HOORAY! IT'S OCEANSPIRIT DENNIS

That's right! There's a new Oceanspirit Dennis in town, and it's awesome! How awesome you ask? Why it's the most awesome game to hit these forums since the forums went down! (It's also the only game to hit the forums between then and now, but why quibble?)

Oceanspirit Dennis: Archipelago Adventures! is everything you could hope to have in an OSD game -- and considering how low that bar is set, it was an easy goal to achieve!

This game allows you to explore an uncharted area of the mysterious and secret Eighth Sea. Along the way, you'll complete quests, upgrade your ship, explore dangerous islands, and do lots and lots of fighting with monsters and other pirates on the high seas. Learn new spells! Buy better weapons! Suffer incredible casualty rates! Buy booze by the barrel! All in the name of adventure!

* Ten islands to explore.
* Five types of sea monsters to fight.
* Seventeen kinds of ships to battle.
* Eight spells to learn.
* Four weapons to arm your mateys with.
* Eight different potions.
* A stylish man purse to carry stuff around in.
* Plus more!

Giant monsters, sunken ships, zombies, smugglers, deep sea simians, burning hot lava, and a crazed World War One balloonist with hand grenades! This game has it all.

So what are you waiting for? DOWNLOAD THE GAME and begin your pirate adventure!

An OSD game that costs that long to develop is a piece of worthless ~~shi...~~ shinobian syuriken!

OSD games ought to be quickly assembled to be awesome... unless... the time was spent in making the game more ~~racis...~~ sexy.

Perhaps. Or perhaps this is a new paradigm in OSD design. And I assure you this game is incredibly sexy. It has Oceanspirit Dennis, for pity's sake! Is there anyone sexier than him?

Which new character? There are tons of people in this game, some from previous OSD games, some created just for this story, and one who I stole from Baron's avatar!

If I'm downloading it just now, do I need the patch as well, or does a pirate come with his own?

I just noticed what you mean by "new character". If you talking about the "new character" that showed before then no or if you mean a character actually called "new character" then I really don't know.

If your copy of the game has a text file identifying it as version 1.1, you do not need the patch.

And thank you, Chicky. I hope you like the game.

In my download people do can-can. Are they supposed to do that? I also find the spontaneous explosion of pirate cheerleader Salty "Somersault" Sandra a BIT disturbing.

No, hey... sweet game!

I wasn't aware any of those things were in the game. But, hell, I worked on it for over a year. I can't remember what I put in there and what players might hallucinate because they've been sniffing glue or something.

I'm glad you like the game.

I got stuck in an infinite loop of lose.

No, but they SHOULD.

Wonkyth: Don't give up hope. This game was designed to be old school hard. Super Nintendo hard!

Here's a winning formula to winning the early part of the game.

That should get you started. The trick in the early game is to stay in the waters close to town. There are a lot of juicy merchant ships out there, but there are also a bunch of pirates -- all of whom are better equipped than you are at this stage of the game. So stick to the quests offered and avoid sailing around randomly for most of this chapter.

In fact, it's really not safe to prowl the seas until the later parts of this game. (You'll know you're ready when you've found the magical 3-speed oscillating table fan). And patrolling the hex you are in at sea is ALWAYS safer than sailing into a new one. If you spot a pirate ship while patrolling, you have the option of whether or not to fight it. But if you encounter one while entering a new hex, then they will attack you. (Storms are also safer while patrolling, as you have more time to prepare since you see them coming.)

Anyhoo, I hope that helps you out.

Monsieur OUXX: True. But I can't stick every fever dream Ghost has while sniffing glue in the game. He has far too many! I'd never have time to work on the next chapter of this game.

Ghost: Neats!
