I’m keenly interested in developing games, and RPG’s are my favorite type of game by far. I’ve been struck by the “stickyness” of a game called Castle Age. I also recently wrote an article about just going for it and create a game – get it working and just iterate on it like crazy. I’ve also been interested in web-based games and learning YUI. Also (take a deep breath) I’ve wanted to build something on GitHub. So, let’s mix all this together to get : The RPG Machine!

The RPG Machine is a project to create a fun, web-based rpg where you play primarily by filling and emptying progress bars :) It may sound boring, but I hope to include several suprises along the way.

Here is a link to the current demo: RPG Machine.
Here is a link to the project on GitHub: RPG Machine.

So, some interesting bits: The progress meter is actually YUI2 wrapped inside YUI3 via an extension from the YUIGallery called the YUI Wrapper.

This project is completely open. If you have ideas or suggestions to improve it, please fork the code and send me patches! I’ll be continuing to make this game more and more fun and interesting on a weekly basis. If you have ideas about how it might be improved, please feel free to add comments here or in the GitHub comments.
