New Kickstarter MMO: Shroud of the Avatar by Richard Garriott
The Legendary creator of the Ultima Series, Richard Garriott is returning to his RPG roots and seeks funding for his new MMORPG project through kickstarter. The game needs $1 million in order to get kickstarted and by the time we write these lines more than 70% has been covered with 27 days left.
The game is “the antithesis of what people have been doing with MMOs these last few years,” Garriott explained. “They not only build every stitch of technology from scratch, they build a giant world, and they build them all in the exact same horrifically difficult but no longer impressive model. At one time it was brilliant, but now they’re all the same.”
Shroud of the Avatar will feature a fully interactive virtual world meaning that if something looks usable, it should do something. Deep original fiction – Ethical parables, cultural histories, fully developed alternate language text and something more pioneering like being a Multiplayer Online Game which can also be played a solo player / offline.
Like the majority of Garriott’s games, Shroud of the Avatar will feature a classless character system and a fully fledged housing system that will support player towns.
Players that will pledge more than $25 are guaranteed to get access to the game’s alpha and beta testing phases starting December 2013.
