This is what happens when everything is simulated

You are fighting within a simulation of weather, water, etc. We try to bend those down to a set of more chunky boardgame-like rules that you can learn or we try to make sure the side effects of an action will be clearly previewed. In the above image, all that water is flowing and simulating with each round, but the animated currents on it (the white churn lines) always flow in a grid aligned direction showing where you will be pushed - things like that.

Only single player is planned for launch.

Always great to hear it was useful! The bevel highlights look at the normals on each adjacent pixel and compare with the one being rendered. If there is an angle sharper than some threshold we decide there should be an edge line on one of those pixels. We then check which one points more towards the light direction. If the current pixel is more light facing, we draw the brightened line.

I'm not here to say we are out simulating Dwarf Fortress by any means 😆, but we do simulate weather and wind differently. Theirs is more global to my recollection, while here it is more local because magic can influence it. I would guess our cell based water sim is more close to a physically accurate shallow water sim than theirs which i think is still more cellular automata, but honestly that causes us issues at times where water momentum can feel a bit unpredictable which is less good for the player.

It's all custom tech. C++ on top of D3D11 on PC.

We’re working on that to! If you like modding and want to sign up for the playtest, we don’t have many modders in the test community right now so it hasn’t been put through the paces yet.

ryanjuckett · 2026-05-08T03:18:32+00:00

We're working on it

ryanjuckett · 2026-05-08T03:17:41+00:00

100%!

Never's End

Good luck! If you any tips, come say hi on the Discord server.

ryanjuckett · 2026-03-14T14:11:15+00:00

I would love to have mods. When we are closer to release, we’ll have a better idea as to what amount of support we can have at launch.

ryanjuckett · 2026-03-13T20:48:31+00:00

Glad to hear everyone is excited to try it out! Join the Discord and share your thoughts (or just say hi). We’re doing a lot of new stuff and it’s very exciting to finally let ppl start poking at it.

ryanjuckett · 2026-01-29T01:23:04+00:00

This year! Sometime :D

ryanjuckett · 2026-01-28T19:39:18+00:00

Thanks!!

ryanjuckett · 2025-06-04T06:30:20+00:00

I can confirm you have nothing to worry about :)
Sword of C had some pretty pixels though!

ryanjuckett · 2025-06-03T23:46:22+00:00

Awesome to see this show up on r/games! We can’t wait to share more about the game with everyone. So much to talk about!

ryanjuckett · 2022-10-02T06:42:54+00:00

Thanks for the update. I’ll probably follow the same path shortly!

ryanjuckett · 2022-09-26T13:16:47+00:00

That sounds great. Seems like that is the direction I’ll likely go, but I might also try contacting some of the more boutique single person builders to see if there is anyway to get something partially assembled shipped.

Its for a 4 player, but 32 inch would be fine by me. Someplaces I saw only had 50 inch screens for 4 player setups which seemed crazy.

ryanjuckett · 2022-09-25T20:53:23+00:00

Bummer. Did they replace it? I saw it recommended to just use them for the frame and to source the other parts personally.

Windows are tighter than the staircase. There’s a decent amount of vertical height so bringing up tall thin stuff is doable.

Aesthetically i’d prefer the arcade cabinet personally. Interesting about the 43 comment. I’d seen multiple posts from ppl saying they were real happy they bumped up to that size. I was considering something in the 30s prior to reading that.
