Reforged Engine

Totally agree. CentrED# lowered the barrier a lot for world creators.
UO’s longevity really comes from both creators and toolmakers.
I’m developing a modern 2.5D UO-inspired engine, and this kind of work is exactly what motivates me.
soon we’ll be publishing demos and gameplay mechanics 😉

I’m developing a 2.5D engine for a UO-like game, and map creation is one of the hardest parts.
It’s not just placing houses randomly, it’s about biome transitions, flow, and coherence.
This map does that extremely well. Incredible work.

Beautiful Map, congrats

Deterministic isometric Z-sorting.

Player, trees, walls, corners and props
all competing correctly in depth

• No Y/Z draw hacks
• No sprite-size tricks
• Data-driven sort (FeetIso.Y + semantic layers)

What you see is exactly what the map author defined

Built on MonoGame ECS-first. #Monogame

I’m building Reforged Engine.

A 2.5D isometric game engine focused on:
• ECS-first architecture
• Deterministic, tick-based simulation (UO-inspired)
• Clean separation between logic and rendering
• TMX/Tiled workflow with multi-floor worlds

Built with MonoGame (C#).

More soon.

Using EndeavourOS (Arch-based) for engine development.
MonoGame has been solid and predictable on Linux so far.
