Nox Archaist Kickstarter Launches May 2nd!



Nox Archaist Kickstarter Is LIVE


http://kickstarter.noxarchaist.com/

The 6502 Workshop team is launching a Kickstarter campaign on May 2, 2019 to produce a collector's edition of Nox Archaist!

Nox Archaist is a brand new tile based 8-bit RPG inspired by classics like Ultima and Bard's Tale.  It is written for the Apple II computer, but is easily playable on any modern Mac or PC via emulation.  It's been designed and hand-coded from scratch by a team of awesome programmers and artists, and even a few legends from the golden era of video games back in the 80s.

We really appreciate the interest and encouragement from the community and we are confident that with your help the upcoming campaign will be successful.

Pledge rewards will include lots of cool feelies with professional artwork, such as:

  • Full color collector’s game box
  • Cloth map
  • Printed manual
  • Unique game artifacts
  • 5.25" Floppy disks and a USB stick for emulators





Our goal is to give you the experience of buying a game off the shelf of your local computer store in the late 80s, and also give you the chance to be involved in the game design and success of a modern Apple II game!

We hope to earn your support!

Kickstarter Update








The time has come!

...Oh, wait - It hasn't quite come.  So the time is... nigh!  Yes, that's it.  The time is nigh for the Nox Archaist Kickstarter!

This spring, we will be launching our crowdfunding campaign to produce the boxed collector's edition of Nox Archaist, a brand new 8-bit tile based RPG.  We'll be announcing details in March, so stay tuned!

Also, keep your eyes open for the March issue of the great Apple II magazine Juiced.GS.  It will contain an article about the Nox Archaist Kickstarter campaign, which will give you a sneak peek at what we've got planned.

If you loved the classics like Ultima and Bard's Tale, we're sure that we will earn your support!

Assembly Lines Interview: Nox Archaist Game Engine

Time flies and we want to share with you this Assembly Lines Podcast episode from KansasFest 2018!



We dive into the build process and toolchain being used to create Nox Archaist for the first time and discuss their integration with the game engine.

Check out the video to see how easily we can switch tile types - grass in the realm is suddenly morphed into cows!   Also learn about the upcoming Nox Archaist Kickstarter, likely to launch in early 2019.
