My brother Matt released his latest game this week, Battle for Wayland Keep.

For quite a while now he’s been working on his first RPG, Ortus, a sprawling epic in the vein of the Infinity Engine games. Battle for Wayland Keep is a smaller preview adventure using the Ortus engine (wonder where he got that idea). It can be quite taxing on your PC, especially RAM-wise, so I wouldn’t try it on a netbook. Otherwise, though, do check it out– it’s worth your time.

The first Monsters’ Den is built from 21,091 lines of ActionScript.

The more advanced expansion/sequel, Book of Dread, ran to 30,024 lines of code.

The game I made with EA, Dragon Age Journeys, has a whopping 58,667 lines.

My new project, Monsters’ Den: Godfall, is currently at.. 11,509 lines. It’s much more efficiently written than the old Monsters’ Den engine but still, I have a lot of work ahead of me.
