We have the core gameplay implemented and the production pipelines were almost ready to start to accrete content into the world. We could form parties to quest together or fight each other. ![]() An immersive world that was starting to feel like a living world (with the exception of actual players beside the developers roaming around).A large variety of equipment to choose from and customize your playstyle.Five playable hero classes: Fighter, Ranger, Healer, Assassin, Mage.A large world to explore and complete quests. ![]() ![]() In 9 months of development we reached the point where the game was very playable and enjoyable: We started development of an open-world multiplayer RPG prototype at the beginning of 2022, code-named Arcana. ![]()
