WYRN

WYRN is a personal passion project, started recently as a space to learn, refine, and apply self-taught techniques developed over the past four years of game development. Drawing from experiments across previous projects and tools, this prototype focuses on narrowing down a clear vision while embracing modern workflows to stay as lightweight, efficient, and maintainable as possible.

My aim is to create a versatile game that remains accessible to RPG fans, without sacrificing depth or long-term flexibility.

The game is currently in an early prototype phase and has no finalized lore yet. However, it builds upon the core traits that have shaped my past work: RPG-focused gameplay, combined with survival, crafting, and building systems in a fantasy-leaning voxel world.

WYRN is designed both for a singleplayer experience, while also aiming to deliver a true 1-to-1 co-op fidelity for up to 4 players. While co-op functionality is already being integrated, it remains restricted for now as it requires further polishing and optimization.

The plan is to release the base game with Singleplayer enabled, while the Co-Op may later be:

• released as a separate package on itch.io, or

• integrated into the main package with a possible slight price adjustment.

Before co-op public release, a free 4-player co-op server may be made available for those who are curious to try the multiplayer experience.

Lore Draft

As a first narrative concept, the Wyrn and the runestone featured in the game’s artwork represent an inter-world or dungeon-linking artifact known as the Wyrnstone—a mysterious teleportation stone connecting distant or fractured realms.

Technical Notes

WYRN features seed-based voxel world generation, with ongoing efforts to further compress and optimize loading—especially for hosts and singleplayer sessions—to keep runtime costs minimal.

Current resource usage (early prototype):

• Wyrn Client: ~800 MB RAM / ~100 MB disk space
