The Book of Metal RPG

For the last four years (on and off) and with over 600 hours put into the RPG Maker VX Ace software I’ve finally finished my first ever game – The Book of Metal.  Firstly here’s a video of the first 15 minutes of the game:

 

In a world where metal binds the people of The Peanus Isles, life is simple, and life is good.

Kept strong by the whisper of a legend, metal has grown strong over time and its influence is ever expanding.

All have heard of this legend.

The legend of a book, which has maintained the ethos of this world for many centuries.

But today…

It will be stolen.  It will be taken.

By evil.

Join Alan, Pete, Aiden and more on their quest to bring metal music back from the clutches of evil, stolen by the egomaniac Stubbs after a series of poor album reviews drives him to the brink of insanity.

Take a journey through a world drenched in brutality, taking on corrupted souls, fiends, demons and bad jokes along the way.

Can you save metal as we know it?

XCOM 2 Co-op Campaign Mod

We’ve downloaded the Long War co-op mod for XCOM 2 for a bit of co-operative campaign gameplay, but unfortunately bugs and glitches prevent us from finishing the mission we’re attempting.

RPG Maker Music Side Project

For the past few years I’ve been putting together a game called The Book of Metal using the RPG Maker VX Ace Software – for those who don’t know what that is it’s a… erm, RPG Maker, allowing the user to create retro-style video games in the style of SNES-era classic games like Final Fantasy I – VI and Chrono Trigger to name a few.

As you can guess my game is heavily musically-themed, and after not finding the built-in fantasy jingles to be quite what I’m looking for in a metal-themed video game I decided to make my own using a program called Music Maker Jam, which is perfect for those of us without an ounce of musical ability whatsoever.  Some of the earlier efforts are appalling but I think I’ve now got a reasonably decent soundtrack to compliment the game I’m working on; a combination of syth-style 16-bit era music fused with metal and rock.  With that in mind I’d love to hear your feedback on what I’ve put together so far.

 

New Year, New Videos

Alright, so updates here hasn’t exactly been regular over the past two years, but we’re still going strong despite content not being as frequent as it used to be.  With that said we’re making a new years resolution to keep this blog updated with everything we do – from the videos on our YouTube Page to reviews and such here.

So without further ado we’ve put together a series of Red Dead Redemption 2 Funny Moments videos, there are currently three of them which you can view below.
