New Game Added: Frayed Knights: The Skull of S’makh-Daon

Frayed Knights: The Skull of S’makh-Daon is a 3D indie computer RPG for Windows featuring turn-based combat, old-school sensibilities, and a story of high adventure and comedy. Who says RPGs have to be so serious?

In a world of jaded heroes and veteran adventurers, you play a team of misfits: Arianna, a dainty warrior with an attitude problem; Dirk, an adrenaline-junky rogue who doesn’t seem to understand the word ‘subtle;’ Benjamin, a nature-priest and an ill-suited newcomer to the adventuring lifestyle, and Chloe, a ditsy sorceress with a love of cute, fuzzy animals and setting her enemies on fire.

Adventuring is always a dangerous profession, but recently things have gotten bad. Very bad. Teams of expert fortune-hunters are getting “morted,” suffering great losses against enemies that are better prepared than ever. In the taverns and Adventurer’s Guildhalls, whispered rumors speak of the return of an evil that once all but destroyed civilization. But as many great and famous adventurers fall to this growing threat, perhaps this bunch of losers – called “The Frayed Knights” (but never to their faces) – might just be the heroes the world really needs:

The wrong people at the wrong time.

New Game Being Developed

August 29th, 2011 by MuffinMan Ken

I started working on a new game recently. Now that I’m a full-time indie developer I need to get my ass in gear and start producing something to help pay the rent. I don’t have a proper name for it, so I will call it “Wizardy Game”. Yes, that’s an awful name, but that’s okay since I won’t be keeping it.

It’s a single-player, fantasy-themed 4X game.  If I had to choose a single existing game to convey the idea, I’d choose Master of Magic.  My goal is not to re-create MoM though. I’m not even aiming for a “spiritual successor”. I want to make a game that mixes together a lot of things I like and (hopefully) adds something new.

I don’t have much to share yet, but here are 3 goals from the design document:

  1. Minimize micro-management, which is a problem in most 4X games
  2. Take some inspiration from rogue-likes: Losing isn’t something to dread; it’s just the signal for the next attempt
  3. Related to points 1 & 2: Much shorter game length than a typical 4X.

Small Fun Farkle

Small Fun Farkle is an addictive, easy to learn dice game for 1 to 8 players (human and/or customizable computer players) similar to the popular dice games "Ten Thousand" and "Press Your Luck." The separated score pad keeps the user interface uncluttered.

The game supports from one to eight players – any of which can be human or customizable computer opponents (Normal, Cautious, Fearless, Simple, or Random, Genius, or Moron). You can even set up an all computer match (don’t worry, the computer won’t blow up like in the movie "War Games"). If you have a favourite game setup, you can save it as the default.

Players can control the look and feel of the game by selecting the background pictures, dice styles, and sounds. You can even add your own backgrounds! Also available are options that help beginners learn to play and make game play easier for more experienced players.
