C64 RPG - 40 Years in the Making

Imagesource: https://twitter.com/ravenwolftech

Who hasn't experienced this? In the 80s, you had the game of your dreams conceived, designed, documented, and practically sold already – but then... a thing called reality got in the way.

So far, not so unusual. However, when nearly 40 years later, you get the idea to dig up that exact concept from the dust, and this time to actually implement it, you've at least reached the next level. Lucky is the one who still has access to resources like notes, code, and documentation from back then. This happened to Mike Brixius aka @RavenwolfTech.

Mike's project was an RPG that was almost revolutionary for its time. Ultima IV gameplay, D&D maps... what could go wrong? (well...) 😎

The current plan is to actually complete the RPG by 2024. It would only be 41 sweet, short years until the release. But seriously – it's a great project with more details available on hackaday, and we're definitely looking forward to it.
