I’ll keep this brief so it’s not too spammy for just one game.<\/p>\n

I’m working with Over00<\/a> (and two lovely artists) to create a game for the October challenge. We’re making an RPG because we’re crazy. Well, my pseudonym is “Psychochild”, so it fits…<\/p>\n

The game’s name is The Fae’s Wyrd<\/i>; fae meaning faerie (fairy) or elfin, wyrd meaning fate or future. It’s also a pun on “the fae is weird”. Over00 challenged me to explain why it’s not a roguelike: it’s not because you’re going to be controlling a party, not a single character. The focus will be more on combat rather than solving neat puzzles, although that might come along in sequels that can be developed over more time.<\/p>\n

This is also the first public project for a my new company, Psychoavatar<\/a>. (I told you we were crazy!) Hopefully this first project won’t kill us. \":)\"<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’ll probably be posting a bit on my game development blog<\/a> as we progress and I’ll post the game up on here when it’s done. Anyway, thanks to the fine folks here for giving a challenge to get us into motion.<\/p>\n \n
