Rubymine

A multiplayer fantasy sandbox RPG inspired by the original vision of Minecraft, Dwarf Fortress, Terraria, and classic arcade games.

What is Rubymine?

Rubymine is a fantasy sandbox adventure game focused on exploration, combat, dungeon delving, and player interaction.

Instead of making resource gathering and crafting the entire experience, Rubymine puts the spotlight on dangerous expeditions, rare loot, character progression, faction encounters, and player-driven stories.

Set on a mysterious island known as Rubyland, players must survive hostile creatures, explore ancient dungeons, discover forgotten artifacts, and decide whether to cooperate with others or take what they need by force.

Key Features

Combat-First Gameplay

Choose from a huge variety of weapons and fighting styles:

• Longswords, medium swords, and shortswords
• Spears, battleaxes, sickles, and maces
• Bows, crossbows, flintlocks, and muskets

• Legendary unique weapons with powerful special abilities

Every weapon category offers different strengths, weaknesses, and combat mechanics.

Dangerous Dungeons

The underground is filled with:

• Hidden treasure
• Rare equipment
• Powerful enemies
• Unique artifacts
• Secrets that cannot be crafted

Many of Rubymine's strongest items can only be discovered through exploration.

Dungeons can also become valuable player bases, but doing so makes them attractive targets for rival players.

RPG Progression

• Exploring the world
• Collecting treasure
• Defeating monsters
• Finding new foods and resources

Each level grants stat points and skill points that can be invested into:

• Strength: Increase melee and magic damage
• Keenness: Discover more crafting recipes
• Indifference: Increase natural defense
• Luck: Influence monster encounters
• Love: Improve NPC interactions and trade deals

Build your character however you want.

Survival Systems

Manage four core resources:

Health

Your life force. Lose it and you'll die.

Energy

Consumed by combat, sprinting, and other activities. Recovered through food and water.

Mana

Used to cast magical abilities and wield magical weapons.

Defense

Provided by armor, shields, potions, and equipment.

Balancing these resources is essential for survival.

NPCs & Factions

Meet a variety of strange inhabitants:

• Catmen
• Dogmen
• Dwarflins
• The Ghaster
• The Penguin Merchant
• Wandering traders and adventurers

Trade for rare items, learn about the world, and uncover hidden lore.

Multiplayer Survival

Rubymine is designed primarily as a multiplayer experience.

The world is intentionally limited in size, creating meaningful competition for resources and territory.

You may encounter another player carrying exactly what you need.

Whether you trade, cooperate, betray, or fight is entirely up to you.

Every interaction can become a story.

High-Stakes Death System

Death has consequences.

When a player dies:

"(Player Name) has been cast to the winds."

Other players may revive them using powerful necromancy.

If nobody intervenes, the player respawns, but their corpse rises as a zombie.

Players begin with a limited number of lives and must seek rare Gems of Life to extend their existence.
