Creepy Castle: Let's Battle!

Hey, guys! This is Zach here once again to tell you about Creepy Castle. In some of my previous posts I've alluded to the game's unique, action-oriented battle system, but I figure it's time to go in-depth on this subject, since it's one of Creepy Castle's defining features. If you followed our Kickstarter campaign then you already kno...

Full Mojo Rampage: Creating a Roguelike

One of the big goals we set for ourselves with Full Mojo Rampage was to ensure that players never had the exact same experience twice. Personally, I love being able to launch a game - especially one that I made - and not know what's going to happen. We wanted something new and different every time you play, so we designed FMR as a rogu...

Full Mojo Rampage: Quests from the Underworld

Greetings! Previously we've talked about choosing your parent Loa and customizing your character with masks and pins and mojos...but then what do you get to do with him? Lots! In fact, since the game is procedurally generated, you could say there's an infinite amount of things to do! But for today, let's take a look at the different ca...

Full Mojo Rampage: Why Voodoo?

Greetings! This is Rob again from Over the Top Games, here to tell you more about the creation of Full Mojo Rampage. One of the unique things about Full Mojo Rampage is its voodoo theme, but it wasn't always necessarily going to be that way. As I mentioned in my previous post, I've always been a huge fan of The Legend of Zelda, so earl...

Full Mojo Rampage: Meet the Loa Part 1

One of the fun aspects of Full Mojo Rampage is that you aren't limited to just one play style. There are eight parent Loa (voodoo gods) in the game that you can pick from to customize your character, and although there's only one available at the beginning, you'll be able to unlock the others by collecting medals. You can think of the...

Creepy Castle: Exploring the Castle

Hey, it's Zach again. If you're going to have an exploration-heavy adventure-RPG like Creepy Castle, one of the things that you obviously want to get right is the level layout: you have to make a game world that's fun and interesting to explore. In our case, though, we didn't want to make things too complicated either. In the end, I'd ...

Creepy Castle: Creepy Origins

Zach from Dopterra here again! So, you might be wondering why I decided to make a retro-inspired adventure-RPG starring a giant anthropomorphic moth. Well, as for the moth thing, I've just always liked 'em. As for the rest, Creepy Castle started as an idea I cooked up for a 48-hour RPG competition back in 2009. Or was it a game jam? I ...
