Crypts of Avaritia is a combination of randomly generated dungeons together with a first person view with gameplay similar to Heretic/Hexen combined with Dungeon Hack, Ultima Underworld, Dungeon Master, Might & Magic, Daggerfall, Arena and other games in the same genre. The gameplay will not force the player into melee combat as many other RPGs do, instead choice will be given to approach any problem the way the player seem fit, just like in Deus Ex. As such there are many non-combat skills for the player to upgrade. There are strong survival-mechanisms coupled to the gameplay, such as the player need to sleep, eat and drink water. You can also break bones, bleed and get poisoned.
Quick update of the things I have worked on for the last couple of weeks. Have been busy with work but have gotten some stuff done. You will see some GUI stuff, melee combat and use of water and fire sources.
I expect Ultima Underworld and nothing less :3
Haha, thanks man, those are some big shoes to fill, but I do feel that I am putting together a really nice game here, even though it takes a lot of time to do it. Hopefully some people will enjoy it!
