Much approved. I see that download counts have increased.

Expect streaming of this whenever I get back home or thereabouts, assuming I'm not trying to mess with a FFT mod.

Awesome!

We'll say yes.

Weird. I'll toss it onto the 1.8.6 pile along with a potential Atma/Omega Weapon overflow fix.

1.8.5 is up!

Thanks for your patience, everybody.

So, we were lucky enough that my good friend Leadbeer was starting up a new run just as we got the beta release created and he plans on blasting through the game over the next couple of days, so we're going to play this one safe and wait for him to finish and make sure there aren't any... unexpected surprises waiting for us.

In the meantime, feel free to stop by his stream!

Aw man, that or Jim Beam is usually my go to. Not too fancy, but definitely a step up from Ten High

I generally stick with beer. If I'm doing liquor, I tend toward vodka.

The bottle ended up going to the party booze stash - I fucking can't stand Jack Daniels

Last year's Halloween outfit.

So, just an update... 1.8.5 is currently going through some testing. We're looking at a proper release tomorrow if everything checks out.

It wasn't possible to know that on ID and it's not possible here now, either.

The anniversary date is the 31st.

At this point I would say to go ahead and wait. The 4th anniversary of BNW's release is coming up soon and I'm really hoping to have 1.8.5 out before then.

You should be able to switch votes. I'll bug Ninjas about it.

I'll ask around and see if anyone knows anything.

I will cut you.

What city is that in? Kinda looks like the one here in Texas.

You were going to post something here about the LoZ randomizer, Crimson?

Not sure if typo...

I feel like there should be a "beta" tag and/or section of the downloads section.

See, if it was me, the question would be "if I was a spammer, I would..." and the correct answer would be "kill myself".

I edited the posts in this thread with the black theme in mind:

I imagine it would look quite terrible with a lighter theme.

I'd like to know more.

Where can I download Brave New World?

Right here.

I'm having a problem getting something to work.

Wait, I thought you said this wasn't a hardtype mod? This is definitely a hardtype mod.

This depends on how "hard-type" is defined. In the classic sense, i.e. the commercial hard-type of Final Fantasy IV, it is. However, in the context of ROMhacks, where the term "hard-type" is closely associated with "kaizo"-style hacks (i.e. fake difficulty for the purposes of self-induced schadenfreude) or simply real difficulty sufficient to render it a niche product, Brave New World deliberately seeks to avoid this label.

Many ROMhacks are designed with the focus primarily - and often solely - on the difficulty, whereas Brave New World's main focus is on the characters and mechanics. The design philosophy is that the fun of games such as this is the development of your characters and the choices the player makes in doing so, and the purpose of the difficulty is simply a means to an end: an incentive to develop your characters to overcome a challenge that simply wasn't there in the original game.

I disagree with (X) aspect of the mod's design and think it should be changed.

Tell us. Much of Brave New World's development over the last several years has been the direct result of player feedback, and we take all feedback - constructive or otherwise - into consideration whether or not we agree with it.

How can I contribute/give back to the authors of this mod?

Honestly, the greatest thing that has come out of this project is the absolutely amazing community that has grown around it. Simply being a part of it gives back far much more than we can possibly explain and is all we'd ever ask of anyone. If you liked Brave New World, please feel free to stick around any maybe try out some of the other mods hosted here.
