Project Octo:
A downloadable game

***Don't like this aesthetic? Neither do we! We will eventually have legitimate artwork created for this project that much more accurately reflects the quality of its written content.

Development Updates

We have been chugging away at -Project Octo- and wanted to share a few fun developments for our replayable one-shot:
(or should we call it a multi-shot?)

  • The Title might be set as "Eight Arms of Adventure"
  • We have all eight Octopus hero concepts created and names for them too 
  • We have chosen the enemy factions of 'Ribbonreach,' the land this game takes place in
  • We have four "Reef Zones" conceptualized, with plans for 4 more - these are the modular areas your cephalopods will travel through during your adventure
  • We have settled on 4 core attributes for the hero character, with simplicity and flexibility in mind (what do you think?)
    • Might
    • Mind
    • Motion
    • Medical


Check out a sneak peak of some of the heroes below--
