O.O Holy cow! That's a ton of weapons! In regards to the save game protection, I think I'd put some sort of checksum or something in to help discourage cheating. There will always be those that will try. :/
Yeah I've decided to implement checksum, and also check for random seed value and stuff.

Also, keep in mind that the weapons I've listed are only the base weapons. For each weapon, there is a possibility that upto 2 randomized enchantments can be placed (there are so far over 50 different enchantments) so virtually no items should be same

It's miraculous how you could fit that into 24KB of RAM!
Due to dissatisfaction, I will be inactive on Omnimaga until further notice. (?? THP hasn't been much success and there's also the CE. I might possibly be here for a while.)
If you want to implore me to come back, or otherwise contact me, I can be found on GitHub (bluebear94), Twitter (@melranosF_), Reddit (/u/Fluffy8x), or e-mail (if you know my address). As a last resort, send me a PM on Cemetech (bluebear94) or join Touhou Prono (don't be fooled by the name). I've also enabled notifications for PMs on Omnimaga, but I don't advise using that since I might be banned.

I'm using A LOT more than 24KB of RAM. I'm using small asm program that copies archived programs into temp programs and run the temp programs. If you played Illusiat 13, that's exactly what I'm doing :)

I'm planning to make a new language for this :P
It's called 'Tiran' a form of written language that only 'high' classes use. There's also a language called 'Kaziran' which is a 'low' language that all people use to speak. Kaziran will be same as English, while for Tiran, I'm making new alphabets for them, and will make up some simple words and stuff. The way that this new alphabet will be displayed is through horizontal text spriting :)

I got this concept from reading a wikipedia article on Diglossia. pretty interesting stuff

For the storyline, I'm gonna write an IF (interactive Fiction) game, so I can see how the whole non-linear storyline works out and if they make sense. I'll probably release this once I'm done.
This will let you pretty much play through the TLM as a text-based RPG without battles.

Hmm.. sounds interesting. Non-linearity makes for a more interesting game IMHO, but it definitely requires more planning from a development standpoint.

yes. I've been trying to figure out how to organize the nonlinear storyline, and seemed like making an IF is best way to do so. I'm writing it with Inform 7.

Game design update:

Time:
I've implemented 'Time' in this game. This is arbitrary game time, not the Real Time, so it won't use the Time commands that only Ti-84 series have, so it's still compatible with TI-83+ series. Instead, what happens is that majority of events/actions that you do adds some value to a Time variable. For example (purely example) moving from one room to another takes 1 minute to do so, while sleeping in an Inn takes 7 hours.

Many of the quests will have time limits and some quests will only start if you start the quest in time. If you miss the quest (either by accident or on purpose) usually there will be alternative quest(s) for you to do, and all of these choices will affect the kind of ending you will have (so far I have planned 6 different endings. Again, subject to change).

Character Points:
Character points are a kind of resource that is mainly used for crafting (an effective way for resource sink).
The ways that character can earn character points are:
-Finishing quests in the game.
-Betting character points in pvp and winner taking it.
-Spending gold to enter Endless Arena (survival mode) and earning character points depending on the score.

Hardcore mode:

With this mode, if you happen to die while playing the game (excluding endless arena or pvp), save list will be erased. However, completing the whole game in Hardcore mode will give you more character points, so there is some sort of reward for playing through the hardcore mode.

All of these are only conceptual so far, and has not been implemented in codes yet, so no promise is given.

But which one of these designs are you most excited about? Problems that you can think of that can arise from them?
