Survivors of Ragnarök is a city-building-management-survival game about chickens.


Explore

Lead your company of dwarfs into high mountain passes, deep into dangerous forests, scorching deserts, and into the dark underbelly of the earth and back.





Raiders of Ragnarok

It's adventure mode with a cooler name. Reclaim your fortress, venture into the wilderness, explore other settlements, and delve into depe dungeons in search of rare and valuable artifacts in THE BEST rogue-like-platformer-rpg yet to be made.


Unique and Quirky Creatures

Encounter Bizarre and dangerous creatures from dwarf-eating-tiger-snails, flying pigs, bishop-fishes, and Chickthulhu (100% our idea and totally not suggested by an annoying community member named Thoktaz).


Yeah we know, it's awesome.


Gotta Catch 'em All!

Unlock dozens of unique dwarfs only to die by your hands moments later.

      

      

     

Single Player Campaign

With all the dry humor, charm, wit, and satire you've come to expect from us bundled in an epic historically accurate retelling of the events after everyone's favorite end of the world scenario (next to the zombie-apocalypse, but trust me we have that covered). Expect to be taking part in such epic and grand historical battles such as the Battle of Basing and the Battle of Svolder.

Bellow we have provided a historically accurate depiction of the Battle of Clontarf on April 23, 1024 (your gonna have to trust us on this one guys, it's legit).


Beautiful Hand-Drawn Pixel Art

Now this might just be our personal bias, but we believe we have some pretty sweet pixel art. Each and every pixel lovingly hand-drawn and animated frame by frame.

Zap! Zap! Zap! Here at French Rice Games one of our many jobs is to bring you bug fixes for unfinished games that need a lot of work in a relatively late manner. We could give you some boring details about life and only being being developed by two individuals who both are full-time students and have part time jobs... but we won’t bore you with all those boring bits. We’ll simply just copy and paste some wonderful patch notes you guys might find entertaining and continue on with development.

  • Added New tree that is part of the plant system.
  • Fixed Plants growth better managed.
  • Fixed Aggressive mob pathfinding.
  • Fixed Aggressive mob graphical glitches.

Alongside some minor bug fixes we are gearing up our combat system for use with equipment. Here’s what we have in mind.


SoR Stat System


Base Stats:

  • Vitality (health, ammount of food and sleep needed)
  • Strength (damage, and a few jobs.)
  • Endurance(base armor, length of time a dwarf can be starving or tired)
  • Willpower(Magical skill and defence)
  • Agility (Critical Hits, Acuracy and speed, some jobs)
  • Luck

These start out randomly between 10 and 15.
50% of the Exp given for every other task(skill usage) will be given to the Dwarfs main level.
The Dwarfs main level take 3x to 5x as much Exp to level up.
Base Stats increase with the dwarfs level, NOT by usage.
Base Stat Level Calculation: level = ((maxLevel + geneBonus + personalityBonus) /maxLevel)*dwarfLevel)
Static Values:
maxLevel = 1000
geneBonus = (0<->10)*20
personalityBonus = (100 if it is the dwarfs personality)

Personalities:

  • Energetic - Vitality
  • Hotheaded- Strength
  • Stubborn- Endurance
  • Reserved- Willpower
  • Lively- Agility
  • Perky- Luck

Each personality will increase a base stat improvement rate by about 10%.


Genetics:

Genes effect base stats by 0 to 10%.
A random value will be determined that will create a number between 0 and 5.
That value is the dwarfs gene for that particular stat.
The gene multiplied by 20 equals the bonus.


Skills:

  • Gatherer
  • Hunter
  • Woodsman
  • Miner
  • Carpenter
  • Smith
  • StoneCutter
  • Cook
  • BrewMaster
  • Tanner
  • (Comming soon, skills for each weapon class and type)

Skills level with usage following the function: (4*(x^3))/5Genes that control this function may be added later.


Equiptment Slots:

  • Head
  • Neck
  • Chest
  • Ring (left hand)
  • Ring (right hand)
  • Right Hand
  • Left Hand

Demo:
I get a window, in which wasd move a character around.
F1 shows my character coordinates
F3 resets character position.
e lets me add terrain, but it seems to behave oddly relative to the character i can move with wasd.
there is no mouse buttons for doing anything, at all.
a few of the screenshots seem to suggest there can be some buttons to do stuff, but i don't see them.
There is no clean way to exit, but that seems ok, it exits of it's own accord fairly promptly.

Is there actually a game here?

... I have absolutely no idea what to do in this game.
The wiki isn't exactly helpful, either.

But I'm sure that'll get better.

If you can fix the crashing issue, I'm sure you'll get people to donate $50 to this game. I can play for about 10 seconds before crashing.

The game won't even launch anymore. Don't think I'll be waiting around to see if it gets any better.

Haven't been playing it for very long, but it is certainly amazing right now, despite being a bit buggy and lacking content! If you like the sims, minecraft, adorable pixel chickens, and dwarves who climb blocks like newborn kittens climb stairs, you will love this game!

FrenchRiceGames, I am disappoint D: This game is in development for almost one full year. The last updates added gimmicky nonsense like pumpkin patches and candy, rather than adding to the base of the game itself. Other games in a similar state of development offer much more actual gameplay and potential. (Project Zomboid, Towns, heck even Kenshi) Reading the update logs makes me feel like the developers don't even care about the game. I mean sure they pump in tons of self-made pixel art of things…
