Out-of-challenge 7DRL: Orc Redemption

April 17th, 2011

I didn’t manage to finish my roguelike for 7DRLC 2011, ZombieRL, in time. In the end I actually found the idea rather boring. It’s kinda hard to develop a decent storyline centred around mindless zombie-killing, and the kind of horror atmosphere I was aiming for is really hard to do well in a roguelike.

So I plan to make an out-of-challenge 7DRL called Orc Redemption. In Orc Redemption, you will play as an orc who has decided to defect from the underground empire and warn the human colonies up above of an impending invasion. Your character will need to sabotage, fight, assassinate, and stealthily make his or her way to the surface. The other orcs will react accordingly…

Wish me luck.

    In fact, I’ll start on it this upcoming weekend. I’ll get more done on my Easter break away from uni…

    Any luck carving out time for this yet? I’m curious to see.

    I haven’t forgotten – but carving out time has proved rather difficult. ;-) Hopefully next week… I just need to get started…
