Currently, the upcoming MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria consists of individual modules, which will soon be combined into a complete game.
Everything is coming together
The “critical” release is coming. The team behind Chronicles of Elyria is currently working hard on version 0.4.0. This version is referred to as a “critical” release because it will integrate all previous prototype modules into the code, forming a “grand whole”. The MMORPG will no longer consist of isolated and separate components. Everything the developers have worked on so far will merge into a game.
The gameplay of Alpha 1 is coming together. Once these modules are combined, the gameplay for the Alpha 1 will be available. However, this will only include the core functions, and they are currently in a very early stage. When version 0.4.0 is completed, Chronicles of Elyria will officially enter its first alpha phase and will roughly demonstrate how the MMORPG will play later on.
A game is growing together. The team explains which systems they are currently working on, which will then be assembled for Alpha 1:
- Revision of the skill system
- Improvement of the crafting professions
- Optimization of the combat system
- Creation of the world and biomes
- A six-week event in summer, during which the backstory for the launch of the game will be created
Alpha 1 already offers quite a bit of gameplay
What does Alpha 1 offer? The alpha will give you a small insight into the MMORPG. The developers hope to have many of the systems in a state where you can test them by then. This includes:
- Creation of your hero
- Exploring the world and encountering creatures
- Accessing your inventory
- Opening the character sheet
- Crafting
- Interacting with the world
- Access to certain skills
- Your character can fight and even die
Release still unclear. The developers have not yet set a release date for version 0.4.0 and thus for Alpha 1 of Chronicles of Elyria. This is also because this version is so important. It will convey the first impression of the MMORPG. And this should of course be positive.
