A roguelike where you roam through the procedurally generated wasteland of the ruined world, passing by all manner of monstrosities and wonders as you watch the world decay, Development began on December 13 2014.

Description

In the Wastes you have no goal or aim but to survive, and believe me it's a futile goal, you may grow to become a monstrous mutant, a bandit, a hunter of bandits, a roaming bard, a travelling merchant, a robber, arena fighter or all manner of things with little restriction, as you explore you will gain stats and money, copious amounts of very dynamic loot and great insight into the world.

Exploring the wastes you will find everything from traps to ruined buildings you can explore, you will find peculiar sights and meet many monsters as you battle through the randomly generated regions, occasionally finding towns and traders, or gangs and monsters. There is no real way to win the wastes but there are many secrets hidden in the game and more content than you could hope to find in 1000 hours of playtime, it's quite addictive and the frustration of dying is usually forgotten leaving you wanting more.

Development History

Development began on December 13 2014 as a small project that was after very little work dropped, the other roguelike game Warsim was worked on in it's place and very little attention was given to the wastes until it was picked up a few months later and worked on prolifically developing it at an alarming rate before the development speed began to burn out and slow down again by september.
