You sure can!
With a ton of perseverance and a lot of WordPress programming knowledge you can do anything in WordPress: even build the world’s first WordPress based video game engine.
Introducing OGE (Orbem Game Engine)
Ex Disney, Warner Bros. and Universal WordPress programmer Scott V. Adrian has taken on the challenge of developing the world’s first WordPress based game engine that allows users to create complex RPG video games RIGHT in to their WordPress website.
The OGE utilizes WordPress for managing all the game assets, and play data with an intuitive front end game building experience. With it you can build levels, insert NPCs that can wander and talk, make cutscenes for exposition and transitions between levels, add collectables, breakables, draggables and even enemies to fight plus a TON more.
Where can I find the WordPress game engine OGE?
You can’t! Not yet at least. At the time of writing this post, Scott V. Adrian, or @OrbemOrder as he’s known on youtube and twitch, is currently in the tail ends of development of the OGE plugin so unfortunately you can’t start building games on WordPress with it just yet.
As well as developing the world’s first WordPress game engine, he is also developing OGE’s first game with it.
The work in progress game is based on Scott V. Adrian’s SciFi Fantasy novel series “The Homonian Chronicles” and will follow the story of the series in a pixel art style RPG that utilizes all that the OGE has to offer including minigames, boss fights and puzzle solving as you play with 4 characters that all have special abilities.
