This is a site for discussing roleplaying games.

If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Age of Fable hits a milestone.

Age of Fable

July 06, 2009, 01:34:07 PM
Although the game is still unfinished and under construction, I've just hit an important milestone in writing it.

As of today, it's now possible to reach a successful ending and win the game.

I'll be adding at least a few other successful endings over the next couple of months.

I've been updating it daily for the last little while. So if you haven't looked at it for a while, have a look now. You're likely to find some new stuff there.

Congrats. Age of Fable is something I'll come back to every few months or so, having forgotten it, and enjoy a great deal. It's always fun to dive back in and now there's even more content there I'll be sure to do so again!

I did play a quick game and enjoyed it immensly.  Very realxing to keep it on it's own tab and make a move every few minutes in between work disasters.

I love the concept and the choice of artwork.

How easy will it be to manage the content? I assume it's based on a database. Will it be easy to customize the traits for an alternative version?

You can look at the sourcecode here:

And yes, it'd be easy enough to have different attributes. You'd have to know a bit about programming to do it properly though, and to be honest there are probably easier engines for writing gamebook-style games.

Thanks! I could turn that into a slogan:

"Age of Fable: the fantasy CRPG that's consistently forgettable" :D

Yeah...gamebooks are, generally, much deadlier than pen-and-paper role-playing games.
