Grab what exists. Stare longingly at what doesn't. The Legends of the Ashborn text download is live. Next up on Steam: a small Walkaround Prologue (short, atmospheric, monetizable), an Ashborn Roguelike (replayable, funding-friendly), then an Ashborn Boss Hunt (Raid‑Lite) — the bridge between “runs” and the full MMO. The MMO comes after the forge proves itself.
"Patience is a virtue. Rage is better. But for now, patience."
The complete saga in one blood-soaked manuscript. No game UI clutter. Pure prose.
A short, paid prologue on Steam. No combat — just atmosphere, lore, and the first steps into Solhaven.
This is the first commercial release path: ship the prologue, then scale up.
Fast runs. Brutal deaths. Real progression. A smaller game that can ship early and fund the bigger one.
When this lands, it’s the “many more programs” phase — repeated releases without MMO scope.
Short hunts. Big bosses. The bridge between the roguelike and the MMO — built to prove combat, loot, and co‑op.
This is the “mid-layer” game: MMO-grade combat and progression without MMO scope.
Mass extinction events. Server-wide humiliation. Your legacy in ruins.
The servers aren't built to contain this much suffering. Yet.
🔥 FORGED ON A CUSTOM ENGINE 🔥
Forged by Flame isn’t built in Unity or Unreal. It runs on a custom engine and toolchain we’ve been building from the metal up — language, compiler, and renderer designed specifically for this world.
