WARNING! SPOILERS! (altough some stuff might be outdated)
What follows are paper notes written by hand that I used to help myself work on certain of my large calculator projects. Some are missing, altough I must have them somewhere, but a lot of the stuff that is here is stuff I didn't thought I still had. There are even notes from the Reign Of Legends 4ever project I was working on during Fall 2004 and notes from another ROL4 project I totally forgotten (yes, finally there were 3 ROL4 projects). Stuff below ranges from May 2002 to January 2005. I might upload more later.
Note that several parts of these notes are in french, as it was easier to write this way for me back then. The only parts that were written in english were the ones that didn't require much effort to translate and when I wanted to save time, as french text is longer in general to write. Also my handwriting is not very good.
The Reign Of Legends 1 bestiary and maps (2003)
About the following, you have no clue how long this took to draw. I though this would guide myself to put the game maps in the calc, but finally it made me waste so much time. Still kinda cool nonetheless I guess. A few other notes available on those paper sheets:
Also, below you can see some notes about the game characters. Initially, Yuna was supposed to be named Yunai, and Oje was supposed to be named Goone.
The Reign Of Legends 2 bestiary (2003)(there's a more up to date bestiary for ROL2 included with the game files in HTML format)
The Reign Of Legends 3 map drafts and deleted scene (2004)
And initially, I planned to allow a way to finish ROL3 earlier, skipping the entire 2235 AD portion of the game by getting a special item in the first village after finishing all 4 elemental palaces, instead of heading to the South Keep underground shelter. Here is it below, although it's in French:
The boss would have started the fight with Omega spell.
In the current game version, there is an indirect reference to this event, where a guy mentions the Elemental Cross, which is the convergence of all palace diagonals. Those lines crosses at Kindapulk village location, where the unused game event was planned to occur.
Below here's a sheet of notes for ROL3, but notice how initially magic combos were planned for certain orbs. Those never made it to the final game, and instead became regular magics.
Illusiat 11 bosses (2002)I think this one is up to date. Feu, Glace and Foudre are the elemental protection. The higher the number, the stronger the monster is against that element (which is fire, ice and bolt, respectively). 3rd last boss in the list is the infamous optional boss in the final chapter. I don't remember exactly why I even bothered putting a Gold Piece column in that list, as bosses in that game doesn't give any money. I guess I was probably planning to also list enemies at first.
Mana Force tips & tricks (2002)Small walkthrough I was going to start for people at school. This walkthrough was for version 1.3 or later. I finally stopped working on it and just tips and tricks were finished. I am unsure why I did this considering how easy this game was (it was aimed to introduce people to calculator RPGs)
Mystique: la Larme du Dragon notes (2002)Most were written and planned by the game co-author
Reuben Quest: Ev Awakening notes (2004)Sorry for crappy quality
Reuben Quest: The Lost Mirror (2004-05)Again, my apologies for shitty image quality
The Reign Of Legends 4ever notes (2004)The infamous ROL4 project (
original progress topic and
screenshots)
The Reign Of Legends 3-II: Theola Shire notes (2004)I totally forgot I even had started writing notes for this project. This was going to be the original ROL4. It was started before ROL4ever, but never made it further than the paper sheet below. I was planning to rename the game to The Reign Of Legends 3-II: Theola Shire, as it was a direct sequel to The Reign Of Legends 3, featuring both ROL3 main character and a mysterious guy that appears out of nowhere during the final battle.
Kirby's World (2002)This project never made it past planning stages. It was all planned by my bro, but was way too ambitious for my calc programming skills at the time. I believe this was planned before Illusiat 9, around Summer 2002.
This was gonna be a Kirby RPG on the home screen.
