Starting a Devlog for The Lost Pages!


Hi, I'm Harris (aka BedtimeGuy), the developer of The Lost Pages!

I've been working on this game for about five years now in my spare time, and it's finally getting to the point where I have stuff worth sharing!

The original concept came from a silly argument with friends. I was complaining that RPGs are often way too similar, so why should I play them? I argued that RPGs are so formulaic, I could make an "RPG Simulator" that generates a new RPG every time you play it.

For some reason this joke of an idea stuck in my head, especially as I got into a lot of roguelike games.

So I set about thinking what could possibly be procedurally generated, and arrived at the answer: Most of it!.. as long as we still count picking premade things randomly from a list.

So 5 years later, I have a bunch of UI, a turn-based battle system, an overworld with randomly generated dungeons and towns, and a lot of little systems.

I'll be posting about my journey to get this far, and any interesting things that come up as I work on the rest of this game.
