Old Grounds is now available on itch.io.

It’s a retro-inspired multiplayer RPG built around the things I miss most from older online games: exploring without being constantly guided, gradually learning how the world works, finding better equipment, fighting things you probably shouldn’t be fighting yet, and the unpredictable nonsense that happens when other players get involved.
The game is still actively being developed, so this release is very much the beginning rather than the finish line. I’ll be expanding the world, adding systems, improving combat and progression, and generally breaking and rebuilding things as the project grows.
If old-school RPGs, persistent worlds, pixel art, or slightly unforgiving game design are your thing, I’d genuinely love for you to give it a try.
Feedback is especially welcome — including the “this is terrible, here’s why” variety.
