Chronicles of Elyria promises to be a very interesting MMORPG. Some of the developers’ ideas are quite extraordinary.
The successful Kickstarter campaign ensured that the number of employees at the developer studio Soulbound could be quadrupled. This means that Chronicles of Elyria is currently in the development phase. However, this process is somewhat different from what one might expect from other developer studios. The task distribution occurs similarly to a role-playing game. Teams are sent on “quests” with a specific goal, meaning, for example, a particular game system is to be developed.
The internal quest system is meant to provide motivation.
Teams with tasks in RPG style
In this way, teams are currently taking care of several areas. One developed a horse to prepare it for the mount system. Another group dealt with jumping in the game. Because in Chronicles of Elyria, the race you belong to, as well as your stature, determine how high you jump.
A hero who has a few extra pounds will not jump as high as a fit warrior. Accordingly, the animations also need to be adjusted.
Progress is being made
In addition, a team has been assigned for better organization of assets, another created artworks and background stories of the twelve tribes in the game world, one group is working to get the game running under SpatialOS, which is needed for the server structure, and another group is working to optimize the website.
Additionally, a new video has been released showcasing the city of New Haven.
Chronicles of Elyria is an ambitious MMORPG that will likely be playable in some form next year.
