Indie developer Stormcloud Creations sent us a note on their latest project, which uses an interesting community funding concept:'The Arcadia Project' is live! This project
is basically the very first community supported, community development-assisted and funded PC game project ever done, on a level never before attempted. We'll be starting from the GROUND UP. You can help me name the game, suggest added and tweaked features, submit stories and ideas, and vote in polls for new features, all on our special members only forum.
We'll even have a special page for pre-order members ONLY that will allow you to download micro-builds of the game, as its being created!
The game itself: You can recruit adventurers, view detailed stats on their abilities, age, birthday, height, weight, everything. Build a camp of 6 adventurers, and put together parties of 4 and send them on dangerous quests to many realms, in search of riches. They can get hurt, killed, possessed, or a host of other things, and you may be offered choices in the story according to what happens on their quest. You must sign them to contracts (called 'pacts') to keep them working for you, all the while keeping yourself in the black financially. The game is intended to be a "Championship Manager" combined with a RPG sensibility, complete with adventurer 'personalites' that emerge over time. Sharp, crisp and unique graphics/interface and music are planned to be included as well.
We plan on selling the game for $19.95 when its released. We're offering a limited time chance to get in this special community development opportunity for only $16.95, $3.00 off the normal price! Once you order, you'll receive a link where the forum is located, and you can register there if you wish, and be approved to participate. This also entitles you to a full version of the game once its finished. Hit the official site for details. |
