### [Sulis][sulis] - a Turn-Based RPG
48+
49+
![chest and inventory with items](/assets/newsletter-003/sulis-inventory.png)
50+
51+
[Sulis][sulis] is a Role Playing Game (RPG) with turn based, tactical combat,
52+
deep character customization and an engaging storyline.
53+
The game has been built from the ground up with modding
54+
and custom content in mind.
55+
Currently supported on Windows and Linux platforms.
56+
57+
The game is currently fully playable
58+
and includes the first act of The Twin Expanse,
59+
an old school RPG campaign in the vein of classic games
60+
such as _Baldur's Gate_,
61+
but mixing in modern elements from titles like
62+
_Divinity: Original Sin_ and _Pillars of Eternity_.
63+
64+
The core game engine as well as the campaign
65+
are still under heavy development.
66+
Users are encouraged to [file issues with bugs][sulis-issues],
67+
feature requests, or any other feedback.

Features:
72+
73+
- Cross platform native binaries, currently [built for Windows and Linux][sulis-releases]
74+
- Multiple campaigns with over 8 hours of playtime,
75+
featuring both handcrafted and procedural content.
76+
- We are designing a detailed and fully realized world and story - check out
77+
the [Lore page][sulis-lore].
78+
- Designed with modding in mind - although more work still needs
79+
to be done in this area.
80+
- A powerful 2D graphics engine with zoom, scalable UI, HiDPI support,
81+
and a swappable graphics backend.
82+
- Runs on very modest hardware - even software renderers
83+
(although at a reduced frame rate).
84+
85+
![ability tree gui](/assets/newsletter-003/sulis-abilities-tree.png)
86+
87+
The GPLv3-licensed [source code is hosted on GitHub][sulis-src].
88+
Sulis is written in Rust, with scripting in Lua and most data files in the YAML format.
