We’re opening Sepulchria to its first 50 players — a persistent browser-based fantasy world built around written roleplay

Hi everyone,
My friend and I have been building Sepulchria, a persistent online fantasy roleplaying world, and we’re finally getting ready to let other people inside. ☺️
Instead of joining a traditional campaign that exists only when everyone is online, you create one persistent character who lives in the same fantasy city as other players.
You can meet other characters, build relationships, join organisations, explore locations, uncover mysteries and take part in Game Master-led stories over time.

The game is focused heavily on written/social roleplay and collaborative storytelling, with character progression and a larger world developing around what players actually do.
We’re now recruiting the first 50 players for our Closed Alpha.

We call them The First Fifty.💫
This is a real Alpha, so we’re specifically looking for people who are comfortable giving feedback, finding things that don’t work and helping us understand what makes the world enjoyable — or confusing.

A few important things:
• Browser based — no download required
• Free to participate in the Alpha
• Written/text-based roleplaying
• One persistent character per account
• Shared fantasy world rather than isolated campaigns
• Social interaction and player relationships are a major part of the experience
• GM-led stories and events
• Dark fantasy / mystery atmosphere
If that sounds like your kind of thing, you can apply here: Alpha test

👉You can also learn more about the world at sepulchria.com.

We’re a very small team, so this first group is deliberately limited. Not everyone who applies will necessarily be selected for the first round, but there will be more opportunities later.

I’d also be happy to answer questions here about what we’re building.
Thanks for taking a look.

I want to know if making completely broken magic builds is actually fun

I’m making a small survivors-like where the goal isn't really to make a balanced build - it's to combine effects until things get completely stupid.

It's a browser game yet, so there's no download or installation.

I'm mainly looking for answers to 3 things:

  • Does the combat feel fun?
  • Are the spell combinations interesting enough to make you want another run?
  • Where did you get bored or confused?

You don't need to finish a run. 10–15 minutes is already extremely helpful.

If you have a game you'd like me to test in return, feel free to drop it below.

My most extensive game to date: RED KITE, a Metroidvania.

Hi everyone! RED KITE is my biggest game to date; it’s an action-platformer with a strong focus on the story.

It features plenty of cutscenes with pre-rendered 3D backgrounds, cool dialogue, and—in my opinion—great gameplay.

Since the game is still in development, only a playable demo (up to Level 10) is available right now. The full game isn't launching until June 20th, so please bear with any bugs or errors—I’ll be addressing those.

I’d really appreciate feedback on the story, as that’s where I put the most work in, as well as any other suggestions or ideas for improvement.

[Unpaid] Looking for playtesters to test Futbol Warriors

TL;DR
I'm looking for playtesters. Happy to playtest your game in return 🙏🏻

----

Hey everyone! ⚽⚔️

Just opened up the alpha of Futbol Warriors, built with Tesana.

The idea: soccer meets a medieval brawler. Two-minute, 11v11 matches with knights, mages, berserkers, ninjas and more. Pass, shoot, score… or knock an opponent down and cut off a limb. It gets pretty chaotic 😂

It’s an early alpha, and I’d love honest feedback on both the premise and the gameplay:
• Does the soccer + combat mix sound like something you’d play?
• After trying it, is the chaos fun, or does it get in the way of playing soccer?
• What’s the first thing you’d change to make you want another match?

Play here: https://tesana.com/play/990ca7a8-7975-4238-9419-fab0788a21d4

A quick first impression is welcome, even if the concept isn’t your thing. Tell me what works, what’s frustrating, and what breaks 🙏
