Hi! I am actually the dev of this game here on my personal youtube account 😄 As you may have guessed, the game itself is very very early in development, I've been solo creating it on and off for around 8 months, there are many missing features, and the command parser is quite primitive, but that's how it goes very early in development. Some npcs in the book that say they do not fight back, i had them fight back simply for testing purposes while developing combat, these things definitely will change. As for the hidden chambers, the path towards them is always invisible, definitely work to be done there, I realized I should do one of two things with secret entrances: Once the secret room is discovered, it should make the path to it appended to the current paths, instead of the name of the path always being invisible Standardize secret path names to always have the same value i.e. "forward" or "inside" as it stands on the version you have played, type "go forward" to access it. In terms of permission of using the art, it's a fan game that I do no plan on selling for any money, but I have tried to get in contact with plastiboo about the fan game to see what they think, and have yet to get a response. If yall have any questions, feel free to ask the questions on the reddit thread here, or reply directly to this comment www.reddit.com/r/osr/comments/1eegb3b/i_created_a_textbased_adventure_game_based_off_of/

I recognize this game's music! Kobold makes some great dungeon synth. Good atmospheric stuff for OSR adventures.

Exits are North, South, and Dennis

I recognized the sound they used for the computer beeps and boops, it's from Alien Isolation!

My childhood was full of these creepy exploration games, both totally text-based like Zork and various M.U.D.s, and combination with images like from Sierra or SSI / TSR AD&D computer games. This one looks really cool! I think I'll wait until it's further in development though.

This has strong Mörk Borg vibes.

What dimension is this? Lol Video game “let’s play” on Questing Beast

This is cool. I've been hoping Vermis would inspire fan games. I'd like to see other fan games using different gameplay styles to recreate scenes described in the books.

Dude I have scarcely stopped thinking about that "game" since you made that video, you don't know how stoked I am rn

The lonely knight isnt supposed to fight back. According to the guide, he is harmless EVEN IF provoked. Not sure why the dev decided to change this since its practically the first chance you have to use the game guide to inform your decision in the game. Also choosing to not have him drop the loot that the guide says he drops is an interesting omission.

I bought Vermis 1 and 2 because you showcased them, so I'm interested in this game version of it.

Amazing, I was just using the Vermis books the other day for monsters in my regular tabletop game

Υeah I was also bummed I couldn't play it. So I adapted it to an RPG campaign and I've been playing with my friends for the past 6 months using Knave, Mork Borg and an assortment of supplements to beef it up. It's awesome! Some of the best I've run

FUCK YEAH VERMIS GAME

I would love an official project, tabletop or otherwise to come from Vermis. It's ripe with potential. this is a great step in the right direction.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. And I LOVE ALL Questing Beast videos!

I like that the display and sounds are reminiscent of the Nostromo computer from Alien.

YOOOOO that Kobold on the soundtrack! My favorite dungeon synth act.

no way, vermis real?? thanks a lot for bringing my attention to this development.

Well, about time. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.

SuperEyePatchWolf covers this in great detail

Glad to see you’re mixing up some of your content Ben. I’d be interested to see a bit more gaming content in the future too 👍

Obviously someone had to!

This guy is making a fantastic soundtrack to the guide to the game that doesn't exist but does: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IKyvFiG0wA0.html

Hell yeah. Love both books. Great vid

The actual mad lad did it!

Anyone got past the silver swamp?

2 bit dark souls.

The 1980s called. They said you can keep that creepy stuff. They don't want it.

VERMIS IS REAL!!!

Very cool. And it runs straight off of Itch? Is this common? I'm on that platform but rarely interact with it.

Cool!

Amazing

So someone watched your video, then went back in time to 1984 and made this game. Then came back and updated it to 16:9 for the 40th anniversary. Pretty cool. I remember Zork. And being killed by grues in the dark. A lot. And that was just the beginning of the game.

Neat! I hope the game maker has permission from the original author

More evidence of the singularity 💜

Neat!

i love this

First!!! 🎉

I have thought of doing something similar, but more like if you followed what the guide presents in art style with daggerfall style combat
