RPG PROGRAMMING PITFALLS #1: STAT SYSTEM

Posted on August 14, 2023 by admin

Roleplaying games are complex systems almost by definition and certainly not a
genre you would generally recommend for someone who is only starting on their
path to becoming a game programmer. There are plenty of ways you can shoot
yourself in the foot by making unsound architectural choices that impede the
project from the beginning….

IS IT HARD TO MAKE AN RPG?

Posted on February 16, 2023February 16, 2023 by admin

This is a question many a would-be developer asks, and many more established
ones too. After all, RPGs, i.e. roleplaying games, are known to be huge, complex
beasts not unlike their famous boss monsters. Even so, they have existed even in
the digital space back when computers barely had enough memory to store your
D&D…

FOUR AXES OF RPG DESIGN

Posted on January 30, 2023January 30, 2023 by admin

What makes a good RPG? It’s a simple question, but not one with a
straightforward answer. Having designed several roleplaying games, I tackle the
issue by dividing the design into four distinct axes. This article began as an
answer to a multifaceted yet straightforward question: what makes a good
roleplaying game? I have worked with…

at the second game, Trulon: The Shadow Engine and the lessons learned from its
design, including designing randomness, the core loop and handling player
feedback. This is the second part of the article detailing the battle system

BUILDING AN RPG BATTLE SYSTEM – PART 1

Posted on January 30, 2023January 30, 2023 by admin

This is an in-depth look into designing a battle system for a roleplaying game.
Using two games I’ve designed as an example, the article dives into the process
and particulars of designing a battle system for a digital roleplaying game.
The combat for both Rimelands: Hammer of Thor and Trulon: The Shadow Engine
received a lot…

Help an #indiedev out? My game is getting buried in the #steam #turnbased #rpg fest, so I'd be very grateful if anyone can wishlist and/or download the demo! Boosting is of course welcome too! 

I promise it's a pretty nice game too

Happy Friday! Otherwise known as extremely-early- #screenshotsaturday !!

Showing off the fruits of the last few weeks!  Non-combat interactions are really solid and the contextual UI/UX for them is really slick!  

Here's 3 minutes of fullscreen gameplay picking up items, opening doors, and then fighting some ogres!

Have a great weekend!

@wvygames @Exilian 

Ohh, good luck for launch! Lovely EGA art!

 Random Potion on 9/28/2024, 2:42:28 PM 

@Exilian 

It’s a light-hearted turn-based RPG adventure about four heroines who are tasked to save the world (again), but would very much prefer a hot bath instead. It’s a story-driven game with a generous helping of fourth wall-breaking humour, cute (and some less cute) animal characters, covered in no-hostages-taken girl power attitude.

Well, just that Ignis Universia: Spa of Destiny will be part of the Steam Turn-Based Fest starting on Monday and the demo is already up!

Hey, #screenshotsaturday! 

Are you ready to play the demo for Ignis Universia: Spa of Destiny?

Just saying, because now you can beat the rush before we take part in #Steam Turn-Based Fest!

It IS an excellent opportunity to get to say "oh that game? I played it way before it was cool!"

... and OF COURSE I forgot the Steam page link AGAIN

Alright, something dead simple for this #screenshotsaturday: the monastery that is the base of operations for the Chosen Sisters and its various sublocations.

(also: praise Sniffla Daggerteeth, the Goddess of Rats, Queen of the Sewers, Liberator of Cakes, who will be eternally happy and bestow the blessing of the rodents on you, if you wishlist her game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1545500/Ignis_Universia_Spa_of_Destiny/)

Oh, crap. Almost forgot it's #wishlistwednesday

Since I don't have any new videos or pics prepared (see you on Saturday, though!), I'll just say: if you happen to like turn-based RPGs with emphasis on story and characters, cute things and what they used to call "witty banter" back when you had to wait for a week to see the next episode of Buffy on TV, check out our game:

I just wanted to share this scene change effect. Not because it's groundbreaking or anything, but because I spent a lot of time banging my head against the wall the other day and not achieving anything worthwhile - and today, it just came together completely painlessly. Also, the easing was a lucky first pick!

Hello again, #ScreenshotSaturday! Here, we see the main character of my #GameBoy game, Taiyaki Fabulous Museum of Fish, walking into a strange room. 

In #TaiFab, solving #picross (#nonogram) puzzles enables you to explore Fishcross Island and find out what's going on in these weird nooks and crannies. I hope you'll all enjoy my silly little puzzle adventure when it comes out next month!
