Simplex

A freeform pen-and-paper role playing system that is easy to learn, developed over a couple years with numerous playtesters, and featured in the now-defunct DragonScroll webzine.

Simplicity - the number of rules and amount of dice rolling is kept to a minimum. This accounts for good flexibility, making it easy to grasp the rules and create a character.

Realism - the world should be realistic after accounting for magic. The rules should be balanced, and that logical things happen. This also means that combat is very lethal.

Development - your character starts out weak but gets the option of improving every session by gaining experience. Players can also add own inventions of skills, traits, spells or equipment to the game.

Spöl

A card game developed for the anniversary of the city of Enschede, requested by the municipality and designed by me and a group of friends. Its simple gameplay involves scoring points in several areas, such as safety and nature. The game features pictures taken from the city, and was distributed among over 50,000 citizens.

As a long-standing member of the local boardgaming club, I've written several gaming-related articles and puzzles for their newsletter. I've also had a hand in a number of unreleased board and card games, with themes varying from elections to the Loch Ness monster, and from a card game with hidden rules to a board game of Leylines. And no game designer would be without a set of custom Magic: the Gathering cards.

Leylines

As a powerful wizard, you start by ruling a small nation as you plot to take over the world! Rule over seven diverse races, from shapeshifting Theria, to spider-riding Dwarves, to the decadent Regency. Explore a vast fantasy world, expand by building more cities, battle the armies of rival wizards, and cast earth-shattering enchantments to ensure your victory.

Leylines is a 4X game, a turn-based strategy game of exploration and conquest. The game features seven unique races with each their own tech tree; over 180 units in total, including summons and customizable hero units; and 90 diverse spells. Fast gameplay that avoids micromanagement; tactical terrain effects; and local multiplayer with hotseat and/or splitscreen.

"Leylines has many advanced options that allow you to have fun creating power according to their own preferences." - 8AppStore

"I really like the intense variety between the races ... you’ve got some amazing variety." - Jay

META

A parody of amateur adventure design, this metagame consists of a simple treasure hunting game, and a complex editor needed to complete it. The editor and its assistant Cuppit are all part of the game; anyone involved in game or level design should appreciate the humor.

The editor is an exercise of twisted logic and lateral thinking. You have to see it to believe it; with its offbeat controls, inventory items that kill you, and intentional misspellings, it's the weirdest thing since sliced bread!

META is based on Adventure Game Studio, the platform for most of our games, and is runner-up for two AGS Awards.

"A great game, with some of the best puzzles I have ever seen in an AGS game. Kudos!" - David Cooper

"Possibly the most original concept I've ever seen in an AGS game! ... The puzzles are deviously ingenious. This is what I like - thinking outside the box!" - Trovatore

Larry Lotter and the Test of Time

It is time for final exams at the Magic University, and notorious slacker Larry Lotter is about to flunk all of them because he spent less time studying and more time drinking beer. His last hope is to cheat like there's no tomorrow! Using a spell to reverse time, he gets the chance to do his day over again until he passes. His Destiny has spoken!

Join Rob Greasley, Calliope DeRanger and Professor Mumblemore in this short Harry Potter parody, loosely based on the greatly admired books by J.K. Rowling. Watch the other characters interact in real time, and spin time back and forth to interfere. The game is fully voiced.

"Combines sarcasm with innovative gameplay and great graphics ... the overall story is very entertaining." - FrostClick

"Great little game! I love how the characters wander round doing their own thing and talk to each other." - Pelican

A Tale of Two Kingdoms

The ancient kingdom of Theylinn is beset by enemies. Within the castle walls, nobles vie for the old king's favor, and not everybody is happy with the sole heir to the throne, princess Rhiannon.

Meanwhile, danger approaches, in the form of an invading army, a hostile giant, and a mercenary troop who are ancient enemies of the Theylann king...

A Tale of Two Kingdoms is a graphical adventure in the world of Celtic mythology and fairy tales, with many sidequests and alternate endings. It was named Game of the Month by PC Zone UK, Game of the Year by Screen7, and won four AGS Awards including Best Animation and Best Puzzles.

"If ATOTK came out during the genre's heyday, we'd probably be waxing nostalgic about it today in the same breath as King's Quest."Games for Windows

"Most of the hand-drawn backgrounds are little works of art ... It offers a replay value that’s unseen in most adventures." - HardcoreGaming101

"A Tale of Two Kingdoms simply blew me away ... This game is a great achievement ... Final Grade: A" - Just Adventure

Vector Vendetta

A frantic and addictive shooting game in vector graphics: kill the evil polygons before they kill you! Who needs a plot? Just sit back, dodge, and keep blasting until you reach the boss monster!

Featuring twenty different enemies that chase you, snipe from the corners, or blast you with a frickin' laser beam; selectable upgrades to boost your speed or firepower; and several play modes and difficulty levels to keep it fresh. And of course it has a two-player mode to share the madness!

"First I thought this is too retro but hell, it's entertaining." - Matti

"Bless me, this is a brilliant little game! Anyone else so obsessed with this little gem?" - Musica Ferrum

Starship Quasar

On the starship Quasar, the lack of shore time causes tension to run high. The latest argument has proved too much, with each of the crew stalking off to different parts of the ship. To the medical officer, bringing these warring characters back together will be no easy task.

In this short adventure game, you control four different characters as they explore the ship, each with their own skills and reactions to the environment. Instead of on puzzle solving, the game focuses on the personalities of the characters and their interactions. The game is fully voiced.

"A science fiction tale whose restricted setting proves no obstacle to telling a compelling story." - Adventuregamers.com

"A competent and surprisingly pretty little adventure game that satisfyingly achieves what it set out to do." - PC Gamer

"As perfect a tribute to Sierra's classic Quest for Glory series as you could hope for." - Kotaku

"Arguably surpassing the series that Lori Ann and Corey Cole created with an intricate Nordic setting and deeper roleplaying mechanics." - HardcoreGaming101

"It's great to see a female-centric heroic quest." - Corey Cole

"The attention to detail is staggering ... Heroine’s Quest is a glorious adventure-RPG hybrid." - RockPaperShotgun

Indiana Rodent: Raiders of the Lost Cheese

In this fast-paced platform game, you take the role of the Mouse With The Hat and go in search of the vaunted Lost Cheese. Traverse forests, deserts, and the Halls of Illusion; jump over hedgehogs, hitch a ride on a turtle, and evade vicious snakes - all for the reward of more cheese than you could ever eat, and what more could a mouse want?

The game was made for a charity fundraiser that raised over $4000. It won two OROW awards and was runner-up for four AGS awards. As befits a platformer, it has hidden objects to collect, unlockable game modes, and the vicious Moby Duck as boss monster!

"Very good response and smooth scrolling, it was very satisfying to beat." - Ghost

Errand

Sara wants to go out and play in the sunshine, but she has a few errands to complete before she does that. Nothing special, just sweeping her room, feeding the dog, that sort of thing.

What could possibly go wrong?

Is it the hidden treasure map? The village of terrified elves, right in your kitchen? Surely a little girl can clean her room without being assaulted by a firebreathing dragon... right?

A short adventure game with two endings, voice acting, and epic soundtrack!

"I'm now kind of terrified about what state my daughter might leave the house in when she's a bit older though!!" - Captain D

Sub Terra Draconis

Newly hatched from an egg, our young dragon searches for the important things in life. And to a dragon, that means treasure! Search underground mazes and solve elaborate puzzles in your quest for gems, and see if you can hoard enough to impress the other dragons!

A classic puzzle challenge, featuring over a hundred levels and many different objects including treasure chests, replicators, floating balloons, fire beams, thieving elves, conveyor belts, gravity switches, and many more! Between all these traps, the levels require a good mixture of reflex action and thoughtful planning; and the varied mechanics keep things interesting to solve.

The puzzles are fair: no luck-based puzzles, no searching for walls you can walk through, and all time limits are optional.

Finally, a powerful level editor lets you make your own levels and share them on the Steam workshop.

"One of, if not the best puzzle game ever ... It's definetely worth a try for any puzzle fan. 4.9 / 5." - Reloaded.org

Oceanspirit Danish

A Shakespearean adventure! Watch Oceanspirit Dennis and his companions Ray and Mr. Cheeses as they stumble through the plot of Hamlet, order too much room service, and make a general mess out of Denmark.

There are lots of combat scenes with an innovative rune engine, and as befits a Shakespearean tragedy, most of the cast dies like mayflies. With dialogue written by The Bard himself, how can you resist a game like this? As Guildencheese says, "Squeak!"

MAGS contest winner.

"A great combat system, and a full on taste of a Shakespeare like story ... a recommended free adventure!" - Indie Retro News

"It's really funny! And well done." - AprilSkies

Herby

Search the maze for keys and treasure! John 'DRJ' Vanderaart is one of the first published game designers from the Netherlands, best known for "Eindeloos". Herby was his first game on the C64, which I played as a child. This is also my first game, as I did a remake in BASIC back then. Decades later I found out I still had the source code, so I decided to update it to more modern systems.

Featuring one maze by DRJ, one by myself, and a random maze generator; and the famous Popcorn as background music. Unlike the originals, this one has save points and an automap.

Sir Bob: Squire for Hire

In the legends of King Arthur, meet Sir Launcelot the Brave! Sir Sagramore the Just! And Sir... Bob... who I'm sure has a great personality!

Take the role of the eager but clumsy squire Bob; as nobles, soldiers, and the Lady of the Lake all say you're too wimpy to become a Knight. Can you prove them wrong?

This lighthearted adventure game features well-known and lesser-known characters from the King Arthur legends, taking inspiration from the famous classics and offering fun for all ages. Any similarity to any person actually named Bob, or for that matter Launcelot, is purely coincidental.

Walkthrough
Select text with your mouse to read the answers.


    What is the goal of the game?
  • To get the Ultimate Puzzle from Chrétien Jeaunes.
  • But for now, your primary goal should be getting into the subway.
  • From there, you can use the time machine to get to Chrétien.


    What's with all the verbs?
  • Infinite Monkeys uses the experimental MegaVerb system to give you more options.
  • You can right-click to open the panel, and you can drag verbs into a more convenient place.
  • Also, you can use the first letter of any verb as a hot key.
  • Basically, think of what you want to do, and then worry about how to do it.


    That angel is blocking the way into the subway; how do I get past him?
  • Since you're basically dead, he's waiting to escort you into heaven.
  • How does one avoid getting into heaven? There may be a hint on TV somewhere.
  • Consider the Seven Sins. If you perform all of them, the angel will leave in disgust.
  • Greed. Vanity. Wrath. Sloth. Gluttony. Lust. Envy.


    How do I get that apple from the musician, and what do I do with it?
  • You'll have to make sure he doesn't see you.
  • Put the big cowboy hat on his head, and he won't be able to see anything.
  • Note how it's a crabapple?
  • Try feeding it to the crab in the zoo.


    How do I get the key from the hotel, and what is it for?
  • Again, make sure the zombie doesn't see you.
  • You can distract him by moving the TV to face the zombie.
  • The key is to be used in a decidedly un-key-like fashion.
  • Put it under Radiant's chair to prevent it from wobbling.


    How do I get to Amsterdam?
  • It is floating high in the sky.
  • You'll need the whale's help for this, but it is asleep.
  • Pinch it with the crab to wake it up.


    How do I get out of Amsterdam again?
  • It's a far drop, isn't it?
  • If only you could fly...
  • Transform into a bird with the Bodyshift power.


    Can I help that recruiter guy?
  • He wants some paper to make flyers out of.
  • Give him the tarot deck, that should be plenty.
  • It belongs to Radiant, but he'll give it to you if you fix his chair.
  • Afterwards, look in the trees on the streets of London.


    I found an infinite monkey. What should I do with him?

  • Play to him a few times and you'll lose and get envious.
  • You can't play unless you fix his chair first, because it wobbles.
  • Put something flat under it.
  • How about the key from the hotel?


    What about Lust?
  • Amsterdam is the place to be.
  • Go to a naughty show in the XXX cinema.
  • The geek is blocking the way... now what would a geek like to have?
  • Give him the tricorder that's hidden in the tube in the moonbase.


    How do I show my Sloth?
  • Once you have the welding watch, go to the zoo.
  • Cut open the cage with the welding watch.
  • That animal is a sloth. Give it to the angel.


    And what about Gluttony?
  • You'll have to eat something extravagant.
  • Try the McDragon's in Amsterdam.
  • They want an exotic animal in exchange - how about that crab?


    Now I must be Greedy!
  • The obvious demonstration of greed is stealing something.
  • How about that fancy watch, for sale in Amsterdam?
  • Of course you'll have to distract the vendor. Maybe somebody else can help?
  • That recruitment guy is very distractive.
  • Give the vendor a flyer, and the recruitment guy will come talk to him.
  • If you don't have a flyer, the monkey should be able to help you get it.


    I'm angry that I can't show my Wrath!
  • That's easy, go kill something.
  • Perhaps you'd like a weapon first? Fizzii has one.
  • If you give her something scary, she'd be happy to trade.
  • The elf from the zoo surely has a scary toy.
  • Use the welding watch to free the elf.
  • Afterwards, Fizzii and her axe will be found at the zoo.


    Why am I not Vain enough?
  • Try to make yourself look important
  • Like by wearing a crown.
  • The vendor in the streets of London has one.
  • Since you can't afford it, ask him what else he wants.
  • Kill the unicorn for him, and you can have the crown.


    Okay, I made it to the subway. How do I get past the dancers?
  • Do those costumes remind you of anything?
  • What is played on a board of squares?
  • The floor is part of a chessboard, and the dancers are pieces. You can move them accordingly.
  • Bishop moves diagonally, rook moves orthagonally, and so forth.
  • Once you've gotten past all that, try shaking the jukebox.


    I can't speak to Chrétien!
  • Your language skills aren't good enough.
  • There's a technological solution to this.
  • The moonbase has a translation computer on the far right.
  • If you can't get back there, remember where your rocket crashed.
  • Use the welding watch to repair it and fly back.


    How do I get past Osama?
  • He sees you unless you try to be stealthy.
  • Try putting on the black cloak.
  • Also, you need to get rid of that lava lamp you're carrying.
  • Can you destroy it somewhere, or can something destroy it for you?
  • Remember that bouncing ball in the hotel? Put the lava lamp underneath.


    Okay, so what do I tell Chrétien now that I can talk to him?
  • He likes games.
  • You should have a board game by now. Give it to him.
  • Once you've got his book, take it back to Radiant and Fizzii.
  • Ta dah!
