Pippin Barr’s hidden game objects exhibition returns in v r ^2

August 24, 2022RockPaperShotgun

Over the past decade, indie developer Pippin Barr has regularly shared free game experiments that you can play in your browser, such as Epic Sax, Chesses and its sequel, and the fantastically named Jostle Bastards. Now, Barr has taken another pass at his 2016 game v r 2, which was an exhibition of stuff you could find in the Unity engine’s GameObject menu. Except everything was inside cubes.

Get In The Car, Loser! begins as all RPGs about young protagonists with magical powers do—just a lot more bluntly. The world is being threatened by the evil Machine Devil and the Machine Devil cultists, and apparently no one is going to save it if not your plucky party of heroes. So hop on in the back seat, you dork. Get In The Car, Loser!, a free game written by Christine Love of Ladykiller In A Bind fame, is now fueled up and headed out on its self-proclaimed “lesbian road trip RPG”. Read more

August 13, 2021RockPaperShotgun

Epic Games Store have found a few more copies of Rebel Galaxy down the back of their couch to give away.

Text-based RPG Cyberpunkdreams is out now and free to play

May 14, 2021RockPaperShotgun

Cyberpunkdreams, as is the law for cyberpunk games, is set in a biggo futuristic city. Ah, but the city in question? No no, not future London. Not New York, or anywhere in California. Welcome to the cyberpunk midwest, everyone. This free, text-based RPG is set in the 2090s border city of Cincinnati. That’s in Ohio, which is the middle of the United States, which you’ll be forgiven for not knowing if you don’t live two hours away from it. As of 2090, it’s one of the hottest places to be, the biggest border city between the future states and the…

The Anything Gallery is a museum of whatever you want it to be

December 15, 2020RockPaperShotgun

Look, I’ve covered a lot of videogame museums in my time with RPS. It’s fitting, then, that I’d eventually cover a virtual art gallery of literally everything. Released for free this weekend, The Anything Gallery is exactly that – an exhibition of anything you want, curating from any phrase you enter before its wings skew off into weird and wild tangents stretching infinitely in every direction.
