Dr. Horrible – The 8-Bit Video Game

Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 7, 2010

It’s just… wrong. In a cool way. Though I imagine Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion might get a kick out of seeing themselves rendered as characters in an NES game. Okay, so I wouldn’t expect to see this as an actual playable game anytime soon. But it’s cool. And if you have absolutely no […]

Ron Gilbert Leaves Hothead

Posted by Rampant Coyote on

DeathSpank is practically done, but Ron Gilbert has announced that he’s left Hothead Games.  Conjecture as to why he has done this is pretty much useless as it could be anything. The sad part for me – as I kinda follow what he’s been doing – is realizing that this entire phase of his career […]

I am a genius.  This inventory system is a model of efficiency and utility – elegant yet flexible.  Years of software development experience distilled into the architecture of a subsystem that I can be truly proud of.

Still dealing with a back-log of indie games here. I won’t be doing one-a-day anymore, but I’m still going to have a lot of ’em that I want to make sure you are aware of. It’s kinda funny to me how indie RPGs were all but non-existent when I started Rampant Games. You had Spiderweb’s […]

Game Announcement: Vastar

Posted by Rampant Coyote on

Well, if I count the “week” as only a work-week, then today’s my final commitment to adding a game each day to the Rampant Games store. But I still have a backlog, so I will be continuing to add more games through next week. Just maybe not at the same pace. It’s taken its toll. […]
