    Game engines

    It would be helpful to know as many details about the game you want to make as possible... Also, what programming languages are you familiar with? Unity is definitely a very popular engine these days with indie developers, there's lots of assets for it, but from what I understand works better...

    One for the Good Guys...

    I'm actually not aware of anything you mentioned. I have repressed the traumatic experience of playing FO3 and have not / will never play FO4. I live in blissful ignorance of Bethesda and am still patiently waiting for someone to release Van Burren... Anyway, I mostly avoid gaming related...

    Upcoming PC-exclusive RPGs

    Removed Torment: ToN as it was announced for consoles. And Frozen State was recently released on Steam. Believe it or not there's still a few RPGs I need to add.

    Can a game's fanbase/over exposure ruin the game itself?

    I think I would love it if my favorite games became wildly popular. If say, Age of Decadence got some major publicity bump and became one of the best selling indie games of all time... Not only would that give the developer (ITS) plenty of funds for their next major game project (Colony Ship...

    Elder Scrolls Six predictions

    It will have an incredibly mediocre story, terrible voice acting, dumbed down RPG mechanics (likely Perks only a la FO4), clunky combat, extremely buggy, with extreme hand-holding (quest compasses and journal entries that always tell you exactly how to solve every simple quest.. Hell, maybe the...

    Upcoming PC-exclusive RPGs

    SRPG is a "Strategy RPG", also known as TRPG (tactical RPG); basically it's an RPG that is focused on (relatively large scale) tactical combat, which is generally turn-based. Blackguards and Legends of Eisenwald are good recent examples. They're generally distinguished from turn-based strategy...

    Upcoming PC-exclusive RPGs

    I understand. Problem is we all have our own definition of True RPG. I personally dislike most Action RPGs (and Dungeon Crawlers), but it seems arbitrary to exclude things because I don't like them... Of course I want this to be useful to other people or I wouldnt' have posted so I'll work on...

    Upcoming PC-exclusive RPGs

    Then please give me a comprehensive definition of RPG so I can determine whether or not a specific game makes the cut. I could do a list of only CRPGs that's an extremely subjective term... I do think most of the games I've listed here are pretty much indisputably an RPG... Biggest...

    Upcoming PC-exclusive RPGs

    In order to keep track of upcoming RPGs I've been making a list. It's grown to be pretty massive so I'm trying to split them into sub-genres: (SRPG) Strategy RPGs (linear with heavy focus on turn-based tactical combat): Acaratus (Early Access) Medieval Steampunk 2017 Age of Grit- Steampunk...

    Disco Elysium OUT NOW (previously: No Truce With The Furies)

    @Gaspard You guys may want to set up an Indiedb page for your game. I created a very basic Giantbomb page and will get one submitted for Neoseeker soon. I think the more places you can get free publicity, the better..

    Disco Elysium OUT NOW (previously: No Truce With The Furies)

    I don't care for Steam, so in order to facilitate a GOG release I created a GOG wishlist entry. Please vote. I don't know how much attention GOG actually pays to their wishlist, but if nothing else it may bring this intriguing game some more attention.

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Playing Wasteland 2. I never really got into the first WL game (tried it only recently and found the basic combat really tedious). But as a big fan of FO 1 & 2, I backed WL2 on Kickstarter but for some reason never got around to playing it when it was first released... Then heard it was...

    Krai Mira - Officially released (07/11/16)

    I've heard that only half of the planned content is currently available; the second half of the game is supposed to be released in 10-12 months. I've also heard the dialogue is pretty poorly translated (and possibly just genuinely bad writing). So this clearly seems to be one of those, "not...

    What's your favorite title theme?

    Depends on what I'm in the mood for but... For medieval / early Renaissance: Serene fantasy theme: [/media] Another great fantasy theme: Ultra-hipster techno indie rock: As already mentioned Arcanum has a great old-timey theme song

    Thoughts on the current generation of gamers

    I played FO1 & 2 shortly after they were released, so I was probably 17 or 18 when I played them. I probably failed to appreciate just how awesome they were back then, but I really enjoyed them. I just naturally assumed there would be a FO3. Years later when it finally came out and I got...

    Any decent Wild West RPGs out there? Any reason why there hasn't been one?

    There aren't many currently. Aside from Hard West, there's: Six Gun Shootout a turn-based strategy, Wild West game made by SSI. If you don't mind a relatively light-hearted take on the Wild West, there's Boot Hill Heroes , it's an Earthbound inspired JRPG with a "Spaghetti Western" setting...
