The Secret of Varonis

An upcoming Gameboy-style RPG! The Secret of Varonis features old-school combat mechanics and visuals faithful to the gaming heyday of 1989. If you're nostalgic for retro games, or just looking for a good, challenging RPG, this game is probably a good fit.

Choose a party of humans, espers, robots, and monsters, each with a unique leveling scheme
Employ over 500 combat items and abilities, either learned, looted, bought, or crafted
Explore five unique worlds, each with their own story and characters, plus the sealed city of Varonis which unites them all...
Enjoy the best of oldschool mechanics without the pain points: no required grinding, optional field encounter mode, and other newschool ideas

We'll be updating the devlog until our expected release in early 2023.

Build your party

Customize your party to take on the secret city and the many trials beyond!

Humans - Sturdy generalists who buy potions to advance in stats. They carry swords, saws, shotguns, spellbooks... Versatility is key!
Espers - Natural-born fighters that learn from combat, granting stats, abilities, and powerful multitarget magic.
Robots - Customizable companions that can be built in many different ways. A tankbot made of armor? A ninjabot made of swords?
Monsters - Scrappy shapeshifters whose role in combat can change in a flash. Most monster abilities can be found nowhere else.

The Ultimate Guide to Finding and Using a Mambwe Dictionary PDF

Introduction: The Quest for Mambwe Language Resources

In the lush, borderland regions of southwestern Tanzania and northeastern Zambia, the Mambwe language (locally known as Kimambwe or Cimambwe) thrives. Spoken by over 500,000 people, it is a vital part of the Bantu linguistic family. Yet, for linguists, missionaries, anthropologists, and descendants of the Mambwe people living abroad, finding reliable, portable, and searchable resources has always been a challenge.

Offline Accessibility: Unlike web-based dictionaries, a PDF lives on your hard drive, phone, or tablet. You can use it in rural villages where internet connectivity is zero.
Searchability: Modern PDFs include OCR (Optical Character Recognition) text. This means you can press Ctrl+F and instantly find a Mambwe word or its English equivalent—something impossible with a physical 1980s mimeograph.
Print-on-Demand: You can print a single copy for a classroom or a language workshop without re-printing a full book run.
Longevity: Paper rots; digital files, if backed up, last forever.
