The promising and very dark MMORPG Revival has been in development for a year now. But there is still much to be done.
A year ago, the team at Illfonic had the vision of an MMORPG that would simulate a vibrant and very dark world where players could forge their paths and leave their marks. This year has seen a lot of progress. However, there is still much work ahead for the team before Revival becomes a fully realized game. Currently, they are working to finalize a playable version of the housing system to provide it to all supporters. This way, they will have something to test, and the developers can collect feedback to improve housing.
Merchants play an important role
In addition, many other systems are being worked on. Recently, the class of the Caravaneers was introduced. This is a type of merchant who invests a lot of money in the shipping of goods to make a significant profit. It will even be possible to brew your own wine, bottle it yourself, and deliver it. As a Caravaneer, many factors must be considered. How big does the cart need to be for delivery? Should one hire a guard? After all, bandits could be lurking along the way. With every delivery, there is always a risk. Are you spending too much or too little money? The Caravaneer shows that in the world of Revival, it’s not only about sword skills but also about supporting the economy.
No level scaling for enemies
However, there will still be frequent battles. Since players do not have levels, enemies will not be able to scale to levels. Therefore, it is quite possible to encounter a monster in a ruin that simply sweeps the floor with you. In another area, however, there could be creatures that pose no real threat to a well-equipped hero.
Illfonic is currently still working on some systems that will be implemented in the space MMO Star Citizen. For this, they entered into a cooperation with Cloud Imperium Games. These works are nearing completion and then they want to focus entirely on Revival.
