*** EARLY ACCESS WARNING ***
A Lonesome Tale is, at this point in time, VERY early access and is limited in both content and mechanics. With that said, the game IS seeing regular updates (almost nightly). If you are looking for a full game, or early access titles turn you off, I would recommend waiting until A Lonesome Tale becomes a bit more 'cooked'. However, if you want to take part in the evolution of a new roguelike and don't mind the occasional game-breaking bug, then A Lonesome Tale may indeed tickle your fancy!
We are currently looking at releasing the game in its earliest form this October 2024! Check back for more updates or follow the devlogs over on my Patreon.
A Lonesome Tale is the newest spiffy title by Scribed Skull Studios! (a.k.a. little ol' me) set to release into Early Access VERY soon! It's a dungeon-crawaler roguelike/town builder that takes inspiration from some of my all-time favorites such as Nethack and TOME with plenty of enemies, items and useless 'skillz'!
In its current state, A Lonesome Tale features:
Completely randomized dungeon levels for added 'spiffiness'!
Collectible items for crafting!
Fight by way of melee & ranged weapons, or devastate your foes with forbidden magick!
Randomized attributes for each item, enemy and hero.
An elaborate stats system shared between all heroes and enemies!
A day and night cycle with fancy lighting!
Permadeath... but not quite! Continue your quest as someone new each and every time you bite the big one!
A save game system that doesn't break with updates!
A nice sized overland map where you can gather resources and build until it hurts.
A store system! Sell all the spoils of war and buy useless trinkets!
A crafting system that rewards inquisitive minds!
A construction system that allows you to build and manage your own town; if you build it, they will come!
There will be plenty more to come, so stay tuned!
