Lunar Threads

In the past 24 hours, the iOS version of Lunar 1, Lunar Silver Star Touch, was updated to version 3. Since the game was initially released on iOS devices over 10 years ago, this is the most significant update so far. Here is a comprehensive list of changes: Graphics Changes - The game now renders at...

As an artist who is selling more art than I make in my day job at this point, I will say NFTs have caught my eye for a while. I've never been interested in crypto whatsoever, but I personally know artists who have made over $100k off of NFTs. That said, it seems like so much work just to understand ...

The biggest thing that needs updating with the site is that it's not responsive. I'm years late with updating it, but I've had ideas in the back of my mind for a facelift for a year or so now. Even preliminary designs I mocked up (which I currently cannot find...). Maybe one of these days you'll all...

I know there's not many left around here from the very beginning or early years, but for the few that are, or that want to know the history of this site (and the original version, which is now RPGFan): http://www.rpgfan.com/features/RPGFan-20th-Anniversary/RPGFan-Founders-Roundtable/index.html Back ...

That occurred to me too. It feels like Star Wars as a series treats its other species primarily as a form of world-building. The Cantina scene, the Jawa sandcrawler, and the Tusken Raiders are all obstacles, enablers, or flavor in any given scene. Chewie and Nien Nunb (from Return of the Jedi) act ...

Anyone who hates the SW prequels, I dare you to watch any of the Highlander sequels. You will learn a new definition to the word bad ("There can only be one!") Sequel movies, yeah, but I'm a massive fan of the Highlander TV series. But to go back to the topic at hand, I liked the movie. B...

So I rarely keep up with gaming news. Breath of the Wild is the only new RPG or RPG like game I've played in probably 5 years. However, I randomly noticed a post on Facebook about a remake for Secret of Mana that's planned for the PS4, PS Vita and Steam in February of 2018. Looks like a fun time dow...

Yup! It was one of the coolest natural phenomenon I've ever witnessed, and I've seen a lot of cool stuff. Up there with the Northern Lights for sure. This might help folks who didn't witness it. I drove up to Nebraska and sent my drone up in the sky to try to capture the moon's shadow as it raced ac...

Thing is, Lunar DID release a game where they changed a lot about the series that we love. It was called Dragon Song and it was panned by most reviewers. That said, I remember reading interviews from Shigeru Miyamoto in the past that said much of his inspiration for Zelda is exploration. He said whe...

I don't remember Dragon Song's music much, but the music in the final area of Breath of the Wild is REALLY good, in my opinion.

Uhhh, best axe ever goes to the Woodcutter's Axe! Without it, Alex may never have become Dragonmaster and this place wouldn't exist!

Mine has worked flawlessly. I had a little inner worry about the size of the world and the talk about breaking weapons, items, etc. (kind of reminded me of Dragon Song actually) but 4-5 hours in and it's already up there for one of the best Zelda experiences in the series. I almost have more fun amb...

I just recently heard the Switch won't come with Virtual Console at launch at least. I've been trying to find concrete information about this, mainly because I can't sell my Wii U until I know I can transfer the Virtual Console games somewhere. I actually preordered the Switch when it became availa...

Regarding the timeline, what of an interactive gallery timeline of sorts? I've had ideas for that for a long time, but just haven't had the time to build it out. Some of the timeline sites I've seen that have won awards at awwwards.com and thefwa.com have been pretty remarkable. It would be really ...

Curious - what kinds of things need updating on the timeline? I'm sure there's a lot, but I'm genuinely curious if you've got new content or if there's anything incorrect. I know I based some of the dates off of Working Designs translations, so they may be different in the original text? But I think...

The issue is time. Between working a normal 40+ hour a week job, running a business and having a family, I know I don't have any extra time left in the day to work on LunarNET these days. I would love to do projects like this, as the 20th anniversary hits at the end of the year, but sadly, time keep...

We also didn't get paid like we were supposed to! *grumble grumble* I think it would make a cool feature to release those documents, but I would assume that's against whatever was in the NDA. (I'm not even sure I have a copy of any of it anymore though, as I lost a lot of my Lunar documents to a dea...

The biggest disappointment i had with Dragon Song was how much they ignored a lot of the history they had already created with previous games (both Sega CD and Playstation/Saturn versions). The biggest problem being that Vane should have been at least in it's early stages. TSS (maybe SSS too?) menti...

I'm kind of at a halt with EB. Because of the giant power cords of the Genesis and Sega CD, I have one hooked up on one outlet, and one on another. So between needing the controller to reach the couch, and the AV cords to reach the TV, the Genesis/SCD combo is like in the middle of the room being pu...

I'm still alive! I'm part way through EB at this point (died in the Meribian Sewers and haven't come back to it in a day or so). One thing I had forgotten about the originals was how distinct each game was. I know we've talked about it before, but TSS feels raw and literally like you're playing thro...
