Frayed Knights Subtitles

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 16, 2010

Okay, this is a goofy little poll, but for those of you who might be interested, I’m, like, polling. Which is like asking for advice. Except I’ll probably disregard it and do whatever I want to anyway. But right now, I’m not sure what I want to do, so … I poll. So here’s the […]

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: Scott Pilgim Wins!

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 15, 2010

I knew nothing of this film until two days ago. So “Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World” was a total surprise to me. But I’m in love, now… This is one hell of a weird movie, but it totally rocked. Starting with the Universal logo rendered as an 8-bit video game image accompanied by the theme […]

A Poor Craftsman Blames His Tools…

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 13, 2010

… But I never claimed to be a good craftsman. One of the advantages of using “mature” technology is that it is SUPPOSED to have fewer bugs than the new stuff, right? Fewer bugs, fewer compatibility problems, fewer unimplemented features planned for a future release, etc. But when I end up spending half my time […]

Indie Funding – And What Comes First

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 12, 2010

I’ve been meaning to post and comment on this for a while. Brian “Psychochild” Green has an excellent article on all the different ways you can fund indie game development. Aspiring indies, take note. Psychochild on Indie Funding I think it’s a pretty exhaustive list, actually, with all kinds of weird options covered within broader […]

Age of Decadence Entering Final Stretch

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 11, 2010

This is awesome news. I mean, Age of Decadence has been in development far longer than Frayed Knights (but it sounds like it’s a larger game). It’s still got a ways to go. But this is exciting news indeed.

HPOA = Highly Productive Office Assistant?

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 10, 2010

Yeah, this has been like – everywhere today. I got no less than five links to it this afternoon. You probably did too. But hey, in case you didn’t, I’ll share. This is just too awesome. And it’s even game related! Farmville is mentioned! Girl Quits Job With a Bang (and a Dry Erase Board) […]

A Quick Revisit to Serpent Isle

Posted by Rampant Coyote on

I  try to devote a certain amount of time each week to playing RPGs. Yeah, it’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it *g*. I do it to keep myself grounded in what’s out there, what the classics have done, what’s new, what the indies are doing, and to keep my mind working on […]

Molyneux sez: “Enjoy It While You Can, Indies! We’re Taking Over Soon!”

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 9, 2010

Peter Molyneux warns that indies are living on borrowed time, and their opportunity to thrive on certain platforms – notably the iPhone and Android – will soon come to an end under the domination of a major publisher. Molyneux: Indie Havens on Borrowed Time A couple of choice quotes: “We are just one or two […]

Eternal Twilight Price Reduction

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 8, 2010

Cheap entertainment just got cheaper. Oliveair Games’ Eternal Twilight is now only $10.99. I guess with the savings you can buy a bag of chips to go with it. Though the game will probably still last longer. Check out Eternal Twilight here!

Frayed Knights – Is the Light at the End of the Tunnel an Oncoming Dragon?

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 6, 2010

While the saga of Frayed Knights’ development isn’t even close to an end, we’re staring down the throat of a milestone. That counts for something, right? If Frayed Knights was a house, this would be the point where the foundation is long complete, the house is framed, the exterior walls are up, the wiring and […]

The Game That Wasn’t There

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 5, 2010

Joel Haddock has a “hankering lately to play a game that doesn’t exist … (s)pecifically, a Western RPG as they used to be.” Strange, for an indie game developer, that he doesn’t look amongst the indie RPG releases to discover that what he wants really does exist, after all. But we’ll forgive him that mistake […]

Adventure Game Histories

Posted by Rampant Coyote on

For those who are fans of the written word, the long-awaited documentary, Get Lamp, has finally been released. A two-DVD set is […]

Torchlight 2?

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 4, 2010

Hat tip to RPGWatch for this one – Torchlight II Announced Huh. I thought they were going straight into MMO-land with this. But they are saying Torchlight II will include peer-to-peer matchmaking. That’s kind of an unusual MMO strategy. Or maybe they realized an MMO would take a lot more time than they anticipated, and […]

Game PR: Indie Versus Mainstream

Posted by Rampant Coyote on

Brian Mitsoda recently penned a design update for Doublebear’s upcoming “Zombie RPG” entitled, “To Here Knows When.” I think the title is completely lost on me, but the subject is terribly familiar (especially as my “quickie” game is going into its fourth year of development – ouch, that hurts…) Now, people have a very good […]
