So another big beta update has gone out now! Definitely worth checkout out the list of what we've added, as it's a big one! Here's a video explaining some of the major changes that have happened:
If you'd like the full list, you can find it here.
We've been adding it lots, and lots, and lots of new stuff. Much of it has also been aesthetic. We have lots of fun new things for you.
One thing is the addition of a new permadeath leaderboard:
So now you can see where your character compares to other people playing.
We've also updated the appearance of mines:
But we've done heaps of really solid stuff. We've added the first guild (thieve's den) added guard tower functionality, magic shops, farm functionality, monsters in the countryside, more sounds and music... It's a big update.
Here's a let's play video by one of the fans showing off some of the new stuff:
Sorry this is a bit of a rambling post, but I'm REALLY tired after this weekend ;) I'll be back with more later :) In the meantime, enjoy!

Malevolence beta is turning into an amazing project with epic goals! I have never heard of limitless locations in a procedurally generated world, but they did it! All the Role Playing elements are here and the exploration is a huge part of the game. The current beta still has a lot of work to be done as the shaders and lighting still need to be optimized, but the developers have really put themselves in a new level of game design due to the massive amounts of assets, weapons, characters and locations…

I finally just realized what you mean by "procedurally generated weapons". Will you show the 3d models of these weapons as well?
Going off of what you said on facebook, if there are 4 parts to each weapon, 50 variations of the parts, and 8 weapon types, that's 1600 different 3d models!!! So if each model takes 15 minutes to create, that's still 400 hours worth of work. That's 10 weeks of full time work. Plus if you have to create a 2d version of each part for the inventory then that's twice the work! I hope you have multiple artists.
I'm not saying that it can't be done, I'm just saying that it's a lot of work. It will definitely be worth it in the end though I think.
Voted!
Fantastic! Thank you!
What kind of games are you looking back on when making this game?
For most parts, Might & Magic, Wizardry and Eye of the Beholder. For every other part, Daggerfall and Ultima :)
But we're also putting our own spin on it, to make it our perfect idea of an RPG!
Wow, this game looks like it has definite promise! Watching, can't wait to play.
Thank you! :D
You're most welcome. I look forward to seeing this baby in action. On my own computer, that is. ;)
And we can't wait to assist you in that noble endeavour ;)
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by our page!
