I’ve just received an email from Abel Bascunana of Autoloot Games, Ltd. (a Spanish studio reportedly formed by former employees of Ubisoft, Gameloft and Funcom), announcing their new RPG The Dark Triad. Per the developers, The Dark Triad will be turn-based, isometric, and fully 3D. The game is set to feature 8 character classes, with […]

Teudogar and the Alliance with Rome is an historical RPG in the style of Ultima 6. Created by Wolf Mittag, this game was released way, way back in 2003. This is an old release, folks. The premise is simple: 12 B.C.: By order of Emperor Augustus, Roman legions conquer barbarian Germania. Fight for your tribe’s […]

Despite appearances, it seems Disastercake merely dropped off the internet for a few months, and that development on Soul Saga Episode 1 continued (albeit in silence). In his first blog post in months, developer Michael Gale goes into the problems he experienced working with contract animators: You remember my animator, right?  Well, he quit.  And […]

Lunchtime Studios, a Boston-based indie outfit, has announced a new adventure game/RPG hybrid set in Prohibition-era New York.

The premise: It’s 1925. Prohibition is in […]

Erik Kain, Forbes’s resident games blogger, has posted a nicely written interview with Iron Tower Studio‘s Vince Weller (lead developer on the upcoming wRPG Age of Decadence).

Developed by a small team from Kerberos Productions, The Pit was funded via just shy of $24,000 in contributions on IndieGoGo back in November and (apparently) released about three weeks ago. The premise: A deadly […]

I don’t normally post general interest news stories about games like this, but I think this is legitimately interesting. Level Up Labs has created a method to crowd source the localization of its game, Defender’s Quest, setting up a dedicated webpage devoted to that task. I can’t think of any other occasion where I’ve seen […]

Polish indie developers MoaCube have announced Bonfire, which they describe as a battle roguelike with a puzzle element. The puzzle is: ‘How the hell am I supposed to survive this!? It seems pretty stripped-down for an RPG, and that seems to be the general intent: Bonfire is what happens when you take a battle system […]

It’s been a while since we featured a new jRPG here on IndieRPGs.com–let’s fix that! A few minutes of digging around the internets reveals to me the existence of Vengeance Road, a new title from Warfare Studios. The premise: Gallagar used to be a fragile country, weak and without respect. That was until Queen Lilliana […]

Hosted Games, the not-Choice-of-Games-but-owned-by-the-same-people company that distributes user-made games created with the Choice of Games engine, has written in to let me know about a new release in that vein called Life of a Wizard.
