Slayers RPG (SFC) [started 3-20-02]
This is an RPG for the SNES based on the Slayers series. This game is unique in that it does not draw on the more familiar anime so much as the Slayers Special novels and manga. It features some new main characters and villains, as well as the old favorites. Character description translations thanks to Eien ni Hen.
12-20-2009 Things are coming along really well on this project. The script is probably over half way through the rewrite and is becoming very playable. For screenshots and more info please check the news/project/and forum pages over at Dynamic Designs.
09-21-2009 Woo-hoo! Some progress to report. The Slayers game is officially being worked on by Bongo and Co. at Dynamic Designs. So far a new VWF routine has been written and is working very well. See the following screenshot for proof!
05-19-2009 By my magnificent powers of rom hacking necromancy I bring this project back to life! Actually it's Bongo who replied to my RHDN help ad almost a year ago that made it possible. I contacted him again recently and he agreed to take a look at the game and see what he can do when he has some time. Yay! As steward of the script I hereby bequeath title of official hacker to Bongo.
04-13-2008This project is in need of technical assistance. As far as I know this project is fairly well along. If you are interested in picking up from Chris' previous work, please get in touch with Sky Render at www.rpgone.net.
Main Characters
- Lina Inverse: Our heroine, Lina Inverse! Her arrogant manner is best reflected in her spell, Dragon Slave! However, she needs to cast Recovery on her chest!! It's not Slayers without Lina Inverse, she is our main character.
- Gourry Gabriev: Gourry is a mercenary with an incredible ability for swordplay and a super technique. When quiet, he's a cool, handsome-looking guy, but when he opens his mouth it's clear that he has less brains than a slime. Gourry is Lina's typical traveling companion when she is not hanging out with Naga.
- Amelia Saillune: Recklessly energetic! Always walking the path of justice! With eyes toward the heavens, a princess with an unwavering world perspective! Amelia appears as a companion on your adventure.
- Zelgadiss Graywords: This is Zelgadis, the magic fencer. His skin was changed to stone, so it's a dark blue color...However, he's not a golem. He continues his aimless journey, looking for a way to regain his human form. Zelgadiss has been seen lurking around many towns you visit.
- Naga the Serpent: She calls herself "Lina's last and most powerful rival." Where does all her self-confidence come from? Perhaps it's stored in her voluptuous breasts. Naga is encountered early in the game.
- Sylphiel Nels Rada: She has glossy black hair. She's a bit simple-minded, but so beautiful that she looks way too good in priest's clothing. This is Sylphiel! I don't know a lot about this, but if the rumor's correct, then it seems she knows a good deal about mushrooms...
- Connie: Is that spear she's carrying just for decoration? She looks like any other warrior, but she really has no merit whatsoever. Don't look to make a warrior out of Connie. A character straight from the novel Slayers Special 1.
- Claire: This is Claire, the apprentice sorceress. She will present accurate reports in order to become a full-fledged mage. It seems she is currently studying Hydras...
- Lemmy: This female fencer has a dangerous, dangerous case of knife-mania. If you take Zenno-kun, her beloved sword, she'll behead you both today and tomorrow! A frightening ally appearing in Slayers Special 3.
- Black Fox: The mysterious, elusive Black Fox's conceited behavior makes him despicable in a cool sort of way. He always gets whatever he's after. He's especially skilled at stealing women's hearts.
Slayers was my first rom hack, but it was not very good. :( For the patch I added about 10K more translated material to Robert Boyd's Slayers translation, including story dialog through the first dungeon and part of the first town. My rom hacking ability is not very good in general, but I work with skilled rom hackers now, so my projects will get done right. ^_^ Here is my old patch Slayers RPG patch. The release of RPGone's much better patch is imminent. ETA is currently who knows.
Please see RPGone's page for the status of the real translation.
