Dear Reader:
Kickstarter - Silk, a sandbox RPG meant as a tribute to the ZX Spectrum adventure classic, The Lords of Midnight
Silk is a Sandbox RPG Adventure Game and a tribute to the late Mike Singleton, especially his groundbreaking 1984 game The Lords of Midnight.
The engine used to produce the world of Silk has an identical design to the original ‘landscaping engine’ he designed, although it uses 2D assets rendered in Unity to create a more vibrant feeling wilderness with retro roots and a contemporary lo-fi vibe. All the exploration and warfare of the original will be here, along with trading and recruiting Advisors who make up an RPG party inspired by the Clan Ring of King of Dragon Pass.
Chris Bateman, designer of 1999 adventure game Discworld Noir and puzzle strategy title Ghost Master, is the one heading up the Kickstarter for Silk, which is a tribute to '80s ZX Spectrum adventure classic, The Lords of Midnight. The Kickstarter is looking to pull in £15,000 to release on Switch.
