@PrimevalFantasy @StirringDragon Words to live by.

If you like Rush (the band), DnD, and 8-bit RPGs, and you’re reading this post: we should be friends.

[Unknown Realm™️ RPG @UnknownRealmSDG]

@hill_jowett Welcome Friend 🥰
Michael Cranford - the creator of Bard’s Tale - gave a great talk at Portland Retro Gaming Expo last year. We had a chance to meet him and hang out…really great guy.

⚔️ 1000 Days In the Life Of A Solo Indie Dev ⚔️

Here are all my game builds from the last 1000 days working on Unknown Realm. (build numbers reset once before when we hit 10k)

📊Stats:

- Average 4 full builds per day (Not counting incremental builds which don't get archived)

- 12,000+ man hours (I work avg 10-12 hrs per day on the game)

People can't even begin to understand how much time, effort, and passion goes into an indie game like this.

Straight out of an 80’s pulp comes Swordbow - golden-haired, steel-muscled, and a certified lady-killer.

He doesn’t just swing blades… he shoots them. The perfect hire for quests that demand bravery…with a side of beefcake.

Recruit him soon in Unknown Realm!

[Huff @Huff4Congress]

I asked @Grok Imagine to make a trailer for the most insane, pulpy, incredible 1980s sword-and-sorcery movie that should’ve existed but never did.

Grok did not disappoint.

Here is SWORDBOW.

Update: Unknown Realm now has more tiles than Ultima 1-6 combined.

[Frampini👾👻 @Frampini]

@IndieLauraSDG @StirringDragon I just visited y’alls website, dude!?!? I’m gonna have to buy a copy! That’s sick!

[Frampini👾👻 @Frampini]

@IndieLauraSDG @StirringDragon I love yalls story! What an amazing journey that is still ongoing. I’ll be here cheering for y’all!

Also, are there any gameplay snippets I can check out? (I like old school CRPG’s)

[Laura @IndieLauraSDG]

Why is this happening @X? When non-X users visit our studio’s profile (@UnknownRealmSDG) in browser, this is what they see?

On other accounts, pinned posts and highlights show when visiting X logged out. Aren’t @premium users supposed to have better visibility on this site?

From our talk @RetroGamingExpo

[Bruce @StirringDragon]

I'm glad people enjoyed our talk, which included a brief history lesson on "The Four Fathers of RPGs", how they each built on the previous, and how all RPGs are inspired by their work to varying degrees.

J.R.R. Tolkien - The Father of Worldbuilding
Gary Gygax - The Father of Role-Playing mechanics
Richard Garriott - The Father of the CRPG
Yuji Horii - The Father of the JRPG

@IndieLauraSDG This game is going to be totally radical. Release date right now? It would be just in time for the weekend.

Come see us @RetroGamingExpo this weekend.

[Unknown Realm™️ RPG @UnknownRealmSDG]

Only two more weeks!

[Retro Gaming Expo @RetroGamingExpo]

Yes, you’re an 80’s nerd, but do you recognize this reference?

[Laura @IndieLauraSDG]

Flashback to that time we used our baby for game marketing and no one understood the reference.

Do you get it?
