Word has reached my ear that Valdis Story: Abyssal City, a side-scrolling action RPG, is in development courtesy of EndlessFluff Games. Here’s the premise: Over 40 years ago the Dark Goddess Myrgato attacked and killed her creator, the All Mother Valdis. Since this event Myrgato has been at war with her twin sister the Goddess […]

Rogue’s Souls is a new roguelike in development by C. A. Sinclair. You may at first think that the game’s title is a typo, but it isn’t: Rogue’s Souls is literally a game about a rogue who goes around adding to his collection of souls. It’s a roguelike and it’s loosely inspired by Demon’s Souls […]

Now this is interesting–if you’ve spent much time on Newgrounds over the past five years, you’re probably familiar with the Australian Flash animator Josiah Brooks (better known as Jazza). Jazza already has a fair few games under his belt, but none of them have been RPGs. Not until now, anyway. I just learned that Jazza […]

Mighty Rabbit Studios have written in to announce (unsurprisingly) that episodes 1 and 2 of Saturday Morning RPG will be followed up with an episode 3. Episode 3, “To Bot or Not To Bot,” is apparently Transformers-themed: The evil Botchangers, the Badbots, are attacking Shadow Valley’s Jean Claude Van Dam and stealing all the power! […]

Alchimia Studios writes in to announce the development of Echoes of Aeons, a 2.5D action RPG with some very attractive hand-painted art and animations. The premise: Eldric entered the shop unaware of the eyes watching him from just beyond the pumpkin field fence, just into the morning trees in the forest of Westwood. He was […]

Well shucks, folks–here we have another interesting project by a developer who can clearly code incredibly complicated stuff, but who hasn’t figured out the most basic rule of game marketing: you have to actually email people about your game. Seriously, I just stumbled onto this one by pure luck in a random internet comments thread […]

Sinister Design, developer behind the strategy RPG/wRPG hybrid Telepath RPG: Servants of God, has announced a new game: Telepath Tactics, a multiplayer turn-based tactics game you can play with up to 5 friends or AI enemies. This game was actually announced months ago, but I hesitated to post about it here because I try to […]

Following up on Friday’s post about RPG Playground comes the Free/Libre Action Roleplaying Engine. F.L.A.R.E. is a free, isometric open source engine for action RPGs created by Clint Bellanger and a small army of volunteer contributors. Looking at F.L.A.R.E. in action, it basically looks like a less-polished Diablo 2, albeit one you can use for […]

One-man game studio Koonsolo (a.k.a Koen Witters) has announced RPG Playground, a browser-based RPG and RPG editor rolled into one, based off of Koonsolo’s RPG editor (which has been “temporarily discontinued,” per the developer). Witters describes his plans for the game as follows: With RPG Playground you can create your own online RPG Worlds. It’s […]

I met the developers from new indie dev studio Cosmosaur a few months ago at a student show. At that time, they showed me a game they were working on, a side-scrolling action RPG named Moon Intern. Well, that game is now a thing! Based on what I remember from talking to them, you play […]
