BRIGHTMOOR - An AI Ultima-style C64 game from GloomKeep II creator J5

Here's the latest game 'BRIGHTMOOR', a new Ultima-style retro RPG built from the ground up in 6502 assembly on the robust GloomKeep II engine with the help of AI. The game plunges players into a dark fantasy world where King Mordran, desperate to escape his own mortality, has struck a catastrophic bargain with an ancient force sleeping beneath the earth. As a result of this truce, the kingdom’s protective dawn bell has fallen silent, transforming the monarch into the Hollow King and plunging the realm into perpetual twilight. To restore daylight, a lone hero must venture across a massive 64 by 64 tile world and conquer six inverted black towers known as Gloomholds, which burrow deep into the earth rather than stretching into the sky.
