Remember Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox, the game that did not make it at Indiegogo? (What game has made it at Indiegogo, though?) If you don't, let me remind you, via the game's Kickstarter description:
  • The game is an homage to classic RPGs such as Eye of the Beholder, Might & Magic, Dungeon Master, Stonekeep, etc
  • Movement is grid-based and turn-based
  • It is set in an infinite, persistent world (yes, persistent, too!)
  • The world is rich and full of dungeons, crypts, forests, cities, vast oceans and more
  • World is NOT randomly generated, but it IS infinite, so you can share what you find with friends [The devs obviously mean procedural generation - CB]
  • Items, weapons, quests, locations, maps, NPCs, even dialogue are generated by the game
  • Even some graphics such as weapon images are generated procedurally
  • The game is nearly finished, but we need some extra funds to add the final layer of polish to make the game as good as it can be
Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox is a game for all those fans of old-school first person RPG gaming. The movement is grid-based, but also turn-based, bringing back that old strategising element of games such as Might & Magic, there are an infinite number of items and weapons and armor to find, and an infinite number of quests to go on. That being said, however, the aim of this game isn't to make a game that you can play forever, that would just be silly. What we're making is an RPG that you can play for as long or as little as you want, and always have new places to find. Best of all, the in-game world is also persistent, so if you find something cool, you can share its location with your friends and they'll be able to find it, too!​

The goal is a rather humble $6,000, and $20 gets you a digital copy of the game to be released in December 2012. You can watch the video, have a look at some screenshots, and of course examine the tiers at Malevolence's Kickstarter page.
