Lugdunon is a 2d multiplayer RPG / sandbox game that is reminiscent of the 16 bit console era. Lugdunon runs within your web browser, so no client download is needed. Lugdunon can also be played ‘on the go’ on mobile devices such as iPads and Android tablets. Players can engage in combat with each other or with NPCs, craft and trade items, empower their character with the advancement system, place and decorate in-game signs using the full-featured sign editor, and more! However, what is really interesting about Lugdunon is the ability to take the game and truly make it your own. With powerful in-game editors available to players who have been designated ‘Game Masters’ and the ability to run your own server, the sky is the limit! Currently, from within the game itself, Game Masters can create new crafting recipes, add and edit NPCs, paint the landscape using up to 16 terrain layers, raise and lower elevation to create cliffs and chasms, place items, and edit NPC spawn points.

Alpha 0.4.6 released. Important features include an all new starting area, complete with quests, ambient sounds, new items, usability improvements, and bug fixes.

Ambient sounds implemented. This allows for placement, effective radius, volume, and falloff. A small example is located at the dock to the south of the starting farm.

Phase I of the default campaign is complete. It consists of 4 short quests, centered around a farm, that are designed to introduce several aspects of the game (planting, gathering, and crafting). The quest system was fleshed as well for this release. Implemented a quest item flag, as well as crafting and planting quest objectives.

Here is a screenshot of the new starting area:

Starting area for the default campaign.

Items on tap for 0.4.7 include completing the ambient sound editor, and implementing a temporary guest login feature for those wanting to take a peek at the game but are not quite ready to register. Phase II of the default campaign should go in, leading the player to the regional capital and introducing them to combat.

For an added bonus I put together a short video detailing an interesting aspect of the game: Campfires. Campfires can be crafted and placed by the user. They can function as a crafting station for the cooking skill and must be fed fuel to keep them going. They can also be extinguished with a bucket of water and will melt any snow that they are placed upon.
