The No-Name Project

About this game

When I started creating this game, I asked myself, "What do I want to create?" and the answer was, "Freedom!"

Welcome to "The No-Name Project," where anything goes! Choose from 16 different character designs, with more on the way. In this game, you're free to adopt animals such as cows and cats, dogs and pigs, a mysterious bird, some dead monkeys, literally any NPC that you kill (if you learn necromancy), and even some weird dinosaurs that you have to revive yourself in your conquered castle (that you also have to conquer all by yourself) to help you on your journey. But that's just the beginning. With the power of necromancy, you can resurrect people from the graves you find throughout the game. Some you may have even killed yourself. Help a family one day, and kill them the next. Dig for gold in their basement, rob their graves, and resurrect them as your zombie slaves. The choice is yours. In "The No-Name Project," there are endless possibilities. Fish to your heart's content, mine for precious gems and ores, and cut down trees if you are into that. You can interact with almost anything in the wilderness, uncovering hidden secrets and lore. And the best part? "The No-Name Project" is updated almost twice a month with new content, so the adventure never ends.

• You start as a NO-NAME, hence the game's name!
  
• Save villagers (or don't), help them and/or work for them (or don't), kill them (or don't), rob their graves (or don't), resurrect them via necromancy (or don't), dig in their basement for gold (or don't), kill their chickens for meat (or don't).
  
• Fish/mine/craft.
  
• Build a boat and upgrade it up to Class S (that stands for Spaceship), then use it to trigger up to 40 random events. (Since Update 1.9.4.6)
  
• Cut trees, gather flowers, gather rocks, and travel where you want.
  
• Kill a king in order to become a king? Hold court events, and make your own religion.
  
• Own a restaurant.
  
• Go to jail!
  
• Build statues of yourself!
  
• Adorn your castle with 96 different flag possibilities.
  
• Join a warrior's guild and take bounties.
  
• Secret weapons and other items scattered everywhere.
  
• Upgrade your house and plant things in your garden.
  
• Magic College and underwater temple.
  
• Own a cow!? Also, a dog, cat, a weird entity, resurrect every grave you find in the wild, monkeys, a weird pork monster, a bird, a dinosaur, a treant, a bear cub (that can become a bear), people you killed, golems, and a chicken. (more to come) Some of them come with their backstory and can be upgraded.
  
• We invented a new alphabet that can be learned in-game at the Magic College and with it you can translate things you find in ruins to gain Archeology skill-points and bonuses.
  
• Go with an empty bottle in the bathroom for a surprise...
  
• Little gags everywhere.
  
• Cults that love cows. Also werecows (people-eating cows).
  
• Multiple dimensions.
  
• Buy a bar and a pizzeria, and upgrade the roads if you conquered a city.
  
• Fly into space.
  
• Unlock a lab that will allow you to cut your zombie's legs and arms and interchange the limbs in between them.

In this game, you will find tons of achievements, but more importantly, you will gain deep insights into the world that you will step into. You will find books that will explain many aspects of your character. Have a look out when you explore different islands in-game for the "Books of the Dead". They are a collection of books within the Codex that contain the memories and knowledge of beings inscribed by Gods. When someone reads one of these books from beginning to end, it grants them the power and knowledge of the previous user whose memories and knowledge are contained in that specific book.

  What was, what is, and what will be

  Hello, and first and foremost, thank you for being part of this journey thus far. The No-Name Project began over a year ago, around February, born out of my frustration with the lack of enjoyable games at the time. It started as a doodled idea on a piece of paper and soon evolved into a demo on itch.io. Despite initially facing rejection, with many ignoring my emails, one person did take notice (hi Cleff). Since then, I've dedicated almost all my free time to updating the game, constantly generating new ideas day in and day out. It was the most fulfilling period of my life, filled with the joy of writing and publishing idea after idea, until one day... As summer approached, I seized the opportunity to work on a substantial project that also utilized the skills I acquired in college. It seemed like the perfect job at the time, with the earnings intended to further develop and update the game. However, as my workload increased, my time for the game diminished. What once were daily updates became weekly, then monthly, and now bi-monthly. Nevertheless, I remain committed to enhancing the game in my spare time and adding more content, though I apologize for the recent lack thereof. Today, I'm thrilled to announce the release of the first game that inspired The No-Name Project: "Will I Survive Tonight?" This game delves into the events that transpired in your house centuries ago, offering hints about the location of the Mirror World and other historical occurrences. You can find it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2940420/Will_I_Survive_Tonight Thank you for joining me on this journey, and for your continued support. Together, we'll soon expand and unveil more content! Wishing you a fulfilling life ahead!
