An Unexpectedly Green Journey (orc life-simulator) [1.5+ Million Words] OUT NOW!

@ChanceOfFire @VenomB @Sujan_Dhakal

I’ll ask them when I get the files back after the content review. I’ll be well chuffed if it appears on Steam:)

As to the States and Alliances, it is very long. I’ll keep the idea to break it up in mind for a later time, since it will be simple to do. I’m not sure yet how many other pages might be added to the stats screen- with Green I kept adding bits and bobs so a player could revel in their legacy but sometimes the pages got too long there too!

Cheers for the good vibes all of you!

What are you waiting for? :rofl: Put the Steam page here (also put it up on your OP so it’s easier for people to find).

Keep us posted on the content review and copyedit process!

Thank you, you are all the most wonderful of wonderful gits! In the best sense of the word.

Now, all you orcs out there, spread the word. Wishlist! Bully your goblin mates into it. Moreso, bully the humies and bird-bones too. Dwarves don’t really take to bullying so just kill those gits.

Oh, and batter a few halflings and get them to wishlist too… Nah, scratch that. Just eat the delicious walking meals.

Haha! Thanks MrWicho01, a fine orc you are.

I have found a special place in the corner of my hut, under a stone, where I can stash all the lovely shiny shiny!

EDIT: I first typed ‘a crooner of my hut’- Hiding money inside a singer living under a stone? I assumed typing over a million words in about a year would improve my typing but sadly I have gotten much, much worse.

Just want to say- I noticed, from the pictures on the Steam Store, that the lovely folks at Hosted Games have made the choice arrow green, when it is usually blue! :smiley: Great touch!

I was being a sneaky little gobbo and popped my snozz into the Steam store and saw… RELEASE DATE October 2024 (sort of rhymes)

By Krog it is happening!

:boar: + :green_square: = orc

EDIT: May as well repost the link. I know it says October 2024 on the same link further up but it didn’t used to so it is not truly double posting it. Yes, not truly only actually.

Orcstandingly orcsome and orcredible.

(I am now actually wondering if it is mere happenstance that the game is released then or part of a cunning plan!?!)

If it is purposeful, than those who did it are geniorcsis!

They also made the in-game choice arrows GREEN!

That is definitely on purpose then. Seems there are many krog followers over at cog

UPDATE

Recent communications, passed between myself and the Cog/HG offices on the backs of fleeturkeys and plain’s bats, have unveiled secret news.

Well… not that secret.

I am getting the game files back mid-August, which I will then review before sending back to HG. I’m a bit nervous about getting the files back as it is a long game- and not sure what this ‘reviewing’ will entail. Perhaps, during this time, I will also be required to make a free demo, like so many of the HG and CoG games.

After this, and without the interference of the perils of daily life, it should be full steam ahead to Orctober!

That is an interesting question as to what you would include in a free demo. The game doesn’t lend itself to an easy chapter cutoff point to use.
