KickStarter Nox Archaist - 8-bit RPG for Apple II, Mac, and PC - now with Lord of Storms expansion

Getting serious Adventure Construction Set vibes:

Wow, I totally see it too. Total coincidence!

Just curious, do you see this kind of similarity as good, bad, or neutral?

It's neutral to me. It's impossible to not be influenced by other art, willingly or unwillingly, and even if you do create something odds are someone once created something like you did.

It only becomes a problem when the coincidence happens far too often in the same work/production.

What taxalot said. It's a neat coincidence.

With a new expansion out, and some changes happening to our channel we took time to talk to Mark Lemmert about the Lord of Storms expansion to Nox Archaist.

Mark Lemmert gives a deep dive into some of the technical underpinnings of Nox Archaist. Topics include A* search for NPC schedules, data compression, performance optimization, and 5-bit sound on a 1-bit Apple II speaker.

After a few years in my library, I am finally dabbling with this. This feels as old school as it looks, but it does have things like tutorials. Looks great in motion, and plays well. Nostalgia overload, despite this being a new game.

It was a long time ago that I took this many notes, lol. Reached level 2, and now have a party of four.

Entered a wolves den, feeling all cocky. I was quickly given a reality check.

it's good, take notes, feel the goodness and soul within it. what's interesting is it comes with a disk image that you can then use in your favorite apple][ emulator and really ride the nostalgia train. you should party like it's 1979!
