Fantasy Realm Update 0.28, Giveaway, and 10th Anniversary Sale, Available Now!

Greetings, wayfarer! I have been developing an open world rpg for the past few years, and I am happy to announce that the early access is now available on Steam! It's about 20-30 hours of content as of now, and I'd like to get feedback on late-game character/party balance, so please let me know if you try it out! Thanks!

SYNOPSIS
CLASSIC ROLEPLAYING REIMAGINED
Embark on an epic adventure, in which you must unite the survivors of a fantastical apocalypse and strike back against the greatest evil the world has ever known. Combining elements of classical turn-based and modern open-world roleplaying games, Fantasy Realm delivers a unique yet familiar experience, the likes of which you've never seen before.

RECLAIM FALLEN KINGDOMS
Fight back against the undead hordes of Aelimeth's Legion, capturing territory province-by-province. Re-establish supply lines, upgrade regions, and bring order to a continent overrun by chaos.

OPEN-ENDED CHARACTER PROGRESSION
Customize your character as you play. 19 branching character classes, dozens of weapon-based skills, a variety of costumes, and a host of elemental spells are all at your disposal as you explore the expansive continent of Tol.

ASSEMBLE YOUR PARTY
Recruit up to six additional followers from the shattered nations, forge weapons and armour, and craft exotic spells, potions, and items from the resources you've captured. Open-ended class design ensures you will always have an answer to the threats you will encounter in the wild.

ADVENTURE AWAITS
The Legion of Aelimeth isn't the only obstacle in your path. Explore ancient temples, take on epic megabeasts, and disrupt hostile faction activity. Or simply take the day off and go fishing. The choice is always yours.

Update 0.28 Is Here!
Get Lost in an Atmospheric Landscape



Update 0.28 is out now! It ended up being a major update. I packed in everything I could, and then a whole lot more. I'm very excited to get this one out, as it represents a 'completed canvas' to me. Now I can go crazy with the paint and get these quests in. I had to stop myself before I started to add the 240 new spells I came up with while I was at the hospital the other day(they're sick, by the way, if you care).

August also marks the 10 year anniversary of the start of development of this game! To celebrate, the game will be on sale for 34% off starting tomorrow, August 6th. The sale will last 2 weeks, so you've got plenty of time to grab it at the discounted price. I'd also like to give away 10 free copies to forum users, so if you're interested in trying out the game hit me up!

Available for purchase here:



Very stoked to have picked development back up after losing like a year and a half of code in 2019. Took a while to get back into it, but now that I'm fully acclimated it's full steam ahead. I am so motivated to get what's been planned next into the game. Main storylines for main towns and characters come to mind, but I've also been coming up with fun stuff like dog races, magic schools, wildlife daily schedules, verbal encounters, etc. etc. More to come.

Thanks For Playing!​

As always, thanks for playing, let me know what you think, and good luck!

love to try out on a demo side if there is any, outside steam.
it's for me easier.

the stamina bar left bottom, isn't that god looking, specially if
you can do it cleaner with galv_variableBar to give it a image.

that way, more appealing (like bar with shoes for example or something else.
I like the level label if that plays a crucial role, and will it change color if your
level is higher or stays the same?

it specially useful if you hunt something that it drops, but congrats on the update,
it looks really good further more :)

but 10 years, heads off for you :)

Keep up the good work.

Hey ShadowDragon!

No plans for a non-steam PC version, but thanks so much for the encouragement! I'll send you a steam key anyway just in case :D

Thanks for all the feedback! I've had issues with stamina plugins in the past but I really just wanted to get one in for this build. Open world games need something stopping the player from sprinting from one side of the map to the other :D Look of these kinds of things will be improved in time.

You've got some cool plugins btw, thanks for making them! I'll probably try the gold ticker in the next week, and some of those HTML ones are looking verrry nice for the town that builds a casino ;)

Stay in touch pal!
