Weekly Updates
Dev History
Years in the making and reforged more than once — from the first written words to the build you’ll soon play.
The saga begins
First concept art and story writing. The world of the Utmark, Arnulf’s oath, and what would become Oath of the Dead take shape on the page.
First playable code
The first game code is written — a top-down 2D pixel-art prototype, the saga’s first steps into an engine.
First beta test
The earliest iteration reaches its first testers — the first time anyone else walked the Utmark.
Reborn in 2.5D
Rebuilt in HTML/JSON as a 2.5D action-RPG — skills, inventory, quests, gold, and the streets of Midgard City.
The mechanical beta
A full mechanical beta launches — turn-based combat, progression, and the systems of the saga come together.
Reforged in Godot
The definitive build begins in Godot — true 3D, a custom terrain system, Blacksteel Castle and Brossfell, and Arnulf remade. The form the saga will ship in.
The closed beta
The next hands-on build, for the Vanguard. Apply to test and walk the Utmark before the gates open.
