About
PARPG is a post-apocalyptic roleplaying game currently moving towards a first techdemo release.
Agreed upon key elements
- Singleplayer RPG. No plans for multiplayer support. Coop gameplay not a priority.
- Post-apocalyptic setting. Story, setting and game mechanics details are yet to be discussed.
- Written in Python (2.6x branch). Utilizing the FIFE game engine.
- Isometric 2d graphics instead of going for full 3d engine complexity.
- Open source code and asset licensing.
- Non-profit. The game and all tools will be free of charge for everyone.
- Open development philosophy. Public development wiki and forums. Anonymous SVN checkout.
- Meaningful choices and consequences. Multiple paths to complete quests, including non-violent ways.
- Tactical, turnbased combat.
- Emphasis on well-written detailed dialogue.
Help wanted
The project is still in the early concept phase. There is some early contribution section at the wiki now that contains information for the ones who would like to support PARPG development at this early point. We’re currently especially looking for Python / C++ programmers as well as for a lead writer for the story.

PARPG is not meant to be a “new Fallout” game. It’s rather meant to be partially inspired by the first two games of the series. Other sources of inspiration are Planescape: Torment, Arcanum and the Realms of Arkania series. And these are just my influences. The other developers on the team are surely inspired by some other RPGs as well.

Looking forward to PARPG – glad to hear someone is moving forward with a 2D isometric rpg – too many recent isometrics are 3D with a tilted camera, and it shows. Looking forward to following it closely!
