****** LAUNCHING LATE 2024/EARLY 2025 ******
It's taken me 15 years and 4 scrapped versions to get here, but I am finally at the finish line. 15 years may have passed, progress on Paravia has always occured in small bursts. I always find a way to become side-tracked and let other projects and work consume my time.
I look forward to opening registration soon.

As years pass, some of the greatest games ever made are lost, forgotten, or become incompatible with today’s technologies. Santa Paravia en Fiumaccio was one of the very first worldbuilding games and debuted on the TRS-80. There are a few sites online where you can play the original or adaptations, but I wanted to recreate the original game and make it more accessible at the same time. I have two goals, re-create the original while fixing some of the original exploits and create a new game based on Paravia. Give Paravia a try and witness the beginning age of computer gaming.

::Two versions of the game currently exist, 'Paravia Classic' - This version is the original game, there are minimal changes such as the ability to disable death, a different interface, but it essentially remains the same.
Paravia Chapters - This is a re-imagining of Santa Paravia. This version includes additional elements such as interactions between rulers and community driven story based content. As time allows, this version will be updated to include additional features.
Good luck, I hope you enjoy.

Some changes have been made from the original game. I have tried to make the experience the same wherever possible but I have improved upon/changed some items. In the original game there was death, much like many early computer games death was random and frustrating. This among other things I have modified. Please read the list below to view all changes from the original game.
Death can be disabled - almost completely random in the original game
Attacking other players has been slightly modified, in the original game, you would often be attacked by the same ruler. I have added a random factor to this that still follows the same rules.
Music can be enabled - the original game did not have sound
Internet Multiplayer/Email to play - original only had hotseat
