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 with the outdoor environments will come new assets. Here's a sneak preview!


Out in the wilderness, the player will encounter all sorts of things. Towns, cities, dungeons, graveyards, mountains, oceans, and sometimes, they will find these old ruins of civilizations long past. There will usually be some goodies to find in them, and, if the player is lucky enough, the ruin will have an undercroft that they will be able to go down in and explore!


So anyway, we thought we'd show off some of the new assets being made! This set took about an hour and a half to do, but texturing and UV unwrapping took about 8 more hours. But you should get to see them in the game in the upcoming videos!


Most of our other work has been getting the advanced lighting working outside, so that it looks prettier, as well as adding water bodies such as lakes, rivers and oceans! So stay tuned! New videos will be up soon!

Love it Love it Love it! I create assets too, so I completely respect the hard work in these screenshots! Great job on detail! I always love Gothic Architecture, specially the rough, worn down architectural elements.

Very nice indeed! Can't wait to see what this will look like in-game!

Also, will one be able to interact with water in the world, such as drinking it, putting some in a bottle, or, provided a sufficiently-wide and deep volume of water, swim in it?

Thank you! :D

Water will be generally impassable (ie. no swimming) however, water walking spells as well as in arctic biomes when lakes freeze over.

I'm very excited that you guys are doing some outdoor areas.... I was starting to worry that the whole game took place in dungeons...

Oh, no. Dungeons are actually only a small portion of the game. The countryside and towns are where the player will spend most of their time!
