    Millennium 5, Developer Diary #3

    By

    For this third entry in Aldorlea's Developer Diary series, I am going to talk about something that is very dear to me, and in my opinion is an important aspect of the role playing games we all love. Interactivity - in other words, making a world come alive.

    Polycraft Developer Diary #1: Arms Wide Open Game Development!

    By

    Hi there readers of Gamezebo! I'm Ben Furneaux, one of the developers at Wonderstruck working on our first project: Polycraft. We're working with Gamezebo to bring you a series of developer diaries following the development of Polycraft. There's going to be lots of behind-the-curtain insight into how we're making Polycraft, exclusive information about upcoming releases, photos of people looking pensively at a whiteboards, blood, sweat, tears and polygons. Lots of polygons.

    What's more interesting and involving in the creation of a story than coming up with colorful, interesting, and unique characters? This is one of the tasks I have as the writer of the Aldorlea games. Characters are crucial in a story - and an RPG. Good RPGs have a good story. A good story requires great characters, characters that people can feel something for and sometimes relate to. It can be bad ("Oh, I hate this stupid selfish character!") or it can be good ("this heroine is wonderful and so full of heart, she lifts me up all the time!") but it has to do something.

    Millennium 5, Developer Diary #1

    Millennium 5 is the last episode of the Millennium saga (see the other episodes at Aldorlea Games!). It all started in September 2009, with a young girl called Marine. She wanted to change the course of fate. This is a universal theme, our actions versus fate, this is why this series holds a special place in my heart. And now I'm about to close the book of her story, and it's quite a daunting task to say the least, because the game will be the biggest in the series. It has to be. People like a spectacular ending, and your goal as a developer is to deliver the goods.

    So far, players have gotten a glimpse at Kingdoms of Camelot: Ascension and its three factions in developer diaries #1 and #2.  This week, though, we wanted to dig into the specific benefits that players will be getting when they ascend a city.  As a player begins to rebuild their Ascended City, they will be given access to a series of faction themed blessings and new buildings, the City Center and Grove, to help them manage their city better than they previously could.

    Druid, Fey and Briton: these are the factions in Kingdoms of Camelot.  Up until now, players have known very little about these factions. As mentioned in last week's developer diary, Kingdoms of Camelot: Ascension will heavily focus on each of the three factions. Aligning an Ascended City with a faction will shape how that city grows and what benefits the player will receive.  This choice is on a per city basis, allowing players to eventually have cities of each faction.  Players will be able to choose which of their eight cities become Druid, Briton or Fey to further enhance how they wish to play Kingdoms of Camelot.

    At its essence, Kingdoms of Camelot is all about building. One of the top requests we get from players is city and building expansion features. The problem is that the game has eight cities already, and simply adding more cities makes the game increasingly more difficult to manage on a day to day basis.  The release of Kingdoms of Camelot: Ascension looks to expand cities in a new way.

    Jason began his artistic career when his parents showed him how to put muscles on dinosaurs around age 4. Since then, he has been ceaselessly using every visual tool he can find to create creatures, places, cultures, and characters for all mediums. He has worked in theatre, television, books, advertising and most recently video games, coming off of the largest game production in history,Star Wars: The Old Republicfor BioWare. He crafted the environments for multiple planets prominently featured in BioWare's MMO. Jason frequently spaces out staring at pictures of Iceland and a herd of prehistoric bison wandering towards a distant glacier is never far from his thoughts.
