A classic western RPG inspired by the games from the 90s.

 

Light, fairy tale, epic, heroic and slightly humorous. One that does not take tons of hours to complete or require endless grind to progress.

 

Mechanically it's 100% turn based (so you can go and make tea in the middle of a fight) with grid movement and 90 degree rotation. All this very fast paced, both combat and travel is really fast. The goal was to cut down the boring parts and flesh out the fun parts.

 

Overall, the mechanics are pretty traditional and straightforward with modern additions like equipment encumbrance system.

Ludomotion, the game's Netherlands-based developer, calls its revolutionary take on randomised level design "cyclic dungeon generation".

 

But what is cyclic dungeon generation?

 

There's no person better qualified to answer that question than Joris Dormans, Unexplored's lead developer and master architect of the cyclic dungeon generation theory and technology.

 

In the video, Dormans explains the concept behind cyclic dungeon generation and how - compared to regular procedural generation - it greatly improves the player experience.

 

Descend into the depths of the Dungeon of Doom and complete your quest: steal the Amulet of Yendor from the fearsome dragon and make it out alive.

 

Unexplored: Unlocked Edition includes the main game and its three DLC packs: Mithril Run, Ripley Run, and The Dark Ritual.

Thea 2: The Shattering is drawing its development cycle to a close. In September the beta version for backers (pledge £15 and more) will appear on the Steam platform. The game will be launched as Early Access title later this autumn, in November. The full game launch is scheduled for the first quarter of 2019.

 

The game proposes a unique blend of 4X turn strategy, RPG, survival and card game with an original dark fantasy setting inspired by Slavic myths and culture. Players will adopt the role of a god who looks after a tribe of followers while navigating a procedurally generated environment. They will have to choose their favoured play style – whether they prefer to wander and explore the world, take an aggressive stance of a warlord, or becoming the master diplomats with an array of alliances with other factions – and constantly gather resources and ensure the survival of their worshipers. Thea 2 also offers atmospheric graphics and music, perfectly illustrating the Slavic background of the narrative. Thea 2 will have a co-op multiplayer mode, free DLC content, adventures editor and modding tools.
