About the Game

Build a living RPG world, then invite people in.

Wellspring is an online world-creation engine in the spirit of classic MUDs and deep roguelikes. Host a persistent server that stays alive while you sleep, run a one-shot adventure for friends, or craft a full single-player campaign. Everything is built in-game, with no code and no external tools.

Your friends don't need to buy anything to play in your world. The free client lets anyone join a hosted game. They install it, connect, and they're in.

What You Can Do

  • Build entire worlds. Create maps, races, classes, items, NPCs, monsters, encounters, and events through in-game editors.

  • Host online sessions. Run games for up to 16 players on persistent servers that keep living between sessions.

  • Play solo. Explore community modules from the Steam Workshop at your own pace.

  • Share through the Workshop. Publish your world as a module, or download adventures made by others.

Not a Campaign, a Platform

Wellspring ships with a tutorial world that teaches you the ropes, but the heart of the game is what gets built with it. Every module is a world someone dreamed up: persistent realms, one-shots, linear campaigns, sprawling dungeons, experimental hubs. Yours can be next.

The rules engine is data-driven, so you can tune classes, formulas, and systems to fit your world without ever writing code.

ASCII & Tileset Modes

Each module can offer one or both visual styles, and players can switch on the fly.

  • ASCII mode. Clean, fast, pure old-school soul.

  • Tileset mode. Grid-based sprite visuals, with support for custom art.

No artist? No problem. The built-in ASCII set carries the whole game, so creators can focus on design and world logic.

One Game, One Price, Free Friends

Wellspring is a single purchase. No editions, no DLC, no subscriptions. Buying it gives you everything: the creation tools, hosting, solo play, and Workshop publishing.

The Guest Client is free forever, so anyone can join your world without paying a cent.
