Umbrarum Regnum is a roguelike game in an early phase of development, still unplayable. It is set in a classic fantasy world. It's an overambitious project, probably bound to be vapourware. It initially was supposed to feature a complicated magick system, detailed and realistic combat, political and commercial interactions between different kingdoms, etc. At the moment, none of this is implemented yet. But at least it looks neat :).

Features

Most important features implemented so far are:

  • UI (True Colour ASCII console emulator powered by TCODlib, written and developed by Jice)
  • Multiple resolution support (from 640x480 to 1024x768)
  • pregenerated overworld with different terrains and 49 settlements
  • random map generators (wilderness tiles, dungeons, caves, perfect or partially braided labyrinths and towns)
  • savegame read/write
  • fast pathfinding
  • plenty of races, professions and skills
  • some monsters to fight
  • very basic combat system (to be developed later)

To Do List

  • NPCs
  • items & inventories
  • quests & the plot
  • magick
  • all the cool features that look so great on paper and are so difficult to implement at this stage :)
