Please celebrate together with me Lone Wolf Saga 0.95 has just been released! This means, - Caverns of Kalte is finally playable! - The Illustrations for the first 5 books are already included, the DB is downloadable as always from projectaon's site - All the bugs for which I received a report had been solved: this includes, but is not limited to: . Meals do no longer work as healing potion; it is no longer possible to use a meal in order to restore lost Endurance points, nor will it be possible to use Larnuma fruits in that senze: the only meal available for that purpose is in fact Laumspur leaves, together with the various potions found throughout the books . Chainmail and helmet had been fixed to provide Endurance Points bonus (and not Combat Skill bonus) . Section 144 of book 1 now correctly takes away an item from the backpack or a weapon . It is no longer possible to rapidly double click objects in looting windows in order to obtain multiple objects . Capped the gold pouch to 50 golden crowns . Completely fixed Cartwheel, as it was a little messed up . Fixed a bug in the sequence of death/restart game, causing the initial equipment window to be skipped . Fixed the backpack, so now it is different to lose all the backpack objects or to lose the entire backpack; no backpack means no possibility of bringing equipment together with you - Some of the improvements consist of: . long clicking an item in a looting or shopping window brings on a detailed menu of options for that item . of course both little images and bigger images have been added to the books, the bigger ones being even clickable for a full screen view! . after a battle ends, clicking the message does no more close the combat window, but does bring on another button to do so, clearing the view on the history of battle; Furthermore, the final battle message has been enhnaced to better describe how good the battle was . now it is possible to keep an eye on the advancement of the DB download Surely there is somthing more I am forgetting right now  Please, try out Lone Wolf Saga 0.95 and leave me a feedback if you like it GDV |

Hooray! Downloading and installing the new version now. Aah, I've been missing this option when I've been playing. A nice feature. Regards Sam PS you might know me as alvor.sam from my earlier mails. |

For me this software only makes me want to have an Android phone, nice job!
As someone mentioned it is a very good idea to speak to Dave who done this job already but on another plattform, he can probably give you tons of advice.

Thanks GDV, this is fantastic. I do have a couple of things to say. First, how do you use the safe keeping option. I have rolled a fairly low EP score but I got the helmet in the first book and would like to choose the chainmail in the second book to boost my EP, but obviously I want to choose the chainmail (and shield) in the second book and put the chainmail in safe keeping so I can use it later to boost my EP. I must admit I have a bit of a hoarder gene in my make up and rather than just throwing stuff away I would like to keep it stored. I would suggest there would be the Kings armourer that would store my stuff till I can organise a real place for a more permanent storage place. I would also like to bring to your attention a small problem that has popped up with my smart phone with playing the game. When I am away from home I block the online features of my phone to save money, but if I check for updates on my phone (without thinking of course) an error message pops up to say it can't access the internet to find out. That is fine, but it keeps popping up repeatedly every few seconds or so till I stop the program and start it up again. A third thing... sorry to be a pain, but remember when I mentioned the error with the fight against the Gourgaz to rescue Prince Pelethar and I mentioned it said pince peletars sword. You corrected the prince, but I think you might be an h short in Pelethar. Sorry to be such a fussy bggr, you have done a fantastic job, I really am enjoying going back through these games again, and with the pictures it is even better. Another idea/request I have is that perhaps you might add a character editor to change the characteristics of a created character. Now this might be very controversial, and go against the spirit of the game in the eyes of some, but I always thought that there was a reason Lone Wolf survived and won in combat that was more than his application of Kai disciplines at the right time. I often played the games without rolling initial scores for Lone Wolf because I assumed he was a hero and therefore had a 19CS and 29EP automatically... I sort don't believe in luck as such. I think if it is a separate program then users can decide to use it or not. I am currently playing the books on a 7in tablet and it is much easier to read and navigate than my phone.. |

To be honest the main reason I want a character editor is because I created a character with a good score (19CS and 29EP) and I got him right through to the start of the Caverns of Kalte book before I noticed that it was Gazgus instead of Gazguz.
But being able to edit the character would be nice.

Hi Gazguz, I will add the options to rename a profile, this is not abig problem I will not however add the possibility to modify the rolled statistics,while I could try and think of a way to remove already acquired Kai Disciplines (more specifically, I am thinking it should be possible to remove the last chosen Discipline in order to replay the last unlocked book with a different Discipline choice).... I will have to think about this last option I will check the background checking service and see what is wrong with it continually trying to access the net And sooner or later I will be able to correctly spell "Prince Pelathar" once and for all  Lastly, objects' safekeeping at the monastery will be available starting from the beginning of book 5 (Correct me if I am wrong, but I think to remember that the beginning of book 5 is the first time that safekeeping is mentioned in Lone Wolf books) Thanks again for your interest and for playing the game and signalling me the bugs you have found GDV |

You are probably now much more familiar with the early books than I am, but I remember having to "leave gold coins behind" starting from book three simply because I knew gold coins would not be much use in Kalte. The guy has to rebuild a monestary at some stage... does he really have to spend the first 5 books with only 2 weapons and a max of 50 gcs? After all no man is an island... and even if some people find it is not acceptable just by making storage available doesn't mean they have to use it if it offends their sense of canon. I remember finding another bug BTW.. suppose I should use a spoiler option for this: When you just enter the fortress in Kalte and you open the door and find the bag filled with potions I have noticed that the Gallowbrush (green) potion has the option for recognition that you are a specific rank to be able to identify it. When creating a new character there is no problem, but when playing as a previously saved character it doesn't seem to recognise your rank and the option is grayed out.Note because you have designed the software so you have to play the eariler books to play the later books then that option should always be available as you will always have that rank to be able to read that story in the first place. Anyway, thanks for your hard work, it is very much appreciated. |

BTW I guess I am already cheating... when I started the first book I chose weaponskill and got weaponskill in the Spear. I of course wanted weaponskill in either short sword, sword, or broadsword because swords are common and the sommerswerd is a regular companion so it makes sense to have weaponskill with that, so I unselected the weaponskill and chose a different discipline. When I started the second book I chose weaponskill again and got short sword, which I kept, but I could easily have kept doing that through the books till I got what I wanted. If, when you restart a book, you restart everything and get to choose a new discipline it would be possible to... shall we say... have more choice... I still think being able to properly restart a book with new choices for kit, and new disciplines is fair even if it can be misused. Restarting is restarting so you should be able to make all your choices again IMHO. You might have noticed I am not an extreme stickler for the rules... I think they should be open to interpretation sometimes and at the end of the day it should be the player who can decide most things like that... for instance I think a roll of 10CS and 20EP is ridiculous... even though it is supposed to be a 15 year old boy... this is supposed to be the kid that saves the world... Thanks again... looking forward to further books... no pressure. |
