Geneforge 1 - Mutagen news & patch notes

We have launched the Kickstarter for our next game, and we're thrilled to finally return to the world of Avernum! Avernum 4: Greed and Glory will be an epic, indie, turn-based fantasy role-playing adventure for Windows, Mac, and iPad. It continues the saga of Avernum, a nation in caverns far under the world, full of misfits, adventures, treasures to be found, and monsters to hunt (and that hunt you). It will be a remaster of the indie RPG cult-classic Avernum 4, which came out way back in 2005. The original is a massive RPG, full of skilled warriors and wizards using a multitude of weapons, spells, and artifacts to conquer an enormous world. It is old and doesn't run well anymore. We will completely rework everything to make a great, modern game. The Kickstarter will run until October 16th and comes with a huge variety of stretch goals and backer rewards. You can get all sort of merch, including stickers, hand-drawn original art, and the original, signed, annotated designs from our first game (back in 1994). We humbly ask for your support as we take this mostly-forgotten game from our past and rebuild it as something really cool.

Spiderweb Software's next epic adventure is coming out on March 27, 2024! Geneforge 2 – Infestation is a truly open-ended fantasy adventure in a unique world of alien fantasy. You are one of the Shapers, wizards with the awesome power to create life. Want a tool, a trap, an army? You summon it into existence. You create mighty beasts, and they totally obey you. Usually. But your people have grown lazy and complacent, and a threat has appeared. Your creations are no longer content to serve you. You are lost in a wild, savage mountain range. A rebellion is growing there, and it offers you awesome power if you join. Will you use your powers to destroy the rebels or aid them? Bring peace or lead them to war? The choices are all yours! To see a trailer or wishlist Geneforge 2, go here! Geneforge 2 – Infestation offers unmatched freedom in how you play. Fight alone with blades, missiles, or magic, or create your own army of custom-made mutant monsters. Alternately, use trickery, diplomacy, and stealth to win the game without ever attacking a foe. There's no 'bad guy'. Choose between a host of rival factions or just destroy everything. Geneforge 2 is an epic fantasy adventure with almost ninety zones to explore, 50+ hours of gameplay, and huge replayability. Choose from dozens of spells, weapon skills, abilities, and creations to make to reach a vast array of different endings. The rebellion has begun. Awesome wealth and power is yours for the taking. What will you do? Geneforge 2 – Infestation is a total remaster of our 2003 cult-classic Geneforge 2. It contains new areas, quests, characters, and dialogue, a redone interface and systems, and a complete reworking of every single thing to bring it into the modern era of gaming.

We have launched a Kickstarter for our next title, a full remaster of Geneforge 2, released wayyyy back in 2003. Geneforge 2 - Infestation will be the second chapter in the reborn Geneforge Saga. We want to go over it and redo everything, adding new characters, quests, monsters to create, and training paths to scorch (or save) the mountains of Drypeak. We’re really excited about the remasters. The first one, Geneforge 1 - Mutagen, is our best-selling game in a long time, and its follow-up will have a lot of fun new stuff to keep the series fresh for newcomers and old fans alike. The Kickstarter will run for a month, and it has a mix of old and new stretch goals and rewards. Backers can still add content to the game (an experiment which has been a huge success), and, for the first time, you can now get physical Spiderweb merch. We can only still make our odd little games with the support of our fans, and we're hugely grateful.
