Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox is an indie game with the intent to recreate the amazing turn-based, first person RPGs from the golden age of PC gaming using modern game engine technology. Rich classics such as the Might & Magic series, Eye of the Beholder and the like have inspired this new title which, when finished will put its players into a literally infinite fantasy world filled with procedurally generated content. The Sword of Ahkranox isn't trying to compete with the larger, professionally developed RPG titles out there, but instead our aim is to fill a large gap that we believe has existed in game technology since the mid-nineties. It is definitely a must-have for all enthusiasts of the quintessential RPG. The game's procedural engine can generate an infinite number of weapons, items, spells, monsters, dungeons, cities, countryside and even dialogue, allowing the player to explore the game with no end and no reason to stop.
So you might remember in previous videos the "Orbs of Kal-Rael" that hang from the ceilings of dungeons to help light the way when you run out of Mana for your light spells.
Well, with the new lighting engine, they have gotten a bit of a facelift! Check it out!
Oh, and be sure to watch the video on full-screen to see the magic that makes up the orb moving!
Nifty!
Adds quite a lot of atmosphere.
A Old-School Dungeon-Crawl with up-to-date graphics and lighting is way cool!
Thank you for the compliment! We believe that the old-school rpg genre should never have died, so we're bringing it back!
