Oh, hm. Another day has passed. I suppose I should post some more indie RPG news? Very well! Let’s do that. Word reaches me that Valkyria Games (not to be confused with Sega’s Chronicles of the same name) has come out with a new jRPG by the name Hunters Grimm. Suddenly, that image to the […]

We have reached a new milestone in indie RPGs. Up until last week, Jesus Christ had one role and one role only in jRPGs: to have his name muttered angrily under one’s breath after running into the 15th random battle in a row. No longer! As of October 15, 2013, Jesus Christ has his very […]

I know what you’re thinking. “They finally did it: someone went out there and made a dubsteb RPG.” Great guess! But nope. “The Drop” refers not to the musical term, but rather to a new roguelike created by TildeOne Games. Well, okay, maybe not exactly new: the Drop was released in mid-August, though it did […]

Emmett Southwood writes in to tell me about Fey, a new action RPG. Developed under the pseudonym Ashes of Emerald, Fey was released just last month after a whopping 8 years in development. The premise: Fey is the story of Landon Ferngrass, a young boy with a broken past who is lured back into a […]

Word reaches me that there’s been a new jRPG created with RPG Maker. Memories of A Vagabond: Broken Destiny is reportedly a rather dark take on the genre. Developers “The DarkElite Team” relate the following premise: Become a young mercenary and travel from soul to soul to avenge your fiance and her family. While finding […]

John Clowder, creator of the decidedly bizarre surrealist jRPG Middens (previously covered here), has come out with a new title by the name of Gingiva. As with Middens before it, Gingiva is a surrealist jRPG. The premise: An amboeboid landscape threatens to engulf civlization and all its plastic bottles. Disembodied mouths live in the walls […]

So, this is apparently a thing. A developer going by the name of Phenix has released an RPG Maker game starring Kanye West, in what has to be the most ludicrous use of a celebrity persona since Barkley: Shut Up and Jam Gaiden. The game, in case the title of this post didn’t tip you […]

Word has it that RosePortal Games (whom you may recall as the studio behind The Princess’ Heart) has released Epic Quest of the 4 Crystals, a new RPG Maker jRPG. The premise: In a world where classic tales come together, a young man must go on an adventure to collect four elemental crystals and save […]

Terry Cavanagh has brought to my attention the existence of a new RPG Maker chain game: specifically, the appropriately titled RMW Chain Game. (I say “new,” of course, because we saw one of these released last year.) Created under the auspices of ChainGame.net, RMW Chain Game is basically exquisite corpse conducted via RPG Maker: The […]

While we’re on the subject of games that I should’ve posted about last year, Dancing Dragon (previously Deadly Sin Studios) came out with a really nice-looking jRPG called Skyborn last spring. (If “Deadly Sin Studios” sounds familiar, it might be because the developer is the same fellow behind the Deadly Sin series, one Phillip Hamilton–you […]
