This really is one of the most unexpected games I've ever played. Like HOLY CRAP the music is so good! The battling stuff is so simple yet enough to describe it's own mechanic. And the plot, it's... You really should experience it yourself.
Question about the bestiary, containing potential spoiler below:
Is there any actual entry for #14 in the bestiary? I couldn't find one despite multiple play throughs and much searching. Also no play throughs online I saw found one. Is it supposed to be a reference to the reclining guy you can never access?
Can you help a dummy to do the same? I downloaded lutris and tried searching for it but didn't have any luck. Also tried opening the .exe and .rpg files, no luck there either.
Of course! In Lutris hit the + button in the upper left corner. Select "add locally installed game" and in the Game info tab under the Runner drop-down menu select Wine. Then under the Game options tab add the Executable. I left the .exe in the downloads folder which might not be the best practice but it works! I didn't change anything else on this page. Same with the Runner options and System options tabs, I left everything there the same. After that try playing it in Lutris, and if it runs you can add it to Steam and should be good to go! The controls need to be remapped but that's pretty straightforward. Let me know if this works :)
i love it, spent 3 hours playing it (i know im slow) i love the music and the unexpected ending. i would like to ask how long it took to make this and how long you have been using this software? Thank you and also you have sick humor in your game!
i've been using the software for a long time, i made "megaman sprite game" with it 10 years ago! the game was made as a little side project that I worked on infrequently, so it took 6 months from start to finish but i wasn't working on it a lot during that time!
cool! I’m going to try to make a game using the software that you used and I just wanted to see how long it took for you to do it. Thank you for answering!
you can't delete maps unless it's the most recent one, but you can delete everything about the map so it's restored to a blank slate. I think it's in "delete map data" or something but I can't check because i'm away from my computer for a few weeks. as for transporting heroes, you can simply use doors! if you need any more help i recommend signing up for the Slime Salad forums or discord or consulting the OHR wiki
How did you get it to run? I'm new to my deck and Linux and lost lol. I downloaded and unzipped it in the download folder, tried running the .exe and .rpg files, neither worked. I read elsewhere in the thread someone used lutris so I downloaded that, nothing found.
seems like bots keep posting porno gifs on here. i am going away for 3 weeks soon but i'll try and keep them away. if any appear please report them. thank you.
This game was so funny. I love all the NPC names so much, all the character designs were great, and I discovered a lot of cool new music from the soundtrack. Love the balance of silliness with semi-serious lore too. A+++ game, no complaints.
i feel like it could be fairly likely for some characters from this to show up in later games, seeing as three man was from mega man sprite game, and there are actually a lot of cameos from mega man sprite characters in some of her other games> it'd be so funny to, like, see franken and the protagonist on their honeymoon just randomly in some future game in a few years or something>
i just like it is all, i've been using it for decades! i never enjoyed making things with RPG maker. i couldn't figure out how to get my own graphics into it and gave up. OHR has a unique flavour.
this game is funny, has a lot of heart, and I especially loved the pixel art. even the small sprites of the characters are unique (except the repeating arthropod joke) and full of personality. thank you for making this game!
Put this up as donationware, crowdfund for a more polished/longer version please as this reminds me a lot of 'Doom & Destiny' style deconstruction of RPGs but better :)
Dunkey literally hasn't mentioned this game (or anything else) other than Donkey Kong games/history for the past week+ so dunno what you're talking about.
Thank You for making this game playable on Linux! I really enjoyed this game I hope you make more works that expand upon this world. I really like the world you've made.
Hello, when I try to run it on linux it returns the error: “error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2_mixer-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”
I've read through the comments and installed libsdl2_mixer-2.0-0 already, is there anything I'm missing??
i'm afraid i don't know anything about linux so i'm unable to offer help myself, but you could try downloading the latest Nightly Version of OHRRPGCE and running franken.rpg with it! http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Downloads
*Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. The package name was more specific than what I'm used to downloading through the terminal.*
I'm having the same issue. I'm on Ubuntu but I can't figure out how to install sdl2_mixer. I tried downloading it through the terminal but it's telling me it can't find the package. I might just have the wrong package name but I can't find anything on google. Assuming it can be downloaded through the terminal, what is the correct package name?
hello! i downloaded the mac version, but whenever i try to open it, i get an error message that says i do not have permission to open the application “franken.” do you any way to get around this? thanks!
followed the readme instructions to a T, hasn't worked for me D: idk if it's because i'm on an M1 mac and not intel, but nothing i do will allow me to open it.

Any chance this will get ported to Android?
This really cheered me up, ty.

I found #14, you have to search the globe very carefully.
great game undertale quality
Lol at Douleth, Grarry, and the rest of the town inhabitants 😆
Just got to the castle. This music is DOPE <3
Someone pls tell me how to run this on Steam Deck I simply cannot get it to work :(
Don't worry I figured it out. Gotta run it through Lutris and then add it to Steam that way.
Can you help a dummy to do the same? I downloaded lutris and tried searching for it but didn't have any luck. Also tried opening the .exe and .rpg files, no luck there either.
Of course! In Lutris hit the + button in the upper left corner. Select "add locally installed game" and in the Game info tab under the Runner drop-down menu select Wine.

hot diggity I think it's working! Thank you so much!
Happy to help!! Enjoy :)

Im very sorry to ask another question, but how do you delete maps in OHRRPGCE? And also how do you transport heroes to other areas? sorry again.
you can't delete maps unless it's the most recent one, but you can delete everything about the map so it's restored to a blank slate. I think it's in "delete map data" or something but I can't check because i'm away from my computer for a few weeks. as for transporting heroes, you can simply use doors! if you need any more help i recommend signing up for the Slime Salad forums or discord or consulting the OHR wiki
Woah, I didn’t even realize you’re the one who made MegaMan Sprite Game. That’s amazing.
Just downloaded it and tried to play it on my steam deck. Is it normal that it only plays with 20fps? Just need some confirmation 😂
ya that's the FPS it runs at!
thanks for the clarification. Now I can enjoy it on my deck 👍
How did you get it to run? I'm new to my deck and Linux and lost lol. I downloaded and unzipped it in the download folder, tried running the .exe and .rpg files, neither worked. I read elsewhere in the thread someone used lutris so I downloaded that, nothing found.
I'm dumb, what do?
is it made with RPGmaker? and if is it, what version?
it's made with OHRRPGCE
oh okay thanks 😊

Any chance for franken 2?
probably not! i think the ending is very definitive.
ok
i feel like it could be fairly likely for some characters from this to show up in later games, seeing as three man was from mega man sprite game, and there are actually a lot of cameos from mega man sprite characters in some of her other games>
it'd be so funny to, like, see franken and the protagonist on their honeymoon just randomly in some future game in a few years or something>
is there even a real bestiary though
yea you press ESC to access the main menu and it's there.
oh i literally thought there was no menu because i tried pressing x and c which i'm used to in rg maker games
but i guess off uses escape also so maybe i'm just dumb>
aha! this was made in OHRRPGCE, not RPG maker!
yeah i read that in the credits but i didn't exactly know that while playing the game>
is there any particular reason you used that engine over rpg maker?
i just like it is all, i've been using it for decades! i never enjoyed making things with RPG maker. i couldn't figure out how to get my own graphics into it and gave up. OHR has a unique flavour.
this might be my favorite rpg released this year lmao>
this rocks honestly>
in so many ways>
Saw this game on the Jimquisition Game of the Year awards, so I'm downloading it!
this game is funny, has a lot of heart, and I especially loved the pixel art. even the small sprites of the characters are unique (except the repeating arthropod joke) and full of personality. thank you for making this game!
Put this up as donationware, crowdfund for a more polished/longer version please as this reminds me a lot of 'Doom & Destiny' style deconstruction of RPGs but better :)
I have no words. I'd heard the ending was something else, and it did not disappoint.
literally smile across my face the whole game
Dunkey sent me
Dunkey literally hasn't mentioned this game (or anything else) other than Donkey Kong games/history for the past week+ so dunno what you're talking about.
its an older vid
donkey kong kicks ass
This was an awesome deconstruction of RPGs. I was laughing and smiling the whole time. :)
OH GOD, THIS IS SO COOL!!!! IT TOUCHES MY HEARTSTRINGS, MAKES ME LAUGH, AND THE MUSIC IS SO GOOD!
I would love it if you made more stuff like this. PLEASE.
YEES, COOOOOL.
Thank You for making this game playable on Linux! I really enjoyed this game I hope you make more works that expand upon this world. I really like the world you've made.
jogo muito bom mas achei meio curto, ele me surpreendeu com o final.

what distro are you running? on arch it worked after i installed the 'sdl2_mixer' package
*Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. The package name was more specific than what I'm used to downloading through the terminal.*
