere on the worldmap

My current plans are to allow saving from any location at any time within both world maps, every town map, and every dungeon map.

I currently do not have plans to support saving from combat maps

Great to see the percentage increase, this project is amazing as usual :thumbup:

Saving from anywhere sounds great, it was kinda annoying in FF too almost complete a dungeon but die, and restart

yeah >.<

In star Ocean for PS1 it was annoying too to see the game crash after a battle near the end of the dungeon (it happens quite often)
