Some Words from the Community

Every month, we'll spotlight some comments from the readers regarding the previous month's issues. Here's what our readers have to say about Volume 16.

"Thanks to Meatballsub for the CoV review. It took me by surprise because I was pretty sure no one had reviewed it. It was as good of a review as I could ask for, on top of that.

One note on the review: the spelling mistake in question is probably "I AM VERY SCARRED," displayed when you rescue the girl. I mistyped it but decided to leave it in. I think it's the only spelling mistake, but there are also numerous punctuation mistakes and style/phrasing oddities. This is of course to mimic games of the period.

In conclusion: I EAT BUGS

"The Vikings update review has been very instrumental in further polishing the game and nailing down a number of remaining bugs. Not only have the heroes been given initial equipment, each one now comes with a tome that outright tells you what they can equip, and even gives unique art. Hopefully this will finally put to rest any issues about what heroes can and cannot equip. About half of the listed bugs in the review have also been fixed, though I'm still working on the beds. Truthfully, the inns are only there because RPGs have inns. Glad you liked a certain boss too. Who knows how it'll end. We'll see what happens in the next six months.

My favorite comic this month was probably RMZ's because of the button, and for that fact that Kyle's Defender sword is too heavy for the elves/gnomes to carry. Also, Jo'z h33r.
