Legendary, award-winning RPG designers and game industry veterans Brenda Brathwaite and Tom Hall are teaming up to create a classic, old-school RPG reminiscent of the true masterworks in the genre!
Brathwaite got her start on the classic Wizardry® series of role-playing games, having worked on every award-winning game in the series, before moving on to work on Dungeons & Dragons®, while Tom Hall's visionary design on Commander Keen™, Anachronox™ and DOOM™ set the standard for character development, world design and over-the-top immersion. We want to get back to our roots and create an old-school game worthy of 30 years of RPG fan devotion.

Loot Drop is an indie game development studio founded in November 2010 and home to 30+ year game industry veterans Brenda Brathwaite, John Romero and Tom Hall and many other talented people devoted to making great games. We are 100% indie and dedicated to staying that way. We have never taken VC or angel funding and have resisted two buyout offers so we could stay this way. Our developers have designed and worked on ground-breaking and award-winning titles respected throughout the world including games in the seminal Dungeons & Dragons®, Wizardry®, Ghost Recon™, Ultima™, Bard's Tale™, Commander Keen™, DOOM™, Quake®, The Sims™, Mortal Kombat™, MechAssault™ and Jagged Alliance® series. More than anything, we love games, love our people and believe in fun! We are incredibly dedicated to game design, game art, game audio and game programming. In fact, there are five members of our team who have done nothing but make games for over 30 years! We are both players and seasoned developers of RPGs. Among our favorite RPGs are Ultima™ IV, Chrono Trigger™, Chrono Cross™, Wizardry® VII: Crusaders of the Dark Savant, Planescape®: Torment™, World of Warcraft®, Diablo™, Ultima™ III, Beytrayal at Krondor™, Final Fantasy® VIII and Legend of Zelda®: Link to the Past™. Our team is experienced in RPG design and dedicated to making Old School RPG the best it can be.

Gather your bearings and belongings, leave town, and embark on a journey in a world that seems at once welcoming and friendly... until you meet its dark side! It's exactly the type of RPG we love to make and to play! We’ll put into the game all the passion we summoned for the award-winning RPGs we've worked on, and take you along for the ride. Even the mere mention of “old-school RPG” fills you with ideas, and we can’t wait to hear them!

Thank you to all the backers and interested folks so far! We are thankful and humbled by your support. We've listened to everyone's feedback, and want to announce/confirm:
▪ Linux Support. We are adding Linux support to our $1.5M Stretch Goal! You asked for it, you got it!
▪ Old-School RPG is DRM-free. Like our forefathers in the software industry, we believe in unprotected software - in other words: DRM-free games.
We'll be sending more updates as we go. Thanks again for all your feedback!

The first game brings you to The Bridge and then to Antera in the role of James Connelly. The second game, set on Tenerus, expands on this universe and story with Darien Cole.
There you go! See you on the next update!

Loot Drop's Old School RPG plays old-school, but looks new school! Using the Unity engine, our game is planned to have the beauty and speed of today's RPGs! It is also the strongest choice for cross-platform development!
Thanks for all your emails and comments -- so wonderful to see so many folks passionate about the game. Stay tuned for a great update next week!

We are happy to announce our intent to have the game on Steam. Has to get green-lit of course, but we're going for it!
GAMER WITH EARS AND EYES EDITION + simple BOXED VERSION OF OLD SCHOOL RPG. The boxed copy will include a DVD version of the game and a printed manual. This is in addition to the digital version of the game (so 2 copies overall!). Please add $15 for international shipping.
It's available now! If you've been waiting for it at a lower level, you can change your pledge to Basic Box at any time. Thanks for the suggestion!

The core of any RPG is its combat system, and we are pleased to reveal SHAKER’s combat system to you today. Be sure to check out our previous update for information on your character and crew. To recap, you create and customize your own party and take them to the medieval, fantasy world of Antera in search of the beginning of a chain of events that lead to a deadly consequence.

To review: Shaker: An Old School RPG features a six-character party - you and your 3 crew as well as 2 recruitable player characters. You begin the game as James Connelly, though you may customize him any way you like (including changing his appearance and gender). Next, you create 3 different Shaker operatives to join you on your Antera mission. Traveling back through time and space to arrive on Antera, you may recruit two locals to work on your crew. This is a medieval era world, with swordplay and magic.
So we needed cool concept art to convey combat in that medieval world.

Hey, folks, we've been having discussions about the world of Antera...and here is the current world map! There may be slight refinements as we go... and the places, races, and story deepens. Check it out!
