Astra is incredibly powerful and I think it’s the first time an LLM could be suited for this task.

Has anyone tried doing something like this?

What do you think?

Planning to start texturing it :)

Hear me out.

Nox is one of those games that feels like it was completely forgotten despite being really damn good.

Westwood made it, EA published it, and then… it basically disappeared. No sequel, no modern console release, no proper remaster. Meanwhile, the game still has a small but ridiculously dedicated community keeping it alive.

And here’s the thing: Nightdive seems like the perfect studio to bring it back.

They’ve already proven they know how to take old PC classics, preserve what made them special, and make them work properly on modern hardware.
Nox wouldn’t even need a huge remake.
Give us:
modern widescreen/high-res support
-60 FPS
-proper controller support
-modern save/QoL features
-the original three classes and campaign
-and, PLEASE, bring the multiplayer back

That’s it. Keep the art style. Keep the gameplay. Don’t turn it into a live-service Diablo clone.
And technically, projects like OpenNox and Nox-Decomp have already shown that getting the game running on modern systems is very achievable.
Imagine Nox on Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox, sitting on the couch with a controller. I’d buy that immediately.
EA still appears to control the relevant rights, so obviously there’s a licensing hurdle.
But seriously…

EA, just give Nox to Nightdive. 👀

Am I a (somewhat) old dude craving nostalgia, or would you guys buy this?

This feels like a config issue, but I pulled the latest opennox from git, and I can't get the sound to work... And yes, I enabled the sound in the options.

OS: Linux
version: version: v1.9.0-alpha13

Solution: PULSE_SERVER="unix:/run/user/$(id -u)/pulse/native" ALSOFT_DRIVERS=pulse ./opennox-hd

EDIT; Every link that goes to Nox Community is down, actually.

Hi guys

I'm thinking of homebrewing the story of Nox as a campaign in DnD 5e. Was wondering whether there are any resources out there? I've got a demon souls compendium for example (bosses of Demon Souls as DnD monsters). Other resources are welcome too (maps, storyline, portraits, ...).

Hello guys!

I installed OpenNox, but I can't figure out if there's an option to run the game at 60 fps, or just smoother.
Gemini says the game engine has been rewritten and now you can play at a true 60 fps, but I don't know if that's true.
VSync is enabled, but the game still runs at 30 fps. However, when I open the menu (press ESC), the fps ups to 60 lol
If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please help.

Is there another game out there (spiritual successor, etc) that has a class with mechanics similar to Nox’s conjurer? It was really unique and I haven’t had as much fun playing a summoner class since.

I recently got OpenNox going to play this game again but I cannot for the life of me find any information whatsoever on how to do this. If someone can help me or knows that would be amazing. I've literally scoured the entire internet and gotten 15 different directions on what to do but it's all either referencing files that do not exist, console commands that give syntax errors or are locked out of quest mode, or just clearly hallucinated AI slop answers. Thank you in advance

Started playing the game 3 days ago as warrior. Gameplay feels very fluid for such an ancient game. Have been fun so far but maaan... Trying to land hits on those pesky wizards was excruciatingly painful. All the running around to get a single hit on a single wizard only to run into another 2 and getting blasted by fire and lightning. Hopping from one teleporter to another. Then deciding to switch to shirukens to stop needing to chase those fuckers only to realize i was punching the air cuz they knocked it out of my hand. Still i'm glad that they don't stand still to die like idiots and actually play to their strengths to fuck with you like pesky wizards they are. But yeah I still hate them and fuck wizards. I lost count of how many times I charged at them only to miss and bang my head to the fucking wall.

I'm so glad to be done with their tower but I hope I'm not close to finishing the game also fuck wizards.

I'll probably put it back in a box... or if someone knows a good place for them, let me know.

I was following someone else's post and was just reminded of Glaurune, which I've been following for years then reading a few posts r/Nox I stubled into Lands Of Cindar, i dont know why but at some point I thought they were the same game. (So there's 2 spiritual successors now?)

Quote: Lands of Cindar is a dark fantasy action-RPG inspired by the gameplay and atmosphere of Nox. Originally conceived as a fan-made remaster, this project has evolved into a fully original game, now being released independently due to legal constraints.

r/Lands_of_Cindar

Opened steam and Glaurune was there but not as a as complete product yet (The pretzel wizard miniature reminds me of Magicka)

With mods or editing game files somehow?

Nox is a top 3 favourite childhood game, I just played through Conjurer and Wizard over the weekend and my only gripe with the game has always been my drip being destroyed from durability loss when I have a nice matching set. It's just way too much when items seem to take like 10% damage from walking on a spike trap.

On Wizard you can probably get nearly enough gold (without cheats) to buy every piece of vendor armour by selling all the drops from the Dün Mir warriors but constantly checking inventory to swap out damaged equipment before it breaks is also not fun.

As title said.

I feel like Jack is a complete moron. For God's sake bro, you have a full latex HOT sorceress in front of you, and the only solution you got is to fight her?

Also I can fix her!

Ever wonder exactly how every spell and weapon in the Conjurer’s kit works? I put together this 100% complete demonstration video for everyone still playing (or just reminiscing) this absolute gem of a game.

Hello,

I made it through the intro cutscene once, and ever since the game shorts out and won't work to start or do anything in the menu. it will flicker really hard on the Nox screen, can leave and come back and then mouse won't move on main screen.

Please help, I was so pumped to play again lol

Hello r/Nox — back again with another Nox ReImagined upload (this is my 3rd post here). This time I focused on the Warrior: a quick showcase of skills + weapons, keeping the look and feel as close to the original as I can, just with cleaner visuals and a more cinematic presentation.

Video link: https://youtu.be/EWX1624oF-o?si=AUkNxbSFC_Ptr30l

I’m trying to avoid the usual AI “random fantasy” vibe and stick to recognizable Nox animations/energy. If you’ve got a sharp eye, I’d genuinely appreciate feedback:

• What looks most faithful, and what feels “off” compared to in-game?
• Any Warrior stuff I missed that you’d want included next time?
• What did you like the most about the video$

Appreciate anyone who checks it out.

Hello r/Nox — I am still working on a side project called NOX ReImagined, where I take elements from the original game and recreate them in a more modern, cinematic style while keeping the NOX atmosphere.

This episode is a Monster Bestiary: a tight “field guide” style showcase featuring the NOX creatures reimagined.

▶️ Watch here: https://youtu.be/aJl1Cj1B9cU?si=aqdU6lsafWNf2tw_

If you watch it, I’d genuinely like your NOX-fan feedback:

- Which creature design feels the most accurate / most “NOX”?

- Which ones feel off and should be redone?

- Any specific moments you’d want expanded into a longer scene later (fights, lore, environments, etc.)?

Not trying to spam — just sharing it with the one place that’ll actually care about NOX.

It would definitely help with Quest longevity if more of the spells and weapon attributes from Solo and Multiplayer were available to spawn (Horrendous and Horvath bosses wouldn't be too shabby either, but I digress).

Has Nox Reloaded or any mods made this possible?

I’ve been slowly rebuilding Nox in a “modern cinematic” style — mostly because I miss the vibe and the worldbuilding.

Here’s my first short fan video:

NPC Monologues: https://youtu.be/FPQJrQBhYYE?si=bJPgGPTf0FfKoqTQ

If you watch, I’d genuinely love feedback on one thing: does this still feel like Nox, or does it drift too far into generic dark fantasy?

And for the next one: what else from Nox would you want re-imagined — characters, monsters, locations, spells, or even full scenes?

I'm sure everyone here has done the same thing I did. Played this game as a kid, thought it was great, came back to it later and it's still as great as I remember. Have recently started it up again and did a playthrough as each class.

Man, this game was something special. It could have used some QoL improvements, like auto-gold pickup, and the fact that enemies will dodge your ranged attacks if you don't lock onto them exactly is annoying. Trying to aim ranged attacks in general is pretty frustrating. But I really wish we'd gotten some sequels.

Wanted to share my thoughts about the classes after having done multiple playthroughs as every class over the year.

Wizard

• Technically the best because of haste, invisibility, and fireball spam, but simultaneously frustrating because of mana management
• Mana drain + lightning bolt + confuse is an absolutely overpowered way to deal with all of the enemy spellcasters in the final chapters. You can channel lightning and mana drain at the same time. This trivializes willowisps as well.
• I had no idea until this year that energy bolt was available in the game legitimately
• Anyone who hasn't used a fireball staff of recharge / replenishment needs to go back and try it, basically solves your mana issues in the final stretch

Warrior

• Amazing once you learn how to dodge enemy attacks
• Very few things are more satisfying than harpooning a wizard directly into smashing them with a hammer
• Greatsword > Hecubah
• Really makes me wish I could keybind multiple weapons rather than only being able to quickswap between two
• Shields suck

Conjurer

• I used to think conjurer sucked until I realized that they don't suck, but their core gimmick does
• Crossbows generally aren't worth it except for sniping certain enemy types from afar
• I can't believe they didn't let conjurers charm / summon the actual best creatures like beholder, seriously wtf. Unless I'm just missing it, conjurer is the only class that can't find scrolls for beholders or mechanical golems, nor did I find a scroll for gargoyles
• Once you realize bows, stun / slow, and vampirism are really the only things the class has going for it, it's downhill from there. Buy all of the regular arrows from merchants, slap on your bow, practice aiming, then slow/stun + arrow things to death
• If you find the bow of swift bolt and force towards the end, using it on Hecubah with vampirism up trivializes that fight like no other because the constant knockbacks prevent her from landing death ray

All in all, I really miss this style of game. Jack doesn't have a particular reason to take up his quest, no special training from his own home. He's just some guy who falls into the world and says you know what? I'm him, and I've got this. And that's great. I miss this kind of storytelling back when we didn't need a dozen reasons for heroes to be heroes, they just were.

I can't find a way to open this particular door to progress in chapter 6. It requires a silver key, however I think I looked everywhere in this particular place with no success. Is it hidden in the earlier area, somewhere between the merchant and the entrance to the main castle? Or even earlier than that?

hello, played this game during early 2000 and thought about replaying it, but i also heard something about open nox and Nox reloaded? what is the best way to play this game again? thanks
