    Untitled C64 Game In Development

    I saw this project while browsing youtube today. It appears to be an Ultima inspired clone in development for the C64. With recent retro projects like Nox Archaist (Apple II) and Realms of Antiquity: The Shattered Crown (TI-99/4a) finding success, I'm interested to see how this turns out. There...

    What are some RPGs with Universal Character Death?

    I've been recently playing Corpus Edax: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2017610/CORPUS_EDAX/ This little game some how manages to feature Universal Character Death, meaning you can kill any NPC and still continue the game. So I was wondering: What are some other games that feature this...

    Developer rejuvenation?

    I was thinking a bit about the trajectory of various famous developers: Blizzard, Bioware, Bethesda, Square Enix and how when the decline started it didn't really ever reverse even if it was sometimes halted. Has there ever been a game company that made two games of declining quality in a row...

    Captain Claw

    https://captainclaw.net/en/downloads.html Perhaps some of you are already familiar with this game, especially since many of you guys are undoubtedly polish. This game has quite a following in Poland (or, so I have heard), and for good reason. It is really awesome. It is abandonware, but above...

    Fallout 2 was always incline

    No, Fallout 1 isnt better than 2 Fallout 1's better pacing and sense of urgency werent enough to justify it being better than its sequel and you should accept it. Not only density of content but quality itself is consistently higher on the sequel and i will discuss some of those points here...

    Grimoire V2 Short Review (or is it V3?)

    I thought it was V2 but Game version is 3.something. I'm not going to babble about the game roots or the history of the game's development or whatever else, it has been covered already and it's not my thing anyway. What I'm going to do is to list what I like and what I dislike, nothing more and...

    Incline How many new RPG features do future RPGs really need?

    Is there such a thing as compensating for things? How many hot new "amazing" RPG features would a new "big" RPG need to be fun if it was fully 2D and its graphics were too abstract or too shit? Or do we really need graphically inconsistent games instead? I'll play BG3 whenever it comes out in...

    Incline What would have to happen for a 2nd cRPG Renaissance?

    For discussion purposes, the first cRPG Renaissance is largely considered to be between the mid 90s to the early 2000s. Games would include seminal works such as Fallout, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate, Arcanum, etc. While cRPGs are still most certainly a niche genre, over the last few...

    Essential QoL features in RPGs
