Code of The Savage

I'm pleased to announce The Code of The Savage demo is OUT NOW on Steam. ⚔️ An open-world RPG inspired by Ultima. Watch the demo launch trailer below, then give it a try using the demo link on my profile.

In Code of The Savage, NPCs have their own lives. They bake bread, work the forge, fish, stop for a chat and have a drink together after work. I've spent years trying to make those little lives feel real. And if you interrupt their day, they'll have something to say about it.

The story of Code of The Savage continues beyond the demo. In the full game, you can head east to Cravenfield, where miners unwind after a long day’s work. Or, if you choose, head south to Dewhurst or seek out the fighting pit of Bainsfield... and much more.

この1週間で、日本から1,156件ものウィッシュリスト登録！🇯🇵 日本の皆さん、Code of The Savageへのたくさんの応援、本当にありがとうございます！体験版を遊んでくれた方も、ゲームを紹介してくれた方も、ありがとう！ 1,156 wishlists from Japan in the past week! 🇯🇵 Thank you so much for all the love for Code of The Savage! To everyone who’s played the demo or helped spread the word, thank you!

As well as being a huge Ultima nerd, I'm also a huge TNG nerd... must have seen every episode more times than I can remember... Patrick Stewart was incredibly inspiring in the role of Picard. RIP captain.

I couldn't understand a lot of it, but from what I could translate, it looks like he was having fun with it! Thank you for playing!... the "No private room for Harold?" comment at the brothel made me laugh 😜

Excellent review of CoTS - Thankyou @AvrengostGames youtu.be/Ua-2giohxIo?si=UTnb…

As Steam Next Fest wraps up, we just ticked over to 30,000 outstanding wishlists... It doesn't seem that long ago that I was celebrating 20,000. I was blown away by all the support I received during Next Fest. People spending HOURS playing the demo, with one reportedly racking up over 20 hours. People uploading hours-long playthroughs, finding secrets and bits of lore I'd added years ago and forgotten were even there. My head is still spinning a bit. I spent a lot of time polishing the game for the demo release, with plenty of late nights staying up until 2 am fixing something. But there's nothing quite like putting your game in other people's hands to show you the things you've stopped noticing after years of working on it. Watching people play and reading their feedback helped me see where things were confusing, awkward or just not working properly. That pushed me to keep making improvements, fixing bugs and smoothing out the things getting in the way of people enjoying the game. Thank you to everyone who played, shared the game and took the time to send feedback. And to those who've been following COTS for years, thank you for sticking with me. I can't wait to share the rest of this world with you. (... and yes that wall is coming down.)

This video shows the new targeting system, inventory controls, quickslots, radial menus and more in v1022. (mouse and kb focused update will be next) DEMO available now on Steam!

日本のプレイヤーの皆さん、温かい応援とたくさんのフィードバックを本当にありがとうございます！ バージョン1021では、日本語の読みやすさを大きく改善しました。文字サイズ、会話、書籍、ヘルプ画面、Steam Deckでの表示を調整し、欠けていた文字や名前表示の問題も修正しています。 英語名と日本語名を切り替える設定も、より分かりやすくなりました。これからも少しずつ改善していきます！ codeofthesavage.com/wishlist… Code of The Savage

Had a lot of requests for custom key bindings in Code of The Savage. I'm working on it.. It's something I wanted to add for a while actually.

Thank thee for reporting thy feat! A true life of virtue... aside from that 1 less than virtuous act...

Great video - I do try to keep thank jankl fun :)

Thank you for playing and covering!

Went out and bought myself a second hand steam deck complete with a pink kitty cat cover (bonus!) - for testing CoTS on the deck. Awesome! I never thought I would be playing code of the savage on a handheld device. 🌸
