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.

Splash Screen! Mockingboard! More!



Earlier this month, some of the 6502 Workshop team attended KansasFest 2018.  Besides having a great time, we also had the opportunity to do a public presentation on Nox Archaist, updating the attendees on what new things we've done since last year.

We showcased the following cool developments:

  • Double Hi-Res Splash Screen 
  • In-Game Music Prototype (Mockingboard)
  • Boss Battle: Multi-Tile Dragon

If you want to check it out, here's a link to the entire presentation!





Stay tuned for further announcements on our upcoming Kickstarter campaign.  We can't wait to get Nox Archaist into your hands!

Nox Archaist Update for June 2018

Hold on to your coin purse, the Thieves Guild has arrived!



We've made a lot of progress on Nox Archaist development this year, and we’ve saved up a couple big reveals for the presentation we'll be doing at KansasFest (July 17 - 22). Stay tuned for more details, including a live stream URL.

We’re also working diligently to launch a Kickstarter campaign to produce a boxed edition with a cloth map, printed manual, game artifacts and more! We are aiming for a campaign launch this year. In the meantime, here is a sample of some of the awesome artwork we’ve created for the campaign:







Thanks for your continued interest and support of Nox Archaist!

Thanks For Voting Nox Archaist #1 !!

Just recently a month-long poll at ultimacodex.com was held to determine the favorite Ultima-inspired fan project of 2017.  The voting has closed, and to our surprise, we ended up in first place!

We’re really honored that so many of you voted us as your favorite.  But, let’s not forget about all of the other projects going on right now, either.  Take a look at this link to see the results, but also to take a look at the (very big!) list of other awesome Ultima-inspired projects that are currently active.

Honestly, it feels great to know that we’ve received such a large amount of support from the community, especially considering some of the other fantastic projects out there.  That said, we did come out on top:  We are Number One!

Time for us to celebrate:





Wait, that’s the wrong sort of Number One.  Ah well, close enough.
