A new MMORPG has reached its first goal on Kickstarter. The studio promises the ultimate medieval experience.
Which game is it about? The MMORPG Lionhearts by Credenzio Studios has reached its minimum goal of 100,000 dollars on Kickstarter (Kickstarter.com). In the time of the Third Crusade in the 12th century, you can choose between the military, merchants, or religion and build your own life in the medieval era. The Steam page for the MMORPG is also already online (store.steampowered.com).
What does Lionhearts promise players? Lionhearts aims to be a historically accurate representation of the time and allows the world to be shaped by you as a player. With over 60 career paths, you can decide whether to become a farmer, knight, blacksmith, or even king of the realm. The developers themselves say that Lionhearts should be the ultimate medieval experience.
Lionhearts is a constantly evolving world where every action means something. Just like the former King of England, Richard the Lionheart, you can take part in the conquest of the Holy Land of Jerusalem, which was the reason for the Third Crusade (klexikon.zum.de).
In the video, you can see the Kickstarter trailer of Lionhearts and insights behind the scenes from Credenzio Studios:
You can even grind in your sleep
How does grinding in your sleep work? One of the most interesting features of Lionhearts is the so-called Shadow Tasking System. If you should go offline, you can assign tasks to your character. These range from simple gathering or crafting to managing your land.
The small but ambitious team from Credenzio regularly provides developer updates on their Lionhearts website, so fans always know what is currently being worked on.
Where is the studio known from? Credenzio Studios has gained some notoriety through another game. For Roblox, they developed the game Lionhearts: Crusade, a medieval MMO that – similar to their new project – focuses on historical credibility and has been played over 6 million times (roblox.fandom.com).
A project like this MMORPG from a small team like Credenzio Studios initially sounds like a dream, but the developers show in their video on Kickstarter and YouTube that they are genuinely passionate about it. However, they now need to prove that they can develop a game for the ambitious MMORPG genre with the money raised.
Since the Kickstarter boom in the 2010s, there have been numerous developers who wanted to finance their MMO through crowdfunding. Many have failed despite successful campaigns.
