The insane kinda-RPGs of MDickie

[ropetight]

The dog exploding broke me.

Remake of the Super City in 3D graphics.

Super City (2016)
Create your own superhuman and cross paths with up to 150 other heroes & villains in the ultimate shared universe! Decide where your loyalties lie and fight for control of every corner of the city as your own unique story plays out. Inheriting its combat system from wrestling, this game supercharges the action with new powers, technology, costumes and locations!

* Also known as "Super Sim" on stores where the original title was disputed.

Just look at all the chaos in 2D and imagine it in glorious 3D!!!


Infinite quests and over 200 endings!!!
Day one purchase.

i would highly suggest picking up the you testament if you can get it under a $1 usd (i.e. right now at the time of this posting). absolutely ridiculous, using a wrestling engine to make an interesting version of the new testament where peter chokes out a centurion and simon beats some dumb bitch to death while jesus gets baptized in the river just at the bottom of the screen.

That sounds biblically accurate in my mind.

So, this is kind of a brawler by the looks of the videos. How many move sets can you perform? gamepad supported... hmmmm.

honestly, it's been a good bit since i've played but if you've played his wrestling game, it has all the same moves. plenty of button mashing!

You lot weren't kidding, Hard time is fucking nuts and I haven't had this kind of fun in ages.

This applies to any MDickie game. There's something special in how raw and janky they are.

It's literally just a dude who made a wrestling engine deciding to make other games with wildly different settings - all in the same engine (or two engines - his 3D and his 2D engine, but they're mechanically very similar).

Prison game, school game, superhero game, island survival game, zombie apocalypse game, Bible game. It's utterly ridiculous, but massive fun.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Tis the charm. I probably need more religion in my life because of my heathenistic tendencies, so we know my first game.

Man if the guy could work out a proper third person camera with mouse support we'd really have a superhit.

I reckon this dev would be a fun person to spend an evening getting drunk with.

probably depends how good your wrestling skills are

He's onto something with all of these wolves introduced to the prison system. A creative solution and something I can get behind.

This is the one I'd recommend, and I do very much consider it an RPG. Character stats weight more heavily than player skill, provided you aren't cheesing it. There isn't as much meme factor as with his other games, since it's a straight-up wrestling game, but it's the one where the mechanics are at their most harmonious with each other. The organic situations that may arise from beefs with other wrestlers, a clause in your contract, or just the general wackiness of the game make for a very engaging experience. Most RPGs don't do system-driven emergent storytelling half as well as this game.

I've only played some of his other games for a while to have a laugh. In this one, I've clocked 15 hours in just a few days, and I've never really cared for wrestling. It's really good.

Oh, it's out!

 

[*-*/\--/\~]

I had no idea this existed and now I wish it had remained so. Eeeeew.

 

[Fargus]

Alien tranny in sombrero named Fat Tits steals a gun and kills a bunch of people in jail in the first few minutes of the game and then guards and inmates just casually ask it to return the weapon. Nigga in varsity jacket strolls around with a flamethrower. Then jail gets flooded.

Classic Hard Time.

Does it have dismemberment like the free non-steam version on his site does? I remember reading it doesnt. You could dismember and kill people and then kill more people during resulting memorial matches. It was funny, it would just destroy the guy's stats or make him retire outright. Best way to do that was to make a pile of a bunch of objects and keep knocking a guy down on top of those, each counting as a hit with a chance to sever limbs.

 

[Deadyawn]

It does as of a few days ago:

- The level of gore can be raised to risk losing limbs in particularly dangerous spots! (But this is still realistically rare)

That came along with an update that added a court system like in Hard Time. My booker won't stop taking me there to try and weasel out of our contract.

Prison Workshop
Mods officially come to Hard Time to offer an alternate universe!
For the 1st time in Hard Time's long history, modding is officially supported and baked right into the launch options on Steam! I wasn't expecting a prison game to involve much modding, but there are so many philosophical differences that it's good for fans to have their own pressure valves instead of me making everything optional. It starts humbly with making things more or less likely, as well as importing classics from wrestling, but will no doubt grow from here with your input and support.

 

[solemgar]

ok, this is an insane visual I wasn't aware it had been introduced to the dickie world

6:30 for the timestamp, let it cook for half a minute

I thought The you testament could not be topped. I was wrong.

"Milk America Great Again" dance.

Well, we have to see that.
