VoE DX Another of my projects is Voyages of Eternity DX. It is a full-featured, modular RPG system, built from scratch with Visual Basic 6.0 using DirectX 7.0 technology. I am looking for help especially from 2-D graphic artists who would make character portraits, and monsters to show up in battles. For more information on the project, and especially if you would like to help me on it, please visit the Voyages of Eternity website.

Mod of Balance— A new re-balancing hack for this classic RPG, making its port for the Game Boy Advance more challenging and satisfying. Check it out here.

News

Posting is sparse (6-12-2009)

I managed to get the weapons page for FF1 GBA up today. I apologize for the slowness in updating the Final Fantasy portion of the site. Life has been fast and furious, as I am currently in the process of buying a house, keeping a few web development clients happy, and rooting for the Detroit Red Wings to win the Stanley Cup in 2009. Go Wings! Life never ceases to be interesting. I will update the site as I can.

Final Fantasy 1— Mod of Balance version 1.0 released (5-20-2009)

See what's updated and download it here.

Also, I wanted to give a shout out to Zophar's Domain. This site is a veritable clearinghouse of information for the console game modder. They have emulators, technical docs, and much more. They also have a huge variety of hacks that have been released for all sorts of emulated consoles. I am honored that they have agreed to host this mod. Thanks for that.

Final Fantasy 1- Dawn of Souls mod added (5-14-2009)

The long awaited "Mod of Balance" for Final Fantasy 1 for the GBA has arrived! This mod completely rebalances the game and you can get it here. General information on the changes is there as well. More specific information will be found here when I get those pages uploaded. Please be patient.

Let me know if you are interested in hacking this ROM as well, and I will see what I can do to help. If enough people are interested, I will post my hacking notes online, and perhaps write an editor for the ROM as well.

Wizards and Warriors pages updated (4-6-2009)

Finally... content is being added after a rather long hiatus! The Wizards and Warriors pages are updated; the weapon and armor listings are much improved, having the advantage of using my item editor to view most of the properties of every item in the game. I am not aware if there are items which are not findable, but I do know that a few of the items I found in the data files are items I have never seen in the games I have played.

Speaking of the item editor, it is free and available for download here. It is capable of viewing and changing all items, as well as modifying any monster's carried equipment and the loot lists. I am not responsible for what you do with it, so back up your d6item.dat, d6mons.dat, and d6trlist.dat files. That said, please enjoy!

Hello. My name is Jeff, and I am a video game addict. . . Hi Jeff

Ahem. Thanks. And that's why this site is here, basically. I wanted to showcase my favorite games... the games that have entertained me for years and inspired me to program. As this site is updated, expect to see resources for Final Fantasy 1, Final Fantasy 6, 7th Saga, Might and Magic 7, and maybe more. It honestly depends on how much time I get to put into video game modding, and whether I put it online or not .

Most of the Wizardry 8 and Wizards and Warriors information here was moved from christian-coder.com. However, I decided to focus Christian Coder more on video gaming with a Christian ethos, and use this space as my video game review and modding page.

If I can make my downloadable content better, or if you'd simply like to sound off on the content of this site or video games in general, please feel free to contact me.
