Dragon Warrior: Dragoon X

I was working on this at the same time as Final Fantasy Epic, but this project was much more ambitious: A full scale RPG hack.

I redid all the graphics, the text and the dungeon/town levels. I also altered the monster stats along with item prices and such.

This is the precursor to Dragoon X Omega. The “Omega” comes from the fact that it was the final iteration of Dragoon X, and as a result ended up with a bulky name for its sequel. ;)

Dragoon X Omega was mainly done because my friend Alex (Who is now a Geo Physicist) played through Dragoon X, and commented on how badly the graphic I did were. And lord, was he right: The enemies in particular are terribly drawn, but visual art has *never* been my strong suit.

The overworld and music are the same as Dragon Warror, as Townedit had no OW support at the time, and no one to my knowledge even knew where to start regarding NES music hacking in this era.

It’s an interesting footnote if you like the DXO series, and that’s about it…

Dragoon X Final
Hacked by Sliver X (sliverx@hotmail.com)
Original game: Dragon Warrior
***************************************************
What you need:

An unaltered rom of Dragon Warrior.

An IPS patching program.

This IPS file.
***************************************************
It's finally done, not that I expect too many people to care.
Have fun.
***************************************************
What the hell's new in this version?

I finished rewriting all the dialogue, finished the unchanged enemies,
messed around with a few existing changes, such as some enemies and
the townsmen for aesthetic reasons, made a few pallete changes by
altering the attribute table, renamed all the items, weapons, ect.
Basically everything in the game is altered, except a few of the
dungeon levels, which I didn't feel like screwing with, and the over
world, which I have no idea how to hack into.

***************************************************
Things that really piss me off about this hack.

1. My artistic abilities.
2. Some of the palletes, such as the guards at the end of the game.
3. The way some blocks of text get repeated by three different people
at different points in their dialogue, and the small amount of text
space. But what can I expect? This game IS older than hell.


Other than that, I'm pretty happy about this hack. I had alot of fun
doing it, and that's all that really matters to me. Hopefully you'll
get at least 10 minutes of enjoyment out of this.
****************************************************
What's next?

Uh, I have no idea. It takes forever doing an extensive hack with
only one person working on it. I might try something with Astyanax or
Clash at Demon Head, once I get some free time.
Anyway, hope you like this, and I'm probably wasting my time asking
this, but email me if you find any spelling errors, just plain fucked
up shit, or actually have any comments on this.
