UP&DOWN
A downloadable game for Windows
When my computer died last year I lost all the files for this project. Don't expect it to be updated or finished. Maybe I'll remake it at some point, but not anytime soon. Sorry!
A little fun project: an RPG that uses CD10's (TTRPG by Tobias Linder) rules for combat and out-of-battle-skills and interactions. So basically, a video game with tabletop game mechanics.
Features a homebrew setting and a silly story:
A post-apocalyptic Earth, roughly 200 years after the end of WW3. Humanity has somewhat recovered from the societal collapse following the devastating fallout of atomic bombs, but faces several struggles. Modern technology is no longer universally available. Armed conflicts for territory and resources are an everyday occurence.
After faking his death to escape the cult-like military organization that has been his home since his birth and finding an unexpected fellow escapee in their propaganda officer Ruth of all people, a young man named Fafnir scrambles for finding a place in a world he only ever was let loose on to cause death and destruction. Nearly dying in the most unimpressive manner - starvation in the wild -, the duo is taken in by a group of reclusive outlaws: the Scavengers. Unfortunately for the protagonists, the moment the Scavengers find out Fafnir and his "acquaintance" belonged to the Legion, as compensation for providing shelter they expect them to help with a daredevil attempt to rescue the deputy leader's girlfriend who was kidnapped by said Legion years ago. Being the pushover he is, Fafnir lets himself get roped into this heist despite believing that it has to be a suicide mission.
Notice
There is a known bug that talent checks sometimes crash the game. I'm looking into it, and as of version 0.14a it shoooould be fixed hopefully. If your game crashes, it's probably that. I put autosave points in the spots where talent checks are right now, so you should be able to recover your progress from the autosave if it happens.
The storyline can currently be played up to the store visit. There's no way to leave the store right now, so just save your game there and you will hopefully be able to continue from there in the future.
