Natuk is
a game of Orcish endevour. In Natuk, you play a band of eight Orcs
(or Ogres or Half-Trolls) on a quest to slay the current Orc chieftain,
Molvosh. Your thirst for revenge stems from Molvosh's punishment
of you for supporting the last attempt on his life. He took all your
possessions, killed your mates and children (whelps), and sent you to an
outpost in the middle of nowhere.
Starting
off weak, you must make yourself strong. Defeating enemies brings
valuable experience which you must use to learn new skills. Experiment
with magic, brew your own potions, write your own scrolls. Repair
broken or damaged items. Haggle for goods (or simply steal them if
you don't like the price : ) ). Weasel your way out of
trouble, or perhaps bribe an enemy. Inspire your friends with a hearty
chant. All in an attempt to aquire the necessary power to challenge
Molvosh and complete your revenge.
This
is, of course, my Natuk web-page. Natuk is currently available at
Tom Proudfoot's homepage. There
you will find info on how to sample Natuk via the demo, or purchase the
full version. The demo allows you to explore 2 towns, and 12 dungeons,
about 1/3 of the entire game.
On
this page, you will find info on spells, enemies, combat tactics, character
creation, items, and everything else that I can think of. If I've
missed anything you think I should know about, email me at zippy_d_cortex@fcmail.com.

!!!!!UPDATE!!!!!
(March 31st)
It's
appropriate that this update is coming so close to the first of April,
'cause I've been quite the fool : ). I thought that I could
do this site all by myself, but it's pretty blatantly obvious that I cannot.
So I am officially begging for help now : ). If anyone wants
to lend a hand, just take a walk over to the Help
page and see what you can do. Natuk deserves more than this one man
can give right now. Why? Because I have a new job, new girlfriend,
and a host of other things on my plate that must come first.
I will
still do a little bit myself here and there, but from now on, the site
will depend on dedicated fans to help out.
(March
11th)
A small
update, 8 new Witchdoctor spells (including the most powerful spell yet
- Deathball), 5 new Shaman prayers (again with the most powerful yet -
the Comet Strike prayer), 4 new Item properties, __ new miscellaneous items
and gemstones
(March
7th)
Okay,
I know it's been over 2 weeks, but a new job and various other things have
taken away from my time at Natuk. I've been playing, but not as much
as I would like to. I've added 29 new spells, 9 new syllables, 10
Item Properties, and 6 Item Materials. More stuff will be forthcoming
in a few days. Also take a look at the new button on the bottom of
the page - it's worth it : ).

I just
recieved my full copy today. I've already discovered a whole butt-load
of new things, but it will take a while to catalouge them all. With
that in mind I'm going to leave the page the way it is for now and finish
the game. Then after that I will start to update the site.
It will take me a while since I have a real job now : ). Here's
my .plan file (wow, I feel like John Carmack : ) ):
I will
finish off the items, materials, and properties first. After that
I will update the page on a town by town and location by location basis.
I'll be going through them each with a fine toothed comb so I should pick
everything up. Lastly, I will detail any quests that you can accomplish.
I will do this last because from what I understand, all of these quests
are non-essential to the main plot. All the while I will be updating
the spell pages (syllables, spells, and prayers).
If
I miss anything, please let me know. Please don't however, email
me with info on spells unless I ask for it here - I don't want spoilers
: ). Feel free to give me info on things that I have missed in regards
to locations, however.
