Corven - New Kickstarter

by Myrthos, 2020-06-22 16:01:07

A new kickstarter for the spiritual Ultima successor, Corven has started today, after the previous one was canceled. They are now asking for 25,000 dollar less, which results in a goal of $20,000 and they are already halfway there.

Corven is a story-driven, open world, single player RPG inspired by our  favorite old-school RPGs, especially Richard Garriott's  Ultima series.

We miss Ultima and its design philosophy and so we set out to create something very similar.

Corven will let you explore an interactive open world full of secrets and surprises. Maybe even more important than that, Corven will deliver an engaging story with many interesting NPCs.

Our goal is to make you want to know "what happens next?" in the main quest.  Or in side quests for example"why is the, married, mayor of  this town sneaking over to this other woman's house almost every night?"  :)

This is a shift from many modern RPG's in which character progression  and combat are very clearly the main focus. Don't get us wrong, we love  those games too, but we want to focus on what made games like Ultima V,  VI and VII so great.

We are also very proud to announce that none other than Richard "Lord  British" Garriott, creator of the Ultima series, likes Corven and even  helped with parts of the storyline. His alter ego, Lord British, will  appear in the game and make Corven feel even more like its great  inspiration, Ultima.

Don't worry, Corven will also feature a fun real-time combat system  which is entertaining, but won't take up most of your play time. You  will learn many exciting spells and some of them will even interact.  Like a fireball which does 100% critical damage on targets afflicted by  your freeze spell. You get the idea.
