Realms & Ruins: Abencor is a first-person, grid-based, open world, retro, pixel art dungeon crawler harkening back to the days of yore. Realms & Ruins takes inspiration from games like Wizardry and Might & Magic and other cRPG's of the 90's.

January 2026 - Happy new year! Road to release!

7 Jan

Just a quick update, only a few bullet points but a major milestone has been completed.

Updated several item descriptions
Added 18 new items to the game
Added 8 new skills, with all skills now functionally complete pending final code polishing and testing
Refactored some skills to be dynamic based on your equipment. For example, the "Channel Arcana" skill casts a different spell based on the magic book you have equipped. This will also be the base for other skills, like throwing weapons (different thrown weapons have different effects). This also doubles as a "dual wield" type mechanic, where your offhand equipment isn't just for shields, but magic books or thrown weapons and your primary weapon is still used for the default attack.

After I finish some of the QA on skills I have to implement quests/dungeons on where those skills and items will be gained and then I do final playtesting for release. Depending on how much I get done in the next 30 days I may be ready to have a release date.

As always thanks for following development. Join me on discord, wishlist on steam and follow me on blue sky and itch!

December 2025: New Trailer, Release Timeline, Some Updates

12 Dec, 2025

Happy holidays! I hope everyone is staying warm. This update focuses on refining core combat systems, improving status effect behavior, and tightening up map design. I’ve also put together a new gameplay trailer! Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYam5mPMNIA

At this point, Realms & Ruins: Abencor is functionally complete. I’m currently waiting on an upcoming RPG in a Box engine update to address a few remaining game-breaking issues before release and do some refining in the meantime. If all goes well, I’m aiming for a Q1 2026 release.

Updates specifics here:

Refactored the shield block skill to dynamically reduce damage based on the equipped shield’s stats
Fixed the blind condition so it correctly clears after its timer expires
Refactored the poison condition with a custom script to prevent infinite stacking
Adjusted antidote potion behavior to account for the poison changes
Scripted 4 additional player skills
Reduced the scope of several maps that were overly large but didn't offer anything compelling in that large space

Thanks again for following development. Join me on discord, wishlist on steam and follow me on blue sky and itch!

October 2025 - Polish and Performance enhancements

10 Oct, 2025

This month’s update focuses on a lot of polish and performance tweaks in addition to some things I had been procrastinating on while working on other tasks. I did an entire playthrough, recorded footage and came out with some tighter boss fights, smoother dungeons, better enemies, and a some other needed updates and improvements. From fresh traps to refined systems, things are really coming together.

Recorded several hours of gameplay for an updated trailer (which I need to re-record at a higher resolution whoops)
Balanced the lava dungeon boss’s HP and reworked boss mechanics to prevent scripting errors
Added mana recovery when resting
Configured enemy spawns, loot, and behaviors in the Volcano dungeon, Northlands, and final dungeon
Added a new puzzle to the Bastion of the Prism
Fixed and optimized navigation lines, tiles, and collisions across multiple maps (Ship Graveyard, Sunken Galleon, and others)
Fixed z-fighting issues and a broken container in the Orc Lair
Fixed a missing animation on the Orc Axe
Refactored the weather system to prevent disappearing effects and improve performance
Optimized three maps to reduce load times and improve FPS
Fixed collision issues on grass/snow tiles that caused camera shakes
Created, scripted, and tested a new trap type for use in several dungeons
Refactored portal stones scripts for more consistent function and to prevent edge-case errors
Fixed missing roof and wall tiles in several maps
As always, if you like what you see don't forget to wishlist join the discord to hang out or follow me on bluesky/itch!
