Been resisting posting at all until I finished v0 of my game. This is an Ultima 1 inspired... I don't know, mechanics study? Tried to boil down everything its simplest form with no emphasis on content or theme. Basic gameplay loop is walking around bumping into guys to kill them for money. Most tactical complexity comes from waiting a turn without moving with Z to manage your position. You can get a stronger weapon, a ranged one, some magic. Ultimate goal is flying a blimp to the castle in the middle and killing the final boss.

If there's anything worth continuing here, I'll add content & art to flesh this out into a full game but I'm happy to let it just stay like this if not.
