Brigand: Oaxaca News

Heyo, I'm not dead, just moving. I plan to have a new Warlordocracy demo up in a week or two where you can use the command prompt and script to edit stuff. Eventually I will fix that horrific pathfinding but not yet.

After that, there will be another Brigand update (7.1), where I just improve the world editor, cause one dude here is making some fuckin premium content and it's gonna be sweet.

Open-source Visual Basic interactive-fiction concept demo with a sentence parser and complete Visual Basic source code in case anyone wants to riff off this. Didn't want to throw it in the garbage. The engine is called TARS (Text adventure RPG system). The game is called Beached. Let me know if anyone wants to keep working on this old-ass program I made years ago.

Warlordocracy Demo v2 is up on itch. Everything is now scriptable w/ notepad so you can screw around with dialogue, item properties, AI, etc. There's also a day/night cycle, and you can zoom the camera in and out with the mouse wheel. Next on the to-do list is the world editor.

In a couple weeks I'll post an update on Warlordocracy, a pixel and tile-based RPG that will gradually turn into an RTS when you recruit enough homies. Right now I'm making sure the notepad scripting language is working for max modability, then I'm gonna get to work on the map editor. After that... ahhhh... story.



Meanwhile, here are some articles I wrote when I got sick of coding:

I just put the SteamWUT program in the free Extras DLC. It should help you upload mods to the Steam Workshop. Heeeell yeah, thank you to Quadrajet. There's a test story on the Workshop right now. He's also making a new legit story with new characters and it looks amazing.
