[Berengar]

Looks real cool. Setting is a breath of fresh air. Probably never would have seen this anywhere else. Thanks codex!

what in the actual fuck

I'm impressed they have the balls to do that.

I still remember the "outrage" (read, bunch of pussies getting their panties in a twist over nothing) when Zelda 64 put a muslim prayer in the background music of the fire temple.

This kind of moronic shit has only gotten worse over the years.

I thought they went Fantasy Arabia or at least pre-Islam Arabia.

Can you go full Allahu Akbar now? Can we take sex slaves? I have so many questions.

Hope the dev does away with the cyan fog hanging over everything.

I'm still waiting for the basic short sword to become something more "Arabian", like a khopesh or some kind of scimitar.

This game's demo has been publicly available since the beginning of June: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1845670/view/3711575230374155397

Demo Available!

The demo version 0.2.9 has now been made available to the public!

In preparation for Next Fest on June 19th, I though it might be good to get some playtesting done and maybe incorporate some of the feedback before this big event.

Any players out there please know this is still an early, unfinished build of the game. It also limits the players range of travel to just the first two islands at this time.

Any thoughts you have about the game, please share on the Steam Forum. I will do my best to incorporate any feedback before the game is released later this year.

Many updates since then.

If you'd rather watch someone play the demo.

I skimmed through the video and meh... I mean this looks like an ok game, but the sandnigger aestetics is severly lacking. Recolor sand to green, replace samey looking old turban dude with some fat merchant and swap the shit skin for white and you have an average fantasy dungeon crawler. Also market stalls with HUGE FUCKING "WE SELL SHIELDS\ARMOR\DILDOS HERE" SIGNS when it's clearly visible what is being sold there feels pants on head retarded.

 

[Ludwig von Eisenthal]

The game can be purchased on itch, but I wonder what I get? It hasn't been released already, has it?

edit: Got it on Steam. Now let's have a look what we have here...

 

[Infinitron]

Oh my, quite a nice weekend:

 

[Sacibengala]

How’s the impressions on this one? Just saw it’s already available on steam.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Gonna check out the demo later since I've just found myself out of stuff to play and this looks like it might be fun.

Release date is now, old man. Get with the times.

Anyway, playing this and so far it's pretty good.

 

[SpoonFULL]

Playing the demo and enjoying it. It is indeed fun and glad for once someone actually carried out research into culture to use correct words and practices. Well done.

 

[Luzur]

Looks cool, gonna play it

 

[Darth Roxor]

Exactly the kind of thing I'd expect old Abdullah the farmer to say

I also find it mildly amusing that side activities include praying on time and fasting during ramadan to get xp bonuses.

I found a prayer rug but can't use it because I'm not familiar with the 5 pillars of islam. SAD!
