So, internet... it has been a while. Starting to get settled in at the new job, and am putting the last bit of polish on my Final Fantasy Tactics Romhack. However, before I dive back into that
FFT Let's Play, I wanted to find some time to play/stream something with you guys.
...how about some
Phantasy Star: Blue Burst?
It's a sci-fi multiplayer adventure RPG that, despite having been dropped from the official Sega servers almost a decade ago, is now free to play on the PC via fan-run servers. It's a fun little game with puzzles, quests, and active combat -- and despite its age and low hardware requirements, is quite pretty! I figured it could be fun to run through a few Episodes of the game on the Livestream, with some of you guys tagging along if you'd care to; it's kinda like Borderlands in that you can play through solo, or with up to 3 buddies in your party. It'll be a few days until I'm set up to stream again, but if you think you might be interested in playing along, and want to check out the game first, getting set up is pretty straightforward:
Game Setup:Step 1:
Register for SCHTHACK ServerStep 2:
Download Installer (
Alternative DL Mirror)
Step 3: Install. Then run via "Online.exe" (tweak settings in "SHOption.exe")
