Evolution
Xsyon is a constantly evolving game, currently in the Prelude phase. During the early stages, Xsyon pioneers began as hunters, gatherers and scavengers, laying the foundations for the future. In the current stage, Xsyon citizens are shaping the land, building towns and forming societies.
As an ever-changing world, the features of Xsyon are constantly being added, revised, removed, combined and balanced based on player reactions and feedback. Xsyon is not intended as a final and complete product, but as a living and changing world that evolves over time.
Future planned features include:
Improved progressive and multi step crafting.Improved quest system.Comfort based on weather conditions and clothing, affecting most actions.Ranged combat.Cooking with player created recipes.Animal taming, pets and mounts.Agriculture.Dance system.ReligionNew content: armor, weapons, items, containers and creatures.

The Unknown
The full features and plans of the Xsyon online game world will never be fully disclosed. Part of the fun in playing is discovering the unknown. New features, skills, objects and creatures will typically be discovered in game before they are officially announced. A few hints to spark the minds of new Xsyon players:
When and where you craft might be just as important as what you craft.Specialization leads to inspirationOne man’s trash is another man’s treasure.Two minds are better than one.The world is changing, keep exploring.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Xsyon is on sale at a big discount of 75% off through January 4th! We also have a few events coming up thanks to our Guide Team. Come join in the fun!
Important Note:
Unfortunately I am posting this announcement late as the Xsyon servers are currently unavailable. There is a major problem at the server host data center that is being dealt with and may take another 24 to 36 hours from the time of this post to resolve. Once the servers are back up I will work quickly to set up any players that attempted to create new accounts during this down time.
I apologize for any inconvenience and thank players for your patience!
Xsyon Autumn Update!
Hello Xsyon Citizens!

I’ve been making steady progress with the DirectX graphics update. As I’ve mentioned before this is a massive update to the game engine. The code for most rendering functions had to be completely rewritten. This is a necessary step though so it will continue to be my focus until it’s done. We’re getting there!
Since my last major report I’ve completed the following:
- Improved lighting functions (torches, though not yet implemented will be finally possible!)
- Fires.
- New cloud system.
- Reflections on water.
- Sun and moon rendering implemented.
Architecture Snap Update!
Hello Xsyon Citizens!
XsyonMaster 06-27-2023 09:24 AM
I’ve patched the latest build with minor changes not including the upcoming graphics update. This build features the architecture snap feature that makes aligning similar construction parts to each other much easier.
In addition this patch is a preparation for the upcoming graphics update and War System. A lot of the code has been cleaned up with many functions prepared to be compatible with the DirectX 11 changes. These changes should not have any noticeable effects on the game.
If you do notice any issues with this patch, please report them on the Xsyon forums in the Developer Zone.
Enjoy!
January Update
Hello Xsyon Citizens!
XsyonMaster 01-18-2024 04:52 PMAs many of you know, there were big problems at the data center that hosts Xsyon's game servers over the past few weeks. I've been moving things around and also upgrading the database code.
For now, there is a new Xsyon Launcher for players that play directly and off of Steam. You can find this launcher linked to in the old Launcher window or through your account page on the Xsyon website.
I am testing out locations for a future and more final move but at the moment everything is up and running and I hope it stays that way!
I am returning my focus to the game. I think it will still be a few months before I can release the DirectX graphics update. This mess at the data center was a big distraction but I continue to move forward with the code.
