Project Utumno

Are you tired of those games with fantastic graphics but no game play? Want an experience that is new and unexplored every time you go through it? If the answer is yes, you've come to the right place! Project Utumno will have all the things you want:
- In-depth game play.
- Not-fantastic graphics.
- Involving storyline that can change drastically depending on how you play.
- Neptillions of skills, abilities, spells, and items! (neptillion = 1 x 10 to the [lots] power)
- Hundreds of monsters, adventures, and quests.
- Sprinkled liberally with fun-ness and extract-of-awesome.

Come join us in a majtastical (fantastic + magical) world of dragons and wizards, warriors and demons, enchantments and treasures. Explore dungeons, towers, castles, wastelands, tundras, and beastly lairs.

Currently, the game is in development. Below is some information about Project Utumno: Example screenshot of town
  • Project Utumno is a Rogue-Like fantasy adventure game.
  • If you are looking for the old isometric roguelike Utumno game by Matt Craighead, we are maintaining it in our Archive. Also available for download.
  • "Project Utumno" is not the final game title. We just haven't decided what the best title is. The going title so far is "Shards of Mervare"
  • Platforms: Linux, Mac, & Windows for sure... Android, iPhone, Nokia, & Blackberry if we can.
  • Multi-player/Single-player: Single-Player first, with serious plans for a Multi-Player version after that.
  • 2D/3D view: 2D 3/4 overhead view (same as other roguelike games.)
  • Active-turn based/real-time: Realtime if we can swing it.
  • Free/one-time charge/advertising sponsor/yearly fee/donations: undecided, but we know we want everyone to enjoy it, so if we have to charge, we will make it as cheap as possible.
  • Project phase: Pre-Alpha development and testing. If you want to help or have some suggestions, now is the time to let us know.
  • Graphics: primarily made up of David Gervais (and some Henk Brouwer) 32x32 pixel tiles (used with their express permission.) We are constantly improving the graphics selection by adding our own custom work. Avatars, Graphical User Interfaces, cut scenes, and a few tiles are created specifically for Project Utumno (by Taldarian & Medicine Storm.) If you want to help with artwork, let us know. We would love to incorporate it into the game.
