[Reality on the Norm:]

This pales in comparison to what Eric is doing!

Reality on the Norm:
Reality Check - Episode 4

Coming when it's finished, there's no set timetable.
    -    RC4 features a new custom GUI.
    -    Will be longer than previous episodes.
    -    Development is slower than previous games (I broke my brain the last 2 games!).





Bednaux interrupted when helping a customer...



It's a hard life being a Void Pirate!

As I've aged I've grown to like many different types of music.

Tom Waits - I don't wanna grow up.

A bit avant-garde, but it used to speak volumes to me.

You've been doing this four years going by the first post of this topic!
My hat's off to ya!

I'd like to see Alec Spherguson in the next update, I can see that one testing your skills!

Judging by the dialogue of the characters, I don't think this will be so shitty! Looks funny!

I find RoNifying quite enjoyable! I'm crap at drawing, but I'm pretty good at editing and combining currently existing sprites and backgrounds.

So are you doing every single character, no matter how small a part they play?

I'm more concerned by his issues with alcohol Calin....

I think I just came...

I'm tempted! Though I'm working on RoN: Reality Check 4 at the moment.
If anyone else is interested in picking it up, I've no problem with that!

[Cecil T Crumpet and Stephen Redcoat!]

(Inspired by my last comment)

Now we meet the bad guys:
Cecil T Crumpet and Stephen Redcoat!



They come to Reality on the Norm in their tea powered flying crumpets.
Their mission: To take over the world starting with RoN!

Sexy slave: Put down that whiskey bottle D-Boy...
D-Boy: Why should I do what you say? You just tried to kill me!
Sexy slave: You're the only one that can save us! Your sword skills are unparalleled!
D-Boy: Well yes there is that..... also being the son of God...
Sexy slave: .....D-Boy.......

Oldschool_Wolf presents: Reality on the Norm: New Britannia.

RoN: New Britannia is a "Crumpetpunk" styled adventure game. Can D-Boy and Sexy Slave save Reality on the Norm from these crazy Englishmen?

All Englishmen are secretly evil, biding our time to reclaim the British Empire!
Fear our tea powered crumpet machines!

So did you like the sprites?

RC 1 was an on/off project for 6 months, RC 2 took a month, RC 3 less than a month.

The reasons the games where made so quickly are:
- 90% of the art was already done, freely available from the Reality on the Norm community website.
- When I'm not making games, I'm thinking about making games. So I know exactly what I'm doing by the time I sit down with my laptop.
- I like to keep things as simple as possible.
- I sometimes get a bit lazy and cut corners!
- Originally it was just going to be Reality Check 2, It ended up being split into two games because of the amount of story I wanted.
- RC2 isn't really that long.
- I had some time off work when i made RC3, and went to bed late.

Hope you enjoy the game!

What is this guy's back story? I was thinking borderline alcoholic with delusions of grandeur.
The woman? I think she's fed up of being this guy's sexy slave... so she hatches a plan to kill him, but has to make it look like an accident.
Sounds like the potential for a good game! 



Edit: I'm absolutely not suggesting that you're anything like that, I'm just being silly.

I've heard of "steam" and "cyber" punk, didn't realise there was so many punks!
I am willing to be one of your game testers.

"Good taste?" Your main character has a "Sexy Tropical Dancer" slave! 
These sprites belong to Gaia Online surely? Can you give what is not yours to give?

I'm tempted to use the guy in my new RoN game, though I cannot guarantee the personal safety of his genitals...

Reality Check 4 is far from complete, but I thought I'd release the first chapter as a demo.
I've never released a demo before but thought it might be a good idea to get some feedback, also to motivate me to finish it!

There's a rip-off of Monkey Island's insult combat in there which I'm not so sure about. (Funny, after I finished implementing this system a certain topic started in the rumpus room! I posted some of the insults that appear in RC4 in that topic.)

CLICK HERE FOR DEMO.

EDIT: Warning! The humour is more profane than previous episodes...

Thanks AdventureStar! Don't forget to play 2 and 3!

Reality Check 2.

Reality Check 3.

We just have to wait for Penny Arcade's relevant news article to see if this thread has inspired the comic. Or it could be a coincidence!

It depends on how detailed your sprites are I suppose. Higher detail sprites? Go for a higher resolution.
