In an effort to improve our coverage of indie projects, we thought we'd do a periodic roundup that ranges a little further than our current database entries. Here's the first one:
- NMA recently revealed The Omega Project, a "classic RPG" project very early in development - more details can be found in this thread.
- Hanako Games dropped us a line about Cute Knight:
A casual, girl-friendly, anime-themed RPG in the style of Princess Maker with easy-to-understand gameplay, randomly-generated dungeons, treasures, and events, and over fifty endings to discover. Low stress (great for coffee breaks) and extremely replayable.
It's easy to get started - even the little ones can try - but solving the mystery of your identity, mastering the magic and crafting systems, and truly beating the game requires a true RPG fanatic!
See the webpage for more information and a demo to download! We don't normally do much with anime stuff but the 50 endings sounds interesting.
- Octopus Overlords has a new feature called "Ask the Indies" on their forums. Head here for Derek from Stormcloud (Voyager, Arcadia Project) and here for Armagan from Taleworlds (Mount&Blade).
- [Turn-based Strategy] The Battle for Wesnoth recently reached v1.0. It's an open-source fantasy-themed TBS that's definitely worth a look:
Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir, or use your dread power over the Undead to dominate the land of mortals, or lead your glorious Orcish tribe to victory against the humans who dared despoil your lands … Wesnoth has many different sagas waiting to be played out. You can create your own custom units, and write your own scenarios – or even full-blown campaigns. You can also challenge your friends – or strangers – and fight multi-player epic fantasy battles.
- [Turn-based Strategy] Another fantasy-themed TBS, Shrapnel Games recently released Land of Legends
- [Roguelikes] v.102 of the mecha roguelike GearHead 2 was released a few weeks ago
- [Roguelikes] Fantasy graphical roguelike with a 20 min playtime, Lost Labyrinth, recently hit v4.012a .
