Back from the Dead...

Hey folks,

I was really into the ohrrpgce in high school (my user name was eagtile on the zantetsuken message board) and again for a little while in 2007-2008 (my user name was haappy-aardvark on castleparadox). I made "Help Wanted", "Catacombs", and "Remi and the Pastel Sword". Anyway, I recently became interested in game design as a hobby again, and decided to see what was going on with the ohrrpgce. I have some specific questions about what the engine is now capable of, but I think I'll ask those in another thread.

I was really excited to see that Hamsterspeak did retrospective pieces on two of my games! I'm glad they had a bit of impact.

So back in 2007-2008, I was working on a longer game, which I never released. I kept it all these years though, and decided I might as well upload a demo to Slime Salad now - it's called "Painted Space". I doubt very much I will ever continue working on it, but it might be fun if you liked my other games.

(Oh, I also worked on "Boartok's Eggplant" with Bagne, who was in my high school class. That was a 48-hour game where you could possess NPCs. It was mostly incomplete and was mostly Bagne's work, but I think it has been lost. Someone actually messaged my old castleparadox account like 5 years ago asking about it, but I'm afraid I do not seem to have a copy.)

Anyway, it's good to see there's still a community around all of this.

Welcome back! I remember you and your work well! (I went by Divine Bovine back in the old days)

You'll probably recognize a few other folks here too, but many people have moved on over the years. The OHR community is still fairly active as far as game development goes, but discussion is few and far between I'm afraid.

I checked out Painted Space, and actually wrote a review on it just now. If you want to check it out, go here:

Hope you stick around man! We need all of the OHR-oriented activity we can get!

Hello,and welcome back!

Hello! It's always cool to hear from people coming back. Actually, Bagne himself turned up for the first time in years just a couple months ago. Interesting to learn that link. I remember the name 'Eagtile' but nothing else. I do however, remember that tech-demo Remi and the Pastel Sword. Catacombs looks a bit familiar, but I'm probably confusing with another game that had room-based random dungeons...
