Hearkenwold (an IceBlink Engine RPG)

UPDATE: Hearkenwold's next chapter (includes ch1 and ch2) is now available in the IceBlinkMini (IBmini) RPG app currently in the Google Play BETA channel (have a look under our other apps to find it). The IBmini app also has available for download from within the app: The Elderin Stone and Lanterna.

Story and Turn-based role playing game (RPG) implementing a classic old-school computer RPG style.

Story by Dorateen
Coding and some artwork by slowdive_fan
IceBlink Engine and port to Android by slowdive_fan (aka me)

WARNING: SAVE OFTEN! This adventure by Dorateen is very old school. There are a number of encounters that are possible early on that a poorly equipped and under skilled party will find very difficult, even near impossible. It is a risk reward kind of thing. A party size of six will be helpful. If an NPC gives you a warning, be careful. Sometimes, there is no warning if you wander from the path too much. Yet exploring in this module often yields nice treats... decisions, decisions. SAVE OFTEN!!

Here is Dorateen's description:
"This is a work-in-progress demo of Hearkenwold. A classic party-based adventure heavily inspired by the SSI Gold Box games, and in fact uses art assets (sprites and some tiles) from the Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures archives. This campaign takes advantage of the IceBlink engine's turn-based combat system and branching conversations, including "Party Chat" style dialogues where options are available to characters in the party, according to various conditionals such as class, race, and ability scores.

The adventure begins with the party fleeing an attack on a feudal manor, and seeking refuge in Castle Hearkenwold. From there, they can be enlisted into service of the Kingdom, or try to explore on their own. Eventually this will be an open world sandbox style campaign. For now, there are areas partially filled with content that exists around a more structured quest line. This demo can be considered to contain the first two "chapters" of the story, although more is being updated and expanded.

While not set in a specific world setting, Hearkenwold does draw upon the Dungeons & Dragons experience, with the aspiration of creating a pen and paper, rather than cinematic, type feel."

Features:
- NO ads or in-app stuff.
- turn-based combat similar in style to the SSI Gold Box games.
- great RPG story telling conversation system.

Progress Reporting Feature:
A fun new way to share your play through experience with others. There is a toggle button on the main map screen labeled "PR" (bottom right toggle button). Pressing this button will turn Progress Reporting on and off. If you do not wish to share your play through experience, no problem, just turn off Progress Reporting. If you do wish to share, leave the "PR" button on. If Progress Reporting is on, then at a number of milestone events, it will send your party's current stats to our Google Analytics Dashboard. I will post the listings of Progress Reports to our forums (see our website link below) for others to share in the experience. No personally identifiable information is collected, just information about your party. The tag that will separate your Progress Report from others is your main PC's name. We are excited to see how others are enjoying our adventure stories so we hope you enjoy this new feature as well. I'd like to add a few different threads for full party, duo, and solo run play throughs.

The IceBlink Engine is inspired by some of my favorite cRPGs (many being old retro style RPGs) such as the SSI Gold Box Games, original Bard's Tale, Ultima, and the Infinity Engine games (like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale) and my 6+ years of experience with building adventure modules in Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2.

4 ★ Pretty cool so far, just started playn. But cant equip armor to any of my created characters. Maybe a glitch with created characters? Please help as my characters are dying quick while trying to fight in the buff LOL. I don't seem to have music either....would love to rock out to Maiden while kickn a*@! 4/27/16 Thanks for quick reply. I have figured out the armor problem... I wasn't usn right slot at first. Thanks!

5 ★ been playing for 3 days, I've finished the main quest before kelton manor, I can't fight the troll king for some reason, nor the giant bugbears that want his head, there's no south wall yet, is there something you gain from the urn? also choosing the option to give peace to the dead? does praying for a miracle actually raise the dead? AMAZING GAME!!! PLEASE GIVE ME ANSWERS T_T

5 ★ Pretty much my favourite game I've downloaded. Unfortunately i cannot seem to progress further. I am supposed to head south of Khyn but i cannot. I've done everything else talked to everyone else and I dont know how to get around this. Maybe Im missing something or if the game is not finished, but i sure would like to play the rest

5 ★ More open-ended and less story-driven than Bree Arts' other entries, this game has a very similar feel to Spidersoft's "Exile" trilogy for early Windows. Very fun story-light party-based RPG.

5 ★ This is a great style of game for fantasy role players and adventure seekers. It reminds me of pool of radiance in the combat sense. It seems a little buggy and incomplete but still gave it 5 stars for the challenge and hopefully the cliffhanger. I've heard we might see more of this awesome game in the future. Will it still be free?

4 ★ This game has a lot going for it, but at it's current state it doesn't seem to function too well. Quests don't seem to activate in the log save for the initial quest that is given to you. Paths that lead to invisible walls that are clearly meant to be an area transition, doors that don't do anything, inconsisten sprite art, and no map are some of the issues that the game currently has but will probably be fixed some time later.

5 ★ Fun fun game. But there's a bug after you do the instruments quest and you goto back to the bars and tell her the instruments belong to someone else and she gives them up instead of paying the 1000g for them you can keep doing that quest for 10 exp over and over I leveled up my guys 3 levels non stop there... lol I can't find the trolls I need to get the crown. There's also a cave I can not go into by the tavern. But great game so far

1 ★ Good concept, but suffers with mysteriously lucky opponents, when your entire party can be beaten to death by a single mage who's out of magic and none of your party are held, the mage isn't protected against weapons yet every attack misses... You know something is badly wrong.

3 ★ Hard dm. These 1st level characters are made of jello. I roll better than chance in real life (micro tk. Look it up) but that aint your fault. Still its hard to enjoy. Seems like lowly goblins have better starting equipment. I guess I could start with more fighters but should i have to? As always the low level spell casters are pretty much worthless. If your gonna go tsr than go all the way with a thac0 and a less is more ac. Otherwize we need some more starting spells or some monsters with shoddier equipment off the bat. I thank you for your efforts though. Better than any phone game i have the skills to create. Plus the npcs are well written. I may keep toying with this a bit but it feels too much like ssr dragon lance and not enough like gateway to the savage frontier. Play the two for an hour each (dosbox) then get back to me.

5 ★ I do love this game. Its super fun. A little buggy and hard at times. But overall a really fun game. Im stuck at a part now where I can't find Kelton manot at all. Dont know if im missing it or what

5 ★ I really enjoyed playing through the story and starting to explore so much that I was almost getting lost. It took me two attempts because my first party sucked but that was all part of the game. It was very frustrating at the end to not be told that I'd completed all of the current content. I wasn't aware it was a work in progress and ran around for hours at the end trying to figure out what was next.

4 ★ Playing and I've started with no gear for some reason? Is that how it's supposed to be? Also I've got a character bleeding out and there isn't an option to stop it, I healed one with a minor heal spell and I was hoping my SP would regenerate before he bled out but that isn't going to happen by the looks of it and there's no out of combat bandage wound so I'm stuck watching my char die, is this how you intended it? Is the game just a disposable hero game?

4 ★ Gameplay is Solid. Story is good. VERY FUN overall. Ugly Graphics though are making it hard for me to keep going. It seems like the terrain and graphics could easily be swapped out for something cleaner. Given the possibilities there is no reason for things to be so blurry unless it was intentional. If it is intentional please reconsider?

3 ★ I would give this game 5 stars if it wasnt for the glitches in the quests. After the dialog the characters just disappeared, making it impossible to continue. Right now i am stuck and cant go on.

4 ★ A classic game where u can create your 6 member party.looted encounters are minimal.One thing i am disappppointed maybe the encounters are pretty fixed which means not random encounters and you cannot farm at repeated encounters. So leveling is pretty hard. And also when fighting u cannot view the remaining hit points lwft on the screen. No point looking at the ac?These ar the minius points otehr than that its pretty good.
