About the Game
|
|
--------------
|
|
You have just learned that you are a prince from a small kingdom off of the
|
|
Silkroad called Littleland. When you were young evil forces conspired against
|
|
your family resulting in your parents' demise. Fortunately, a loyal family
|
|
retainer, Radley, was able to whisk you away to safety and left you in the care
|
|
of the old family wet nurse. Now you must find the pieces of the Rainbow Mirror
|
|
scattered across the Silkroad in order to return home. Armed with this item you
|
|
will be able to reveal the truth and reclaim your kingdom.
|
|
|
|
The game has a strong commerce element. You must trade goods in the cities along
|
|
the Silkroad. You have access to several basic goods/commodities in the beginning,
|
|
but as you fight you earn License Points (LP) which allow you to earn a new License
|
|
for the area you are in. A License permits you to trade a good you previously
|
|
never had access to before. You do not gain levels either. Instead as you make
|
|
money you buy new arms which increases your strength and total HP.

About the Project
|
|
-----------------
|
|
This was the first romhacking project I ever attempted. At the beginning of summer of
|
|
1998 I left for home and decided to learn try my hand at NES romhacking. All I had were
|
|
tools and utilities gathered from various sites and all the romhacking docs I could find.
|
|
I tried for a few days then gave up finding it tedious and having to start my summer job.
|
|
I had made very, very little progress. Two weeks before having to return to college my
|
|
summer job ended. I decided to try my hand at Silkroad again. A little into it I decided
|
|
to start over and in those two weeks I had successfully translated 15% of the game.
|
|
However I had done this without a script dump and a disgustingly huge amount of "two
|
|
letters in one tile" combinations. Well after that I had a few people playtest this alpha
|
|
and MadHacker did some great enhancements but after all this I left the project on the shelf.
|
|
|
|
Then winter break hit (December 19th I think). The week before it began I decided to learn
|
|
ver basic script dumping and using Jair's utility Script Extractor (yeah, I'm one of
|
|
the few who doesn't use Thingy) I had dumped the entire script as well as several lists.
|
|
I went home and booted up the old 486 and started all over again. A couple of days
|
|
before winter break ended (January 19th) I had completed all the translating and romhacking.
|
|
|
|
I returned and look for playtesters. I found a few willing to do so and sent them the beta.
|
|
As time passed they sent me bugs and fixed those up. I also had some fantastic assistance from Madhacker. He did wonders with expanding certain areas I couldn't. Now, into the
|
|
beginning of February, Wampus reported in being the first and so far only (besides myself)
|
|
person to finish the game. Well this project has waited long enough so here it is, Rainbow Silkroad released...
|
|
|
|
I've worked long enough on this one and there are only a few buggy things left. The enemies
|
|
Cpede and Mpede have yet to be changed. It's easy enough to do it but I'm lazy. Also the
|
|
store sign bother me but that's how they were don in the Japanese version. If I had 50 or so
|
|
extra tiles free i could replace the letters with graphic signs but i don't. Finally the
|
|
buy/sell options are condensed. I've done everything I can but can't expand it unless I
|
|
sacrafice something else so that stays. Well that's it. If there's text error tell me, if
|
|
you want to complain I don't want to here it.
