Escape From The Maze

A party-based, first-person, fantasy CRPG with phased combat, class-based character progression, and programmer-art. I called it "old school" until the term got trendy. It started inspired by Wizardry VII and the lack of a free open source alternative. Today we are living in the indie revolution and there are far more influences, but the game still clearly shows its Wizardry lineage. It's playable end to end, but there is a lot more to do before it's done. This blog tracks that work.

July/August update

Working through the class abilities. Starting at the top with A, here's the elevator pitch:

Special abilities: Sword Parry, Axe Parry, Mace Parry, Polearm Parry, Staff Parry. Only Polearm parry currently used, by the Amazon
Acolyte special abilities: Whispers of Evil, Life Leech, Dark Majesty, Hellfire, Power of Darkness, Apotheosis
Amazon special abilities: Amazon Stamina, Amazon Strength, Amazon Speed, Deadly Aim, Furious Purpose,

When I'm further along I'll try and post occasional class spotlights, going into further detail on what each ability does.

I'm still pencilling in a release towards the end of the year. It will have some well fleshed-out classes and some not started on yet, but it'll be good to exercise the release process and get a version out there.
