Hi Explorers!
Welcome to the Zarktor's Realm Dev Diary #2.
I'm super excited to announce that we have locked in our spot as an indie exhibitor at PAX Aus Game expo to be held at Melbourne's Convention and Exhibition Centre between 7-9 October this year. We have managed to secure Indie booth #20 which is right near the Queue Hall entrance in the middle section. We hope to have a couple of PCs there for people to have a play of the game and chat to us.
Pax Aus is the biggest game expo in the southern hemisphere so we're pumped to be going there to show off Zarktor's Realm. Badge tickets are selling fast (3-day badges are sold out) so get over to https://aus.paxsite.com/ to secure yours now!
Come say Hi to us and if you say the super top-secret passphrase "Relic of Gildas" we'll give you some cool merchandise (while stocks last!)
We've been working on the structure and scope of the playable demo that we'll be presenting at PAX. We're keen to include all the main game mechanics you'll be playing in the full game along with dungeon expeditions and NPC quests.
This week we also did a major upgrade of the main Unity development workstation from a simple office PC to an Auros C700 Gaming System with an Intel i9 12900KS (currently the fastest CPU on the market) which will allow us to turnaround builds more quickly and alleviate memory limitations with the old motherboard.
We were pleasantly surprised with the performance in Unity and had to have a quick scoot around the zone on horseback to check out the performance stats with volumetric skies, dynamic lighting and 4k resolution (this is running in the unity editor at 125 FPS with no optimisation yet). Of course, we'll continue to validate on the other testbed platforms too, such as an Intel i5 laptop, i7 desktop, Apple imac and the Steam Deck.
We hope this article has been interesting for you. We'd love to hear from you, so please drop into our Discord Server or follow us on social media.

If you enjoyed playing Skyrim and Fallout 3, love Monty Python humour and listen to Heavy Metal, you're in luck. We do too, and we're blending that inspiration here!
Zarktor's Realm is a beautiful open-world RPG adventure set in medieval England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Explore the world on horseback, uncover the truth behind Arthurian legends, and battle hordes of the undead. Use melee, ranged, and magical combat to overcome powerful evil entities. Gather new weapons and apply powerful shards to upgrade them, and solve complex quests with multiple outcomes. Will you become the next legend?
Choose your starting character from a lineup of Knights, Warriors, Templars, Assassins, Mages, or the Hunter and their despised sister, the Necromancer. Each has a unique story arc intertwined with the main game story, each their own skill tree, and include unique dialogue choices for varied role play fun.
Explore 6th Century Britain during the Volcanic Winter of 536 AD and the Plague of Justinian - arguably one of the worst periods in history to be alive. Monumental quests beckon you to solve these cataclysmic events. A truly Immersive storyline and a stunningly presented game world showcases realism and beauty in this fantasy tale. Talk to interesting NPCs and explore branching dialogue for hiliarious antics, fun easter eggs and exciting side quests.
Master various forms of combat: ranged, melee, "Advanced" medieval technology, and of course, magic. Unlock your true potential and take on hordes of "Plague Husk" undead, hunt wild beasts, and take down a corrupted hierarchy of powerful evil that stands in your way and threatens the world.
Search castles, dungeons, catacombs and caves to solve complex quests entwined in mystery and intrigue. Along the way, make sure to retrieve powerful magical items, seals and sigils as you'll need them to battle the most powerful demons.
Of course, you can't have demons without heavy metal and we're writing some tunes we hope you'll enjoy as a backdrop to your exciting battles in the abyss.
Experience a rich and engaging storyline incorporating real events from the 6th Century. The choices you make in branching dialogue and quests will affect the world around you and result in different story outcomes. These may also vary depending on the starting character you choose.
