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 we've been busy adding new content to the game, as you know, and our latest addition is graveyards, which are turning out to be VERY scary. Here are some early screenshots:






So as you can see, they're much more frightening at night time, but they will be the home of the undead in the game. You will be able to enter the mausoleums and tombs and raid them for goodies (if you survive). There are humorous messages on the tombstones, but they're written in Ahkrani, so you'll have to decipher them yourself ;)

However, the graveyards are only about 50% done so far, so we'll update you further when they're finished.

We've also received some new art assets from Rachel for weapon generation! Here are some examples of weapons that the game generated using her art!

So, as always, don't forget to check out our IndieGoGo campaign by clicking on this image:

First screenshot looked amazing, I was like 'holy **** is this M:TSoA!?
I didn't like the third screen though, looks messed up.

Thanks for the praise! Why don't you like the third screen though? We may be able to fix it up ;)

From what I can tell, the moon looks rather distorted in the third picture. Otherwise, awesome as usual. :D

EDIT: Perhaps you could provide us with some HD versions of the in-game screenshots in the future? They'd look really nice as wallpaper (or just to flaunt towards our friends!).

That is some awesome atmosphere you have got going there! I'd be pretty creeped out walking around in that graveyard.... But it'd be all worth it if my reward was that blue sword with the orange flame on the blade. :P
Your progress amazes me time and time again. :)
