January 11, 2026 - Archaos: beta 2

After quite a few years (people operating on geological time may be starting to sense a pattern here) I’ve updated the Archaos beta at www.rotates.org/archaos/2021

What’s new? Why, I thought you’d never ask!

  • Up to 8 players can now duke it out for wizardy supremacy.
  • Numerous bugs have been fixed, especially around mounted wizards.
  • Computer controlled wizards are now available, and can be mixed and matched with human players just like the original. They’re currently not the smartest tools in the shed, but they’re able to cast all spells and use all units reasonably effectively.
  • The code has had lots of inline documentation added, and the dependencies are almost entirely up to current versions (with the exception of Phaser, which introduced some breaking changes in recent versions that I need to catch up with).
All's fair in love and wizard war
Another hard day’s work in the realms of limbo.

You can follow along with the updates, check out the source code, raise issues or even contribute on the Github page here: https://github.com/lewster32/archaos

The game has also now been listed on Open Source Game Clones, so thanks to ju5 for doing that! It also has a listing on https://chaosremakes.fandom.com/wiki/Archaos which I’ve dutifully updated a bit.
