Originally created for The Poppenkast’s friendly four hour competition over nine months ago, Jan Willem Nijman’s 4 Hour RPG has been worked on along since and has officially entered open beta.

In the game, all characters start out with a sword as their primary weapon, with access to an ability unique to their class. Though the game started as a simple competition entry, it has progressed into a much fuller RPG outing.

The latest build for the open beta is available now for anyone who signs up at the official forums.
