This week I show proof that RPGs are evolving, that we can use modern techniques and technology to build a living breathing world that realistically responds to player and NPC actions.  Read how a veteran RPG game designer is longing and calling for a new RPG experience.  One that Archmage Rises delivers.

This week's update shows gameplay footage of day night cycle, and we talk inspiration from Monte Cook's Ptolus, the greatest D&D 3rd/D20 supplement ever written.

This weeks totally honest update on our development schedule! Gameplay of some of the amazing new features that make Archmage Rises unlike any other RPG before!

I was at a potluck last sunday and the person across asked "So when is the game going to be done?"  Scheduling software is hard, scheduling indie game development even harder still.  In this video we show how we came up with the feature complete date.

We’re excited to bring some great new features to Archmage Rises!  We’ve worked hard to plumb in the new systems, and create a bit of content for them.  Hopefully this build will give a better idea of what the final game will be like, but there is still plenty more to come!

We answer a fan question on the connection between Dragonlance, Raistlin Majere, and Archmage Rises.
