OddGames
is a one man game studio currently developing a PC game called Medieval Story. I live in Umeå, a town in northern Sweden.
There is a Medieval Story working alpha demo which you can try for free. However, to get the project finished I need your support. This will allow me to pay for studio rent, additional development programs and equipment.
The more I raise the more creative freedom and content there will be.
Your funding support will help!
Medieval Story takes place in an open world. Once you are on the road you are free to
explore the land. This means that you can have multiple quests going on at the same time and that they don’t have to be completed in a predefined order. It is up to the player to decide their own pace of gameplay and preferred path of exploration.
Some of the
game’s details:
The game is
built using an in-house isometric engine. Graphics, music and sound effects are
especially created for the game, no assets have been bought or licensed.
The combat elements
in the game are directly controlled by the player. Every attack and parry/block
has to be executed explicitly. The game is not centered on experience points or
some random loot system. Instead the player’s skill and the quality of the gear
that is earned determines the outcome of a battle.
Medieval
Story has been in development for several years by a one man team. The game’s
core code is mostly completed. It is possible to run around, fight NPC, engage
in dialogue etc. However some minor systems are still in need of implementation
such as cut scene functionality.
The game is going to be episode based. The more money that is raised
beyond the initial goal the more content there will be.
$10 000 - Initial goal. This will allow me to complete the game with one full episode.
$20 000 - Stretch goal #1. If the campaign reaches this amount I will have enough funding for one more episode.
$30 000 - Stretch goal #2. With
this amount I will be able to add even more content. More monsters,
locations, music, cut scenes than was previously planned for.
$40 000 - Stretch goal #3. If the campaign reaches this amount I will be able to further develop the level editor (Nimrod the isometric
editor) and release it to the public, for free!
$50 000 - Stretch goal #4. Additional platform support (to be determined). Play Medieval Story on your favourite gaming platform!
You can already play a short introduction to the first episode by downloading the alpha test!
My name is

for the past 20 years. I have developed games for several different platforms
and environments including Windows, IOS, internet/web, Java and Amiga.
I started
programming the engine that Medieval Story utilizes as a hobby diversion in my spare
time.
