There’s some cool RPGs being made in Australia. We’ve spoken before about Broken Roads, but it’s not alone. Odd Gods is another tactical RPG out of Melbourne, but this one has a very different hook.
Odd Gods is all about the ’90s, while playing in the ’90s. Instead of rolling a mage or a paladin, your “subcultures” are things like skaters, skapunks, ravers, goths and jocks. And instead of turns going in order, Odd Gods is using a simultaneous system similar to Frozen Synapse, where all moves are executed concurrently.
Developers Inn Between Worlds have given us a string of art to show from the game. There’s a look at the various subcultures, environments and backgrounds, as well as some of the game from the isometric viewpoint.
Odd Gods is currently without a publisher, although the game has received support from Film Victoria. The game did the rounds at PAX Australia a few years ago as well,

The game is still in the early stages of development, but with the creative lead from Torment: Tides of Numenera joining the project, I touched base with Broken Roads' game director to find out where the Aussie RPG was headed.
