[February 2026]
Eyes to the horizon...
Greetings all, and welcome to the February (2026) update for Roguelike Games!
As mentioned in our January blog, these monthly updates will now primarily focus on progress, highlighting the project's advancement towards completion each month. The goal is to establish an easily trackable roadmap that clearly shows what we are currently working on and where our efforts will be concentrated in the upcoming month.
These progress indicators will be split into The Uncanny Edition Core Rulebook, The Enclave Edition Core Rulebook and The Imperial Encyclopaedia Estania progress.
Furthermore, they will be split into the following categories:
Writing
Proof-reading & Editing
Layout
To make this information easy to understand and update in the future, we've outlined everything for all three books in this February update and will only share the progress each subsequent month. Additionally, we'll add a section to the website to display the total overall progress.
With all that said, here is how the project looks as of the end of February 2026:

Roguelike Community
The Moralinth Official Facebook Group is the place to visit for quick and concise updates for those who only want the summarised details of what is happening with Moralinth and is a great place to see the artwork, lore snippets, and updates. We're looking to add more to it so that we can add extra information, but we need your help! What sort of things would you like to see included in the Facebook Group that isn't there already? Feel free to leave comments so we can know what is a priority for everyone, and make sure you tell your friends!
DISCORD:
For a more in-depth and interactive playground for all things Moralinth, you can head over to the Morlainth Official Discord Server. We're looking to foster the community and grow it out, and a few of the messages we've received of late have asked for more ways to interact with the game world, as well as an increase in setting information. We're looking to try and grant both requests simultaneously, so keep an eye on Discord for more information! Feel free to invite anyone who you feel might want to follow the project but please remember they need to verify their account when they first join the server (you need to click the little "tick" to be granted the Uncanny role and gain access to all the Categories, Channels and Events).
Future Plans
March's update (and the subsequent updates that will follow) will adhere to the established format of this blog until we reach a point of being feature complete. This means that each update will be structured in a consistent manner, allowing our readers to easily navigate through the information and stay informed about the latest developments. We understand the importance of clear communication and transparency in our progress, and we aim to provide you with detailed insights into the advancements we are making. Each blog post will delve into different aspects of the project, including new features, improvements, and any challenges we encounter along the way. In addition to the regular updates, we encourage you to keep visiting this site frequently. By doing so, you will ensure that you are always up-to-date with the latest news regarding Moralinth. Our commitment to keeping our community informed is paramount, and we appreciate your continued support and interest in our project. Stay tuned for exciting announcements, sneak peeks of upcoming features, and in-depth discussions about the development process. We are dedicated to creating a comprehensive experience for our users, and your engagement is a vital part of that journey. Thank you for being a part of the Moralinth community, and we look forward to sharing our progress with you in the months to come!
....and that wraps up our update for this month! Feel free to drop us a message or come visit us on our Facebook page or our Discord Group if you'd like! Until our next update,
Happy Gaming!
