Dungeonpunk Online is an indie Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game currently in development, set in a decaying world thrown into chaos. Sprawling and dangerous dungeons have mysteriously emerged between the dystopian cities of the old world, marking the dawn of a new age of discovery. These perilous lands are filled with riches waiting to be claimed, secrets to uncover, and adventures for those daring enough to overcome their challenges and face the ever-present threat of death. As a player, you will take on the role of a punk—one of the bold few who have embraced the dungeons as the last refuge from the corruption of the old world. In them, you’ll find not only danger but the freedom to forge your own path.
Philosphy & Design
Dungeonpunk Online draws inspiration from both classic and modern MMORPGs. While group-focused gameplay will be at the core, solo content will be designed to complement and enhance multiplayer experiences, making it accessible for different playstyles and schedules. Social interaction will be deeply woven into the game, with multiplayer dungeons, trading systems, and collaborative quests bringing players together in meaningful ways.
Combat & Roles
Roles-based combat, inspired by the "holy trinity" concept in legacy MMORPGs, will be foundational to Dungeonpunk Online. The traditional roles of tank, healer, and damage dealer are just the beginning—players will branch out into a variety of specialties. Over time, new roles will emerge as players define and refine them, leading to evolving strategies and deeper group dynamics.
Progression
Your journey in Dungeonpunk Online will be shaped by the choices you make. The game will feature a classless progression system that offers freedom and flexibility, allowing players to specialize their characters as they see fit. Your role in the world, within groups, and in your clan will be shaped by the skills and abilities you choose for your character.
Marketplace of Adventure
Dungeonpunk Online will feature a spontaneous, dynamic quest system—a marketplace of quests where objectives evolve based on player interactions. This system will fuel emergent storytelling, with player action being the driver of in-game events.
Permanently Playable
Designed to be permanently playable through distributed server software, Dungeonpunk Online will offer the freedom to play on official servers, player-hosted servers, or your own personal server with friends. This flexible system ensures that Dungeonpunk Online servers will remain active and thriving, no matter where or how you choose to play.
