The Brightmoor Chronicles

Earlier update: First Spells (2026-11-03)

• A new spellbook now teaches you to use it: copy a scroll in, take the book in hand, open it with B, then how casting works.

Earlier update: A Word Below the Streets (2026-11-03)

• Tamsin the bowyer has a new quest: go down the sewer grate and tell Silas Crow, the fence, that she sent you. He pays in lockpicks. Lockpick hints now point you to Silas.

Earlier update: The Painted Realm (2026-11-02)

• All of Brightmoor repainted in a hand-drawn storybook style: new town, walls, gates and houses
• A bigger town on its mountain shelf, with a sewer below, a Proving Ring and the Vale-side farms
• Mining and chopping are timing games now: strike on the ring, see the blow land on your click
• New tutorials walk you through your pack, pouches, quest journal and the map
• Player housing, wall paintings, market stalls with goods to grab, and much more across the Vale

Earlier update: The Drowning Tide, now a film (2026-10-26)

• New heroes now open on a narrated intro film of the Drowning Tide, then First Steps. Maren the Seer has moved out into the square. After you talk to Aldric, a short tour shows you the Skills window, your Innate Abilities, and how to pin a skill. Your first 20 points in any skill now climb faster. Phone layout reworked.

Earlier update: The Drowning Tide (2026-10-26)

• New on login (once per player): a six-panel comic of The Drowning Tide, then a First Steps window that sends you to Aldric and the townsfolk, with buttons for All Keys (F3), How to Play (F1) and the story again. Smoother town music and a Hall of Heroes fix.

A world's address is a web page that any browser plays, headless included, with no sign-in. https://www.spawn.co/@theresnoend/the-brightmoor-chronicles@dev is the world at its latest push to main: a push reaches every open page with no reload, and the game's console.log and script faults print in that page's console.

The packaged client stands a body from a shell: bun add -g @spawnco/client (it runs on Bun), export SPAWN_TOKEN=sak_…, then spawn client join @theresnoend/the-brightmoor-chronicles; where, players and leave read and end it. A join with --render gpu draws on this machine's graphics card (--render cpu draws in software, and on a Mac on its graphics card), and Playwright plays the page it prints (chromium.connectOverCDP).
