Lugdunon

Cinera LLC |

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 0.5.2 released. Important features: spells, spell crafting through research and ruins exploration, wolves, new items, new recipes, and more.

The most important feature for this release is the completed implementation of the magic and spell system.

Currently there are only 4 spells in the game, three varieties of direct healing spells, and one fire based direct damage spell. Many more will be coming soon!

Spells are learned from scrolls, which are themselves created using the new Arcane Research and Alchemy crafting disciplines. Once a spell is learned, it goes into your spell book, where it can then be placed onto your action bar.

The recharge indicator on the action bar has been altered slightly. It is now much larger and centered in the button:

New Charge / Recharge Action Bar States

Two new crafting stations were added in this release to serve the needs of the two new disciplines. First, the Researcher's Bench:

Arcane Researcher's Bench

And second, the Alchemist's Bench:

Raw materials for spell research can be gathered from resource nodes found in the ruins of an ancient civilization that lay scattered about the land. Pages from ancient tomes of lore and magic can be gathered from Scribe's Benches:

Runesources, ancient sources of elemental power, can be gathered from these Arcane Reliquaries:

A new screen has been put in place to indicate the initial client loading process. This is a big improvement over the previous blank white screen, and should help alleviate some of the confusion on initial load:
