Hey there, Tigs!  I thought I'd stop lurking and announce my next game:


This is a console-style RPG, being released on Windows/Mac/Linux and at least one other platform to be announced soon.

It's a re-imagining of the VERGE RPG engine (http://verge-rpg.com)'s pack-in game, The Sully Chronicles, originally made in 1997!  I'm old.

If you want to play the original (not necessary to enjoy the new one, has old art, is mildly amusing) you can get them here: (for Windows) (http://verge-rpg.com/downloads/the-sully-chronicles-simple-edition-2) (for Mac) (http://verge-rpg.com/downloads/the-sully-chronicles-simple-edition-mac).

We're about 30% complete with the game right now and I quit my day job to go full time on it.  We're looking for a midsummer release right now, and to buck the "RPGs are impossible to make" trend.  

Awesome, this is looking really cool Ben! Looking forward to seeing more of this :beer:

This looks sweet! Show us more soon! ;)

This really does look and sound great! I miss real RPG's so much since they vanished from the earth so this makes me happy!

Those jellies

are excellent haha

I can't handle the seriousness. IT'S TOO MUCH GRANDE!

Looks Super rad!
Can't wait!

When I saw the title I was :D

and when I clicked I was not disappoint.  Looking forward to it, sir.

Is there a "nibble" attack?  :handforkL: :whome: :handknifeR:

This looks great! I hope to throw off that "RPGs are impossible to make" trend as well!


Sorry to be off topic, but uh... your avatar is making google chrome warn me about malware that might be on the page.

@Ardbob

oh, its linked from conceptart.org, went there to check and got warned myself...
I'll take the link away asap... thanks

Great graphics and style you're making. Game's looking unique, for sure.

From the bit of this that I've played (and watched you play), I'd recommend trying to find someone with experience writing humor to vet your script. Not to imply the writing is bad or anything, but I did feel like all the characters delivered their lines in a similar manner. I think you could characterize them more so they don't feel like they are all written by the same person, particularly in each one's style of humor.

Concerning "uniqueness of style":
- The on-map sprites are heavily inspired by Phantasy Star's style. 
- The map tiles are more a melange of everything I know and love (and a few of my tilesets are ancient ones from Blue Star and Spram of the old VERGE-RPG days).
- The battle art is the most unique, done by Bryan Rathman.  He's been a long time compatriot of mine, and was the primary sprite animator of Dungeons of Dredmor (http://store.steampowered.com/app/98800/).

Hey Chris!

Yeah, I have two writing editors on tap for comedy, and a few people I'm going to hit up for tone afterwards.  Anyone who plays an alpha in the next 30 days is getting an unrefined version.
