Experimental Co-op Textbased RPG (with rogue-ish tendencies) Playtesting

I've been building a kinda crazy game this year. I've long been a fan of roguelikes and other hardcore RPGs. And I've been thinking about this game for years. This January, I quit my job and I've been working on it fulltime for five months now. A lot of content is early still, but I think I have a solid engine and much of the core combat system functioning pretty well. I want to start doing some live stress tests on the server, as well as just get some people in the game for my own sanity =)

My friends and family are pretty bewildered by the whole thing, they think I'm crazy.

​

Playtesting invitations will go out in the next week or so, you can sign up to the mailing list at this very simple website!

You don't need a strong machine, just an up to date browser. Gameplay is brutal hardcore group based RPG. With strong emphasis on environmental awareness, co-operative strategy, and quick thinking. It's realtime, multiplayer, permadeath, lots of equipment and scavenging/crafting possibilities. It's definitely not your typical roguelike, although it is borrowing heavily from several aspects of roguelikes.

​

*spoiler* - The game engine itself will be hiding some [Ethereum](https://www.ethereum.org/) within the game during our playtesting sessions. There will also be some small bounty rewards for anyone who manages to bring down the server. So go sign up and help me break things!! Thankyou guys n gals!
