So hey! Vay has been remade and re-released!

On Iphone/Itouch, that is. You can find it in the Itunes app store.

http://www.somoga.com/games/vay/

Seems a small company essentially took the licensing rights and reworked some of the battle graphics, redubbed the cut scenes, etc etc. In other words, it's a cross between a port and remake, based on the pictures I've been seeing.

It was certainly a shock to see this! Thoughts? Anyone actually able to download and play it?

Looking for Lunar: SSSC standee (Counter card)!

Hey there. I thought I had a complete set of WD Counter cards, but somewhere I noticed that there was one for Lunar: SSSC. Anyone have a spare? Also looking for a Nall doll.

In case you're not sure what i'm talking about, A Counter card is just a small standee that well... sits on a counter.

And in case anyone is wondering what ones are out there, I own one for Lunar: EBC, Growlanser Generations and Arc The Lad Collection.

Thanks!

New Working Designs Message Board

Hey WD LJ Community (assuming anyone's still here ^^)

Since the sad day of WD closing it's doors, I (Nobiyuki77) and Gorget The Frog have taken it upon ourselves to create a new Working Designs Message Board. The board is welcome to all former WDMB members as well as newcomers who are fans of WD's previous work, or just RPG fans in general. The URL can be found here.

http://www.workingdesignsmb.com/fo…

Hope to see you there. ^^

Want Both Lunar Games?

Hi folks! I hate to make my first post into such a wonderful community be an eBay spamvertisement, but I think that it might be of some small amount of interest to folks. Please forgive me if it's not allowed and I'll delete if desired.

However, I'm in serious trouble here! I'd never even think of parting with my copies of SSSC and Eternal Blue Complete, but unfortunately being unemployed means you have to make some sacrifices. (Side note: Life would be so much easier if I could go out and kill small monsters for silver pieces... but certainly not cats, flying or otherwise.) So, as you may have guessed, I'm selling both of my games in one big package. I know I could probably get more by selling them separately, but then again it saves on shipping this way-- and I can toss in the pre-order bug-laden demo disc, too. So:

Please have a look! While it says that I'll only add the demo disc if the bids go over $75, I'll add it to any winner who makes a comment to this entry.

Thanks!

    Working Designs... officially dead. =(

    That's right. Sadly, it's the end of a f*cking era. Working designs did their best to provide us with the best Japanese RPG's on the market. Not only did they bring us those RPG's, but they did it with the care that not most companies do. Working Designs always gave us awesome bonus' with their games. From soundtracks to the nice little Omake Box that came with Lunar 2 packed with goodies. If it wasn't for Working Designs, I never would have played some of the games that had a huge impact on my life. The Lunar series to this day is my favorite RPG series of all time. But, let's not forget classics like Popful Mail and Vay. Amazing games. I really don't know what else to say. I am still in shock. So I guess I'll just leave it at this. There will never be another WD. There will never be another company that will deliver the things that WD delivered. No company will ever be able to capture that magic. Working Desgins.... your games truly did go to 11.

    Vic does say some great things in his post. Read on.

    Official Announcement by Vic Ireland

    Let me know what you think. I wanna say I am sad, but I am happy I was given the chance to watch WD grow since the beginning. Ah screw it... I'm sad! =.(

    (no subject)

    For all you Dragon Force fans, rumour has it that WD is going to publish the Sega Ages 2500 version of DF in the US. I think it's scheduled to release in Japan by the end of 2004, so WD would probably officially announce its plans soon if it had any. I can't wait to see it at E3 for the next seven consecutive years, and can wait even less for 2048 when it finally hits shelves.

    My only gripe, albeit a big one, with WD's work is the raping and pillaging of a game I hold very dearly, Silhouette Mirage. I have always appreciated WD's unique brand of localization, but am totally against the drastic and fatal gameplay changes made to this originally incredible title. Mirage aside, I have nothing but love for the small-but-strong publishing house and will continue to support WD's outstanding work.

    -rich.

    PS - The Lucia pendant is arguably the best (American) game pack-in of all time.

    OMG.. I thought WD was dead

    Hey All.

    I can't believe I randomly stumbled upon this!! I found this through rpggoddess' userinfo (which I got through the anime community).

    I always thought that I was the only person who even knew about Working Designs! Out of my friends, only one of them (who is probably the only person I know that has played more video games than I have) has even mentioned ANY of WDs games!

    I just want to say that I've played over 100 RPGs, mainly console RPGs between 1990 and 2000, including many rare ones, but Lunar is one of the very, very few RPGs I have played more than once. I played Lunar 1 completely four times (only found out that there are treasures hidden behind buildings the fourth time I played), Lunar Eternal Blue only once (didn't like it as much), Vay probably about three times and Popful Mail a couple of times also.. I never play games more than once.

    As a true RPG addict, and as a programmer hoping to one day land a job making games, I must say that the Lunar series is the best (in my opinion) series from a game design point. The characters are all very diverse and regulalry upgrade (Mia's never-ending list of spells, Alex's gain of dragon abilities); sadly most RPGs today don't realize that it is imperative to change your characters' abilities to provide new experiences while you're playing the game to avoid monotiny. The story had some interesting twists without being overly complex (see FFTactics for too complex). The graphics were ahead of its time, and voice is always cool. The music is absolutely amazing.. the march song played when you enter the new continent (after you get Kyle) was one of the first songs I downloaded when I had the Internet. I'm only disappointed at how much they great RPG got butchered when it was ported over to PS1.

    Right now I'm finishing Arc The Lad 2.. absolutely amazing again. I love it. The convert option is great (also done with Suikoden and a few other series.. Quest For Glory for PC..) and I love that the enemies go past level 99!

    Anyways, that's it for now, I hope one day WD can get the popularity they deserve, and don't succumb to the current trend in RPGs to become graphics oriented at the expense of game play.
