The Drunken Lizard Pub

Thanks to all, especially to the handful of members who still stop by regularly. It may seem weird, but we did sell nearly 500 copies of Book II & III in 2021, so there are new players still steadily coming in and checking the forums for solutions. Thank you and welcome! I am emailed regularly and a...

Love to all! Have a great Thanksgiving!

I still get emails frequently from all over the world asking about the next project. I'll try to provide an update at the end of the year.

Ah, that looks cool! I've added it to my Steam wishlist, will grab at next sale for sure.

Thanx for the info, I'm grabbed it also and will play it this weekend.

Good to hear from ya, Bernie! I want in on the game action if you're going to start throwing steam codes around! Things are the same around here. I make a bit of progress on the next game, just a little bit at a time, and then I get some outside dev work and spend 2-3 weeks doing that because it pay...

I would hope that if we could get it to build, the benefit would be to let fans keep the games alive - release builds for recent OSes, port Book 1/2 to the Book 3 engine, support mods, etc.

Sending you a PM.

When I get back, I will devote a full day to seeing if I could get Eschalon compiled again. Just wanted to follow up on this. So, with the latest version of BlitzMax, there are a number of [expected] compiler errors that initially were no problem fixing, mostly having to do with changing variable d...

It runs fine on both of my Windows 10 laptops. Most likely it's a corrupt .cfg file. Delete everything inside of:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Basilisk Games\Book 3 Saved Games\

And then restart the game.

Any idea when that might happen? I want that game lol It seems I repeat myself on this every 6-9 months, so I guess it's time to do it again. :D The Sci-Fi game has been through at several iterations, including a nearly 2 year development cycle with a full 3D / First Person engine, which I had to s...

I am a bit tempted! I think the current version of BlitzMax is called "BlitzMax-NG" (Next Generation, I assume?). So I am going to go on vacation next week. When I get back, I will devote a full day to seeing if I could get Eschalon compiled again. I'll probably start with Book III, since that code ...

I'm sorry, no. It would be a lot of work for very few sales overall. I am not even convinced that we could ever get the code to recompile anymore. However, interestingly I did see that BlitzMax has been revived as an open source project and has an active community. Perhaps one day when I'm bored I'l...

Happy holidays to you Leezar. Sorry to hear you're feeling stressed out. Remember: Worry is the misuse of imagination. Try not to dwell on bad thoughts of events that have not, and may not, happen. But I understand that 2020 has been a very stressful year for pretty much everyone, so know that you a...

This guy speedrun Book I in just over an hour. Who's gonna beat it?

It's nice to feel that Basilisk Games is still a going concern. I missed being able to check in a see if anything was happening... I'm sorry Painted Lady. I'm sure it is very frustrating to be waiting on new info. Covid has pretty much brought everything to a halt for a number of reasons, of which ...

What's with the bright colors though??? I need to find a good dungeon theme.
