Code of the Savage Update #40

Geoff Jones brings us a new Kickstarter update for his Ultima-inspired RPG Code of the Savage that showcases the game’s new world map, a bunch of weapons, and a trippy quest where you’ll be entering the “dreamscape realm.” Here’s the latter:

And the text bits along with the actual changelog:

Greetings backers!

SO Kickstarter finally let us center images. What a time to be alive!… Anyway on to the update…

World Map

I’ve updated the world map which was very off. The buildings on the map now represent accurate locations and sizes. This will also give you a good feel for the world size. Road locations are now accurate too. I also added a splash of colour.

Weapons

I’ve added a bunch of new weapons and other items such as jewelry and shields to the game.

The “Dreamscape” Realm

Gunni, the psychedelic shaman wants you to help him brew some of his magical cactus juice. Drinking it will send you to the “dreamscape realm.”
