Underground Hill

Ako ste oduvek želeli da napravite svoju kompjutersku igru ali ste ubrzo odustali zbog prevelikih vremenskih i finansijskih zahteva, svako pročitajte iskustva Jay Barnson-a koji je za nedelju dana bez ikakvog budžeta uspeo da napravi solidnu RPG zanimaciju:

I knew it would be extremely difficult. But I accepted the challenge.

On top of that, I documented what I was doing as I worked, which I expected would be a little like going through an entire development cycle on fast-forward. I thought it might be interesting to game developers – or at least an entertaining record of how I fell on my face if I failed.

This game is for serious players only! Hordes of Heart-Pounding, Heavy-Hitting, Hack-and-Slash action adventure await! This game is not for sissy players who don’t want their characters to die. In a BRUTAL game, your characters get killed all the time. How long can your characters stay alive?

Povrh svega:

BRUTAL is a free press game. This means the game is free for you to download, print, and share “freely” with your friends, but you may never make any profit off the BRUTAL game, or any of it’s supporting documents.

Brutalno dobro.

Fantasy Map Maker – besplatne fantasy mape za nekomercijalnu upotrebu (teško mi je i da zamislim neku njihovu primenu u komercijalne svrhe, ali ajde :=).

Dodatak za Oblivion, koji Vam omogućava da uzmete ulogu nekog od heroja Middle Earth-a, moguće je pronaći na adresi: http://www.freewebs.com/merptc/home.htm. Ostavljam vama da proverite koliko je sve ovo zaista igrivo, a ja ću u međuvremenu potražiti nešto slično u Morrowind izvedbi (za nas sa slabijim grafičkim akceleratorima .

Obsidian Portal je mesto na kome, kroz wiki interfejs i nenapadan dizajn, možete besplatno hostovati svoje RPG kampanje:

Obsidian Portal allows you to create campaign websites for Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop role-playing games. Rather than trying to automate the playing of the game, Obsidian Portal provides tools to help facilitate the storytelling. Every campaign gets a shared blog/wiki to showcase their story, as well as integrated tools to help track NPCs, locations, treasure, and all the other minutae that makes up an RPG.
