Hello everyone! My name is Artur Smiarowski, and I'm the creator of Soulash, a traditional, turn-based, fantasy roguelike where you take the role of a forgotten god set on destroying the world. I've been developing the game for the past 4 years focusing on gameplay and limiting the presentation to just ASCII characters, but about 3 months ago I've partnered with a very talented artist to bring an alternative style to the game. You can see it best in our trailer:

Soulash is a little different from the standard fantasy formula, where you can explore what it would be like to be an existential threat to the whole world. It features a big open world, destructible terrain, dynamic weather system, dialogue system, crafting with multiple different skills, and extensive modding support with in-game editors.

We're currently running a Kickstarter campaign to secure funds to apply this style to the whole game. If there's enough interest, we would also love to add other big features many players asked for like building, servants, factions, and procedural world generator. We have a working demo of the graphics mod with a link on our Kickstarter page, so you can give it a try yourself. The game was also recently featured by Nookrium on youtube, if you would like to have a glimpse of the gameplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neDXMsNsuvM

If you think this sounds like something for you, please join us at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/asmiarowski/soulash-classic-fantasy-roguelike and help us out, we will appreciate any contribution and we're prepared very cool tiers where you can design a new race, profession, ability, or even a god. You can also be immortalized on a gravestone with a flavor text of your choice.
