In short, Ars Ignis is:

A classic story-driven RPG, focusing on an old school recipe, while not forgetting about the benefits brought by modern RPGs.

It will feature, among other key elements:  

  • A world built under the ground, with many exciting areas to explore, and many dangers to overcome.
  • Memorable characters with strong personalities.
  • A complex story line that emphasizes concepts such as morality, psychology, politics and philosophy, while not making the deep knowledge of each concept a requirement to enjoy the game. 
  • A completely blurred border between good and evil. You'll be playing on the side of, what you would call in other games, the evil guys. But how evil are they really? Go on a great adventure "on the other side of the barricade", and find for yourself, that there is no such thing as a barricade.
  • Extra activities to spice up the player's gaming experience. From fishing, cooking and mining, to potion brewing. But that's not where it all ends! There are also crafting-unrelated activities, with a variety of unique rewards: exploring randomly generated areas, participating in treasure trails and many more!
  • What makes (almost) every RPG a pleasure to play: enemies, quests, weapons, armors, and all about items.
  • For the combat fans out there, Ars Ignis attempts to come with a fast paced and dynamic combat experience, by not imposing extreme limitations on what pieces of equipment can be used at any given time. Feeling like slicing your way through some enemies, then quickly launching a volley of arrows at their fellow mages, and finally burning them all to death with your powerful spells? It's completely possible.
  • For the bibliophiles out there, Ars Ignis attempts to become THE role playing game with the most written content. That means, it will feature tons of books and notes, each discussing various subjects, all of them for your reading pleasure.

... and much, much more!

Note! Ars Ignis is currently in very early development; all of the artwork you can see while this message is present is used as placeholder and, with a few exceptions, belongs to different owners who offered them under certain licenses. All authors will be credited in the first pre-alpha public build.

One of the most impressive looking videos I've seen, it reminds me of Arx-Fatalis with way better graphics and concepts, tracking and good luck.

Thanks very much for tracking and appreciation! All of the graphics are placeholders taken from around the web. Later on, we'll replace each and every artwork with our own, much better looking versions.

Thanks for tracking! Yes, we are planning to take full advantage of Unity's cross platform support, so there will be Linux and Mac OS X versions as well, aside from the Windows one.
