]]> 14 May 2008 05:39:05 Progress Quest is a next generation computer role-playing game. Gamers who have played modern online role-playing games, or almost any computer role-playing game, or who have at any time installed or upgraded their operating system, will find themselves incredibly comfortable with Progress Quest's very familiar gameplay.

Progress Quest follows reverently in the footsteps of recent smash hit online worlds, but is careful to streamline the more tedious aspects of those offerings. Players will still have the satisfaction of building their character from a ninety-pound level 1 teenager, to an incredibly puissant, magically imbued warrior, well able to snuff out the lives of a barnload of bugbears without need of so much as a lunch break. Yet, gone are the tedious micromanagement and other frustrations common to that older generation of RPG's.

]]> 26 Jun 2007 12:02:47 The Fox and the Eight-Six is an Ohrrpgce game by Charbile and Hachi-Roku, and it's based on the fables of Aesop. It's an overhead adventure game involving a series of puzzles. Solve the game!

Special note: "BE GENTLE on the menu script - holding down the up/down arrow keys floods the script beyond it's capabilities, and there's not much we can do about it. TAP the arrows and you should be fine."

]]> 11 Jun 2007 07:58:04 Galanz is a project I've been brainstorming over for quite some time now, it involves a Space Mercenary who is drawn to a planet by a disturbing message that has reached him (sound familiar?). Once he arrives, he sees that all traces of the natives have disapeared, the only things that inhabit the planet are strange monsters and the Robots created by the Natives. Galanz (The Main character in the game) goes out searching for any survivors, or clues to what has happened. Using his weaponry and his Psychic Abilities, he traverses the planet in order to discover just what is going on.

Influences are highly based on classics such as Metroid, Turrican, and the Andro-Synth sub-plot present in Star Control 2/Ur-Quan Masters.

The goal of the game is to basically find out what's going on. The "Galious" style gameplay is a reference to Knightmare 2: Maze of Galious, which was one of THE first Side Scrolling RPGs, complete with leveling and such. Of course, I'd like to go a little bit into more detail with this than what Galious did.

Since it's set to be like a NES game, there will be a restriction on the total buttons able to use, the current format it (in NES Controller format):

A - Shoot
B - Jump
Directional Pad - Move Left and Right, Aim Up and Down.
Start - Main Menu
Select - Use Psychic Ability

Psychic abilities won't be the usual "Fire Firebolt for X amount of P.P" but instead will be closer to actually changing the environment.

Can't jump over a huge wall? Flip gravity around. Can't toggle a switch? Go into E.S.P mode and flip it using your abilities. Oh snap, need to get the password, and the guy who might of had it is dead? Do a Mind Search on him, and find out his memories shortly before he met the wrong end of your gun.

This is the sorta thing I'm aiming for with this, not extremely complicated (mind sceens could just be cutsceens, and gravity for an object can easily be reversed), but fun and useful enough to warrant use.

However, I don't believe I can do this all by my own. As a Sprite/Traditional Artist or Designer, I will not be able to produce content fast enough alone, and coding is far from my strongest point. These are the current possistions available, if anyone is interested in helping out with this project, please PM me. Thanks for reading :D.

Needed!

Programmer - Average to Skilled Ability: Needs to be able to use Game Maker 6 or such, or another structure of coding that is compatible with Windows.

Music Composer - Average to Skilled ability: Needs to be able to produce catchy tunes that are not 10 second loops in the style of the NES chiptunes.

Sound Effects Engineer- Any skill level: Needs to be able to produce NES style sound effects (The Woosh Woosh noises and such).


I'll update this whenever I can, till then, see you later :D.

Prologue Story
LuckyLupinLiman Studios

"We, the Musahsina beings - Masters of the elements, protectors of the world.
No evil dwells deep within us."

"The humans are becoming aware of their existence. These people are not like us.
Their souls twistable to their personal dark desires.
Their souls susceptible to the torments of their world."

"The apex of our control; the forms of Light and Dark magic.
Sealed within our most treasured relic."

"The Spiritbound Gem, in our hands can do nothing but good.
It grants us our livelihood. Our own creation."

"We have spread to the farthest corners of Essina, our Spiritbound gem locked away.
We are but Wise people in a disturbing world of men.
The few that survived the corrupting of the gem are in hiding.
Wherever they can hide from prying eyes."

"We know not what happens in the world today; nothing but humans being dominant.
I fear if we expose ourselves to them, our very nature will change. Maybe even destroyed."

]]> 06 Feb 2007 08:02:50 Who is Bill? And, why doesn't he want you to go west!? This game was created in less than 48 hours for a contest, and is based on a dream. It uses a multiple choice storytelling format, although there are a few limited RPG-style battles. There are five different discomforting endings.

]]> 31 Jan 2007 04:39:10 It happened during class. Everything started trembling and shaking. An earthquake? You think that's what it was. There wasn't even chance to panic; the floor collapsed, the darkness swallowing you and your classmates.

Purgatory was designed by Orchard-L and made in the Ohrrpgce engine.

]]> 31 Jan 2007 04:16:24 You can feel your knees weaken as you see two soldiers walking to your doorsteps. You watch them anxiously through the window as they grew closer, wishing that it is not as you imagined. You open the door before the soldiers got the chance to knock. You greet them with a nervous glance as if asking for confirmation of your suspicion. One of the soldier doffed his helmet, and your suspicion is confirmed. And then everything goes black.

Boundless Ocean is a short (5-7 hours) console-style RPG with an emphasis on exploration. It was designed by Orchard-L and created in the Ohrrpgce.

]]> 31 Jan 2007 04:00:18 Serenade of Apostasy was inspired by the excellent Legend of Zelda series, especially The Minish Cap and Ocarina of Time, and aims to be a game that builds upon the unique gameplay and story style that the series has. Serenade follows a young man from a small village in a world that is on the edge fo destruction. To keep balance in the world, an alternate dimension exists that provides the opposite of the happiness this world enjoys. But that world has been torn apart as, defying it's own properties, it's king has died. The king's daughter is sent to Terrana to seek a hero who can vanquish the darkness that is spreading over Terrana and unite the two worlds to create a world that is in itself balanced and equal.

against the authority of Marduk the Creator.
Moloch stole from Marduk the most powerful of all
the artifacts of the gods, the Amulet of Yendor,
and he hid it in the dark cavities of Gehennom, the
Under World, where he now lurks, and bides his time.
