Indie Brigand: Oaxaca - post-apocalyptic RPG/FPS set in Mexico

[Brian Lancaster]

Oh shit, thanks. Just fixed it.

My insane wizard character can't even regain hp by sleeping and is pretty much stranded nowhere. I don't even know the location of a single loa shrine. Just when I was at the brink of extinction I discovered a terrible spell that enables me to live on... parasitic touch. I have essentially become a vampire. This game simulates a mage going mad better than any mainstream fantasy RPG.

 

[Spectral Pontifex]

I don't even want to spoil what just happened but I think that my shenanigans upset some spirits that happen to be more real than one might think at first glance.

If you can't find a shrine, you can drink lots of alcohol to restore sanity like real life.

P.S.: Just looked at your signature. I started an open source Interactive Fiction engine on Visual Basic long time ago, but there's only one room right now: https://blancaster45.itch.io/beached-demo

There's no 1280x720 in DarkBASIC Pro, unfortunately. Someone on Discord said they were gonna look at the DBP source code, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
EDIT: (The C++ source code for DBP)

well, on the plus side it supports 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios (1920x1080 and 1920x1200). If you point me to the source, I may be able to add 1280x720 and 1280x800 to it. Probably easiest to do by overriding some of the useless resolutions like 1152x864 and 1280x960.

Oh shit, I was just about to look up info on the insanity mechanic as I forgot what the game exactly told me. Good to know that I can continue my rampage as a non-affiliated drunk mad wizard.

I prefer to play interactive fiction nowadays. I like to play games for reactivity and interactive fiction provides plenty of that within a story. Modern RPGs usually lack in that department. While Brigand obviously doesn't tell a story with great prose, it does give you a lot of freedom to act within the world and affect it.

I am starting to feel like a gullible 12 year old hunting a bigfoot in Gta San Andreas. I KNOW WHAT I SAW. I will unload several magazines into it the next time I see it. If it can even be killed.

Brian Lancaster question, why does Zac turn hostile once he retreats into the forest after destroying the brewery? Dude even told me I should be loyal to him, but then randomly attacks in the forest.

 

[Brian Lancaster]

He talks about defecting to Scawuen Tribe in his journal.

P.S.: I need my IF to have sentence parsers, tho.

 

[Spectral Pontifex]

Oh, he drops that after you kill him or some shit? Son of a bitch blasted my head off on the spot and I haven't tried to send him to meet George Floyd again, yet.

 

[Brian Lancaster]

Ya, I added some explanation in his journal. You gotta kill him to progress the story. About to take some albino penis envy mushrooms, so I'll be afk for a while.

I had a good idea on mushrooms: https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/229261

Microdose LSD while developing to ensure great success.

Makes me imagine a Brigand sequel in a more modern engine

Immediately add the option to have more than 7 factions and 13 skills or face unforeseen consequences.

 

[Brian Lancaster]

It would fuck up everyone's saves and I'm too lazy to work around that.

I mean it's not impossible to work around it in creative ways, but it would be a tad bit more convenient modding wise.

You can use fewer skills and it will disable the 2nd skill window if you want. You can also use AI scripts to have baddies target you and the party if a certain variable is 0, stuff like that. That's what I did for Ozee's Crew in Panama DLC because there is no official Eleggua Tribe in that one. Gonna release another patch tonight with improved world editor hopefully (maybe tomorrow).

Cool stuff, man. I know my way around Blender, more or less, so I think I might cook up something in the upcoming months. Haven't even finished the main game though, I am a busy man.

Got the new object adjustor working in the world editor (R-Mouse):

Brigand: Oaxaca is coming to GOG.com soon. Too lazy to make a new trailer so I edited the old one.
