Progress update #6 - Shady characters, rolling rocks, more!
We finished a questline involving a shady NPC. He is first introduced in the dungeons of the castle in the north. If the player decides to free the character, his help can be enlisted in releasing the Master, who is standing trial, from his holding cell. The maps for the Dragonfly Fen were implemented. This is a large marshy area, reclaimed from the sea long ago. It is situated to the east of the Ort grasslands, and is accessible via airship. We implemented a puzzle which is located in the ancient Temple high in the mountains in the north. The player is tasked with guiding a rolling rock into specific locations in order to unlock doors and passage to further areas. To the east of the Dragonfly Fen lies an ancient forest. The entrance is guarded by an old and secluded people. In the forest are key areas, such as a giant tree and some sort of factory. Finally, we added a sleepy and grumpy giant to the Dragonfly Fen. The giant isn't particularly interested in anything the player has to say, so it is up to the player to figure out if there are any magic spells that could help the giant take a nap.

Fates of Ort is a retro inspired fantasy RPG with a focus on strategic action and a story driven by player choices. It is a tale of sacrifice and difficult choices, in a world under threat of annihilation by the avaricious force of consumption magic.

There are numerous ancient forgotten spells, yearning to be learned and uttered once more. How each spell manifests in the world depends on what divine power you choose to combine it with – the unbridled passion of Life, the measured incisiveness of the Mind, or the devastating force of the Shadow. For example, the Evoke Force spell will cause the ground to erupt with a series of sharp ice crystals, summon a thunderous lightning strike, or barrage the ground with a meteor shower – all depending on what the spell is combined with.![]()
Magic is powerful, but it is not free. Every spell you cast requires a little bit of your life energy to spark it. Cast enough spells and you will extinguish your very soul. This means you need to be strategic when fighting, balancing the cost of magic with the risk of taking damage from your enemies. Replenish your life energy by approaching one of the magical spikes littered around the world, which were driven into the ground eternities ago to bind Consumption in the depths below.![]()
In Ort, time stands still when you do. This adds another dimension of strategy, as you are able to consider your moves carefully. There is nothing holding you back – as long as you are moving or performing an action, your enemies will come rushing to destroy you. Use this ability to mould time to your advantage by carefully avoiding projectiles and setting up elaborate traps to defeat your enemies.
- A hybrid of real time and turn based action
- Multiple spells to discover and combine with elements for varied effects
- Endless gear to find – some ordinary, some cursed, some utterly legendary…
- NPC interactions that fundamentally alter the course of the story progression
