RMVX Tales of the Drunken Paladin: Version 3! (April 2017)

[Drunken Paladin]

​

Hello! This is Tales of the Drunken Paladin, a fantasy-comedy RPG about a universally disliked hero who very suddenly loses absolutely everything--including his identity--and must go on a quest to find out who's responsible. If I'm being 100% honest, it's also largely a game about interacting with thousands of inanimate objects. Literally, I don't think any other game in the history of video games has written interactions for so many inanimate objects.

It started on RPG Maker 2000, moved to XP, then to VX. It has been more than ten years in development and gone through multiple releases and expansions. Now, as of April 2017, it has reached its final and greatest iteration in the form of Version 3. One full playthrough is between 40-60 hours. Once you've beaten the game, hard mode is unlocked.

Version 3 features massive dialogue overhauls, combat rebalances, system improvements and many hours of new content. It also features swear words, so player discretion is advised. As always, the game is free.

Oh sweet baby jesus... DP is back and even is giving us an updated version of TotDP. Well, guess I know what game is taking up my weekend now. I have to go back an relive this one. I havent played TotDP since my review of it a while back, and you didnt even release China, Maine yet back then.

And BTW, how ya been Paladin? Long time no talk to.

 

[Drunken Paladin]

Hey Hyde, long time no see, my man.

Now's a hell of a time to get back into the Paladin.

 

[hyde9318]

Well, I think I am going to have to do at least one more review video. I think doing a follow up video on TotDP would be great to show off the two expansions you did.

And it couldn't have come at a better time either. Our new community just got our own YouTube channel for our members to submit trailers and such, so now I have a place to add some new review videos.

You wouldn't mind if I did a follow up review, would you?

I heard this game is funny as hell...today being friday. I think I'm set to do another let's play and enjoy myself a humorous game rather than a game that tests my mettle, reactions, and the bond between stairs...damn you castlvania.

Not at all. This is public domain now, my friend. Even if I did have a problem, I couldn't stop you from expressing your opinion.

Hey, I have a Huge amount of respect for you. And plus, I know how much effort you actually put into this project. So I just felt better asking for your opinion first.

Best game, now in a more epic form that is version 2.

You are a hero of heroes, Anebriate.

Simple question, I love your maps. Did you parallax map it or is it with custom tilesets? Either way, I'm loving this game. ^^

 

[RPGmorpho]

is this compatible with VX ace? just wondering

It includes the RTP so you should be fine.

 

[Milkdud]

Alright, downloading this for sure -- I still have yet to beat Big Trouble in Little China, Maine. Maybe I'll finally complete that task.

is this compatible with VX ace? just wondering

It was made with VX, so no it's not compatible with it.

Really, I don't have VX anymore and I can still play it? I guess I misunderstood and he meant "does he have the ability to open it with vx ace."

 

[Milkdud]

The RTP was included, so anyone can play it without RPG Maker. Either he's asking if the VX Ace RTP will work instead, or he's asking if he can open the game in VX Ace.

Just to clarify, the game can be played by anyone, regardless of whether they own any RPG Maker programs, but it cannot be edited in any RPG Maker program since it's encrypted.

And to respond to the question about mapping--I would say that of the nearly 500 maps in the game, only 30-35 are done with parallax; the rest are just from tilesets and events. But I'm glad you enjoy them!

 

[Ooda]

Oh lordy lord, I wondered how long it would take TDP to merge over here...;]

Well I guess its time to play it all over, man I friggin loved this game back in the day, great work, man:3

Yeah, I'm personally a fan of good mapping, And I can tell you my eyes were pleased .^^
