Legacy

Hints & Tips

Future plans

New 3rd party maps and a sequel are on the way!

From Redshift, 23rd June 2004:

"...don't worry, new stuff is on the way... Mr Parks is very busy with the next pack, but - sorry to say - we (the Redshift team) are busy now with the N-Gage and Nokia 3650 versions of Legacy... (If we finish this, maybe we can make low-resolution versions for palm os4 devices too.)

"But if you want to make an own pack, or just test other dudes' maps during the editing, write to Stewe, and ask for rights into the Editor group.

"ps: we'll start a totally new game during this summer. (Maybe with the help of an extended Legacy engine.)"

"...I PROMISE we will release new maps during this summer - but not our own maps, I'm afraid... Yeah, we will make a totally new game, or a sequel for Legacy - we just collect the ideas now, you know, it's summer, it's vacation time. "


Previous (fulfilled!) plans

- ranged weapons are planned, the forthcoming Mission Pack (what continues the storyline and contains the World Creator) will feature bows and arrows, as well as new spells, creatures, graphics, maps and many more

- Ah, and other thing what helps to the cleric in the future is a ranged weapon (bow & arrow) in his/her hand! We'll include it in the forthcoming mission pack. Because clerics have more chance to improve their "combat attributes", they can be cool to do that, right?

- stackable items, eg 10-potions-to-1 slot: the "stack items" function is a hard one (many possibility of bugs, hard testing needed), I think Legacy 1.04 will not feature this - but the later versions - like the mission pack - yes.

- deactivating floor switches

- rechargeable items

- The forthcoming expansion pack will continue the storyline - yes, what you choose in the end ("blue pill or red pill" ), will modify your adventures in the expansion pack.

- You better wait until the Legacy exp. pack, with that we'll release the World Creator with a full manual and some "example" maps to show every function of the Legacy engine. After that, I think you never will be unsatisfied. Everyone can make complete missions, and we'll put them to our Legacy page.

- male Battlemage

- Side quests: of course! There will be many. In the next month (february) we'll release the Offical Mission Pack to continue the storyline, with new graphics, monsters, maps, items, spells, etc. (this will cost below $10), and then the World Creator (for free), to let everyone make his own missions. And of course we also will make some small side quests (for free) and put them on our site. The first will be the Arena. This one will be released with Legacy 1.04, I think, on the next week.
