News and Such

Finally. The release date is finally here.

Drop me an email or comment here if you have comments or suggestions on the mod. It is meant to be fairly challenging, but if you find something too difficult, shoot me an email…

I apologize for the delay in releasing the new Mod of Balance. There is a good “excuse”… I continue to find new and interesting things to edit! Because everything I hack changes the balance of the game, more playtesting is required so that I don’t give you a patch that makes a certain character class unplayable or a monster that you just can’t beat at level 99. Obviously, I overstate the case, but you get the point.

That said, if you want to help with the playtesting, email me and let me know. Otherwise, it’ll likely be another week until I release version 1.2. It’ll be worth the wait.

With the previous silly post out of the way, it’s on to actual business. Like the reasons you actually check this site, whether you’ve been here one time or many times.

What the freakin’ heck is that geek up to, anyway?

Well, I’ll tell you…

It seemed to me like I should actually attempt to post somewhat more regularly here, to let you know the projects I’m working on and to give me a forum to rant and blabber and so on.

So the site has now gone all Web 2.0™ since I implemented a blog for it today. Yeah. So, if it ever hits your fancy and you don’t feel like email forms, you can utilize comment forms instead. I’m always attempting to make life more simple for the user

By the way, sarcasm is a sin. Nah, no it’s not.

It’s been awhile since I last posted here, but I’ve been busy! I am now in the process of putting up my hacking notes for FF1 GBA. Thank you for all who have encouraged me to put these online.

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.

See what’s updated and download it here...

The long awaited Mod of Balance for Final Fantasy 1 Dawn of Souls 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 periodically appear here when I get those pages uploaded. Please be patient…

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.
