## Game Updates

### [Sulis][sulis] - a Turn-Based RPG

![chest and inventory with items](/assets/newsletter-003/sulis-inventory.png)

[Sulis][sulis] is a Role Playing Game (RPG) with turn based, tactical combat,
deep character customization and an engaging storyline.
The game has been built from the ground up with modding
and custom content in mind.
Currently supported on Windows and Linux platforms.

The game is currently fully playable
and includes the first act of The Twin Expanse,
an old school RPG campaign in the vein of classic games
such as _Baldur's Gate_,
but mixing in modern elements from titles like
_Divinity: Original Sin_ and _Pillars of Eternity_.

The core game engine as well as the campaign
are still under heavy development.
Users are encouraged to [file issues with bugs][sulis-issues],
feature requests, or any other feedback.

Features:

- Cross platform native binaries, currently [built for Windows and Linux][sulis-releases]
- Multiple campaigns with over 8 hours of playtime,
featuring both handcrafted and procedural content.
- We are designing a detailed and fully realized world and story - check out
the [Lore page][sulis-lore].
- Designed with modding in mind - although more work still needs
to be done in this area.
- A powerful 2D graphics engine with zoom, scalable UI, HiDPI support,
and a swappable graphics backend.
- Runs on very modest hardware - even software renderers
(although at a reduced frame rate).

The GPLv3-licensed [source code is hosted on GitHub][sulis-src].
Sulis is written in Rust, with scripting in Lua and most data files in the YAML format.
