Archmage Rises - Procedural Open World Medieval RPG 

I can second this. ☝

Thanks for speaking to his character, these things matter. Someday, I hope for someone to say the same thing on a video about my project. 😎👍👍

question do you know since you can age in the game if there is or will be a way to not age as get eternal youth or immortal(time wise)?(also hope he allows modding to let the game grow even more)

He seems really passionate especially after seeing people speak out about him. I just dont like that even with the game in early access and being buggy to the point that alll 6 of my playthroughs have had to end early because of it, hes already talking about locking content that should be in the base game and free, that is said you can do in game on the store page, behind dlcs. like i seen the road map i could expect it for new playable races but the first two major updates to children and apprentices like bro i already paid for the game its early access already so what will every update be 7 dollars that brings new stuff? I get that its a small team but damn that just really upsets me is what it is ig just wanted to express my feelings on it to someone who says to know him personally.

Never heard of old muds is it like DF?

@@Ninja40K MUDs (Multi-User-Dungeons) were generally texted based (or with some very basic ASCII Graphics) online games that were the precursors to the first MMOs. The main difference was that for most of them the content was generated by players themselves who were promoted to "wizards" by the admins as long as they knew how to code a bit and wanted to spent time creating content. Most MUDs were run by Universities or Colleges in the 1990s, and while I'm sure they still exist today, I would suspect that MMOs pretty much made them irrelevant to most players.

A month or so back Splatty was talking up a really old school RPG he was about to introduce us to. I became all excited for a text based game like when I grew up. The game was nothing like that, and I felt very old.

@@andrewshandle Man, I forgot about those.

@@Reoh0zyou might like roadwarden, text based indie rpg that came out a few months back.

Agreed. This looks fantastic. Hopefully it works on steam deck.

From what I've read on the Steam page, I'd say yes to all of those.

This game seriously looks like it can give endless fun to those who likes RP, and if the moddability is good, this might be another classic IMO, I will surely have a lot of fun with this game.

Developer here: So glad to you get the breadth of the game! Passing this on to the team, cuz sometimes they think I'm crazy with all the features 😛

I just want a game I can play as a magic archer :(

I hope whoever is making this realize to minimize the text amount as much as possible. All text adventures should be short and to the point.

Give back my profile picture!

"I cast Fist!"

I looked up their website and found the answer to my own question: a team of 10 has been working on this full-time for *9 years* so far. Absolutely nuts!

They haven’t all been working on it for 9 years. Most of that time has been one or two working on it. In the last couple years that have increased to 10 people working on it. Still an impressive amount of dedication!

So in actual game mechanics you could die if unprepared for the test? That sounds awesome.

@@GameTimeWhy Definitely, if you took it after character creation it could totally kill you, or leave you with fascinating magical scars

@@daviddonachie5333 that's really cool.

Truth be told, in a game such as this, that is so systemic by nature and so vast in scope and ambition, it should basically be a given that it'll be riddled with game-breaking bugs like that for a long while, haha. I may have even encountered one myself just in the 3 hours I tried playing with the demo. But like you said, I think we can look forward to it getting more robust and stable as it goes through Early Access.

@@MrEnvisioner I do agree on that :)

Were they pretty cool dudes? Down to earth? I hate when you have pretentious devs.

@@GameTimeWhy Yeah, definitely. Genuinely good vibes when I was chatting with them.

Developer here: You are SO RIGHT! I loved Darklands. All these years later, I still wish I finished it. 😛

@@ArchmageRises Glad to hear Darklands was some inspiration to Archmage Rises. I hope you'll eventually make Archmage Rises available outside of Steam. The game definitely gave me Darklands feel. Amazing Darklands hasn't been brought to modern pcs, one of the best games ever.
