Chronicles IV: Ebonheim is a Fantasy-DOS-Era Hacklike that I've been building solo from scratch in my spare time since June, '22.

This game is filled with all of the things I love about games! It's the most excited I've ever been about a project!

@britown awesome! I'm always happy when I see people working on Ultima style games (even though Rogue likes are cool too) and even better if they document their dev process. Cheers!

@kwramm Ultima was definitely the initial inspo, the original structure was way more Ultima-like too! Mad sciencing in nethack is a recent development 😂

@britown Interested in the demo if you need players! It seems up my street.

What is your target minimum configuration?

@montyontherun I haven't done much testing here but it's targeted at modern hardware with SDL2. The GPU requirements are negligent (OpenGL 2.0), the performance bottleneck would be CPU due to software rasterization and non-dos-era-feasible logical calculations

@britown I was under the impression it was really for DOS 😅

But looks great, regardless of being really for DOS or not

@montyontherun sorry for the confusion! I tried to use the term "Fantasy-DOS-era" but it's come up a few times, probably need to change the wording
