Hi! I'm Kathy and I'm making Stories from Danger's Den, the game that randomly generates adventures, each in its own unique world. I'm still at work making it better. Follow me to keep up with my progress!

Also check out the official Danger's Den blog:

Title screen of Stories from Danger's Den. It has a plain black background. The title text is in fancy lettering by Not Jam. The menu options, centered below the title, are New Random Story, Continue, Enter Story ID, Options, and Quit. In the bottom left corner, some gray text reads: Alpha 5 pre-release. Screenshot of Stories from Danger's Den, an eight bit style game with a top-down view. In this shot of the overworld, a paladin in pink armor roams a valley where two rivers wind. The paladin is about to cross the first bridge. To the west, beyond the second bridge, is a town. Screenshot of a bustling woodland town in Stories from Danger's Den. A soldier wearing a yellow helmet is talking with a shopkeeper at a booth. The shopkeeper says, "Hi, Brentric! Stock up on herbs before you leave town!" Battle screen. Three wild-eyed monsters that look like giant vegetables bare their teeth at the viewer. The menu shows six options: Attack, Tactic, Magic, Guard, Item, and Run. The player has selected Attack. In a menu to the right, the monsters' names are displayed: Madroot A, Madroot Turnip, and Madroot B.

The game has just spawned its very first lava cave, and brave Jocho is exploring it. What do you think his quest here might be?
Screenshot of Stories from Danger's Den, an 8-bit-style RPG with a top-down view. A soldier in red armor is standing in a large cavern with a floor of gray volcanic ash. To his east and west are large pools of glowing lava. To the north is a wall of basalt, and to the south, a pillar of basalt with paths around both its east and its west side. The game's menu is open, so we can see that Jocho is level 3 and has 31 out of 45 hit points and no magic points. He has 103 gold.

Reposting some of my favorite work for Somewhen, my main project. A lot of people have told me I've done a lot of work to make it beautiful and snappy and I think I should return to it to apply all I've learned through Project Kelvin.

Both are being made in Godot, so it's a no brainer!

rpgmaker definitely isn't the right tool for everyone, but I think using opinionated pre-baked tools to make some games would be very instructive to a lot of folks setting out to make their epic custom dream game. they're a much lower-stakes way to learn important lessons like "how to tell a story"

I just noticed the game speed selector in the godot running window. Not sure how long that has been there but really useful for debugging.

Here's a little behind-the-scenes glimpse of castle room templates that will be used in random castle generation. I'm preparing the smallest room styles first and going up from there.
Screenshot of RPG Maker's map editor, which is opened to a map called "Castle Rooms - Small". The map contains a variety of castle rooms: common areas, shops, libraries, inns, guard posts, and stairwells. The rooms are separated by 1-tile-wide bands of empty space.

A curious settlement that spawned a week ago: a single house, surrounded by a full set of city walls. Though it originated because of a bug I've since fixed, it's given me a design idea.
Screenshot of Stories from Danger's Den, an 8-bit-style game with a top-down view. A house is surrounded by city walls, which are surrounded by a forest. The house has warm gray cobblestone walls, red-brown flagstone floors, and three beds. Three townspeople wander around inside. A guard patrols the courtyard outside the house but inside the city walls. Two adventurers walk atop the city walls.

The title screen for "Quartet" shows little vignettes of our characters to give you a taste of what's to come!

Can you tell we're inspired by FFVI?

Last week was my first week back at Stories from Danger's Den development after months on hold. I got watchtowers spawning into the worlds. These small structures have guards who give advice and directions. Sometimes they have an armory, too.

For the final project for my video game composition course, I have students compose music for a 2-minute gameplay video, and I would LOVE to feature a couple indie games.

So if you're an indie dev that might be interested in this, let me know!

Progress! Progress! In towns you visit, there are also temples you can visit where you can have the Clerics there revive your teammates. For a fee of course. They will increase in price the higher level they become. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #SRPG #RPGMakerMV #pixelart #RPGツクールMV
