It&#8217;s pretty cryptic, and mostly focused on getting things like gamepad support working on the positively ancient Sword of Moonlight engine.<\/p>\n<p>We do get some story deets though: Tears of the Moon is set thousands of years before Lunacid proper, and has us playing as Calamis Cerulean, a very spoilery character in the main game. While Lunacid saw us trying to wake up the great beast that&#8217;s dreaming the world, putting an end to a fallen age, Tears of the Moon is about lulling it back to sleep so the world can survive until that time.<\/p>\n<p>And now for the insanely cool tech behind the game, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.swordofmoonlight.org\/wiki\/Sword_of_Moonlight\" target=\"_blank\">Sword of Moonlight<\/a>. I consider myself a pretty big FromSoftware fan, and I still wasn&#8217;t familiar with this utility. Originally released in 2000, Sword of Moonlight is a flexible, powerful, but seemingly approachable tool for creating PC fan games using a modified King&#8217;s Field engine, as well as a library of King&#8217;s Field and Shadow Tower assets that devs can build on with their own work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;FromSoftware&#8217;s own Super Mario Maker&#8221; is a cursed phrase that came to my mind unbidden and I couldn&#8217;t shake. But really, Sword of Moonlight has more in common with the Aurora Toolset for Neverwinter Nights or DromEd for Thief given its greater flexibility in allowing custom assets, art, and code\u2060. FromSoftware (and BioWare and Looking Glass) does what Ninten<em>don&#8217;t<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy-box\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">Best of the best<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' >\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"QJ7JHgYv6WEL9dHitak4vS\" name=\"BG3 Dark Urge.png\" caption=\"\" alt=\"The Dark Urge, from Baldur's Gate 3, looks towards his accursed claws with self-disdain.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/one-of-my-favorite-indie-rpgs-is-getting-a-follow-up-made-with-fromsoftwares-25-year-old-super-mario-maker-for-first-person-dungeon-crawlers.png\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"pinterest-pin-exclude\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Larian Studios)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: Upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: All-time favorites<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The <em>pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance<\/em> is that FromSoft released it under a shockingly permissive EULA that even allows developers to monetize their games as paid products\u2060\u2014hence Tears of the Moon&#8217;s Steam release. This is a vanishingly rare thing in games, a generous gesture that feels so in keeping with the PC&#8217;s anarchic, DIY spirit. Doom&#8217;s open source nature is something similar that comes to mind. Sword of Moonlight continues to be supported by a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swordofmoonlight.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">passionate community<\/a>, and has a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swordofmoonlight.com\/games\/\" target=\"_blank\">library of completed projects<\/a> that reminds me of fantastic modding rabbit holes like Doom, Thief or Neverwinter Nights.<\/p>\n<p>In the manual, Kira wrote that, &#8220;This being tech from 2000 and using its own strange file formats, my creation process was greatly hindered and limited. But I sought to use these limits to challenge myself and be more creative.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And because of this engine&#8217;s age, it won&#8217;t play as well on every system. But I believe these quirks will add to its placement as a prequel set in a more ancient time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Given Tears of the Moon&#8217;s presumably smaller scope and withered tech, I would expect it to come in well under Lunacid proper&#8217;s already-bargain $14 price tag.
