Former BioWare Developers Hit Kickstarter With Mooncrest

Mooncrest former BioWare developers turn to Kickstarter

Former BioWare developers have turned to Kickstarter to fund their next project, Mooncrest. It’s set to be a story-driven fantasy RPG that focuses on two female protagonists, and the team developing the game apparently has more than 20 years of combined development experience. Mooncrest has a $400,000 fundraising goal and at the time of writing is sitting at almost $9,000 pledged.

The ad for Mooncrest is a little weird – it doesn’t show any gameplay or give much information about what exactly we’ll see in the game. Instead, the video shows two women go from being on the verge of getting into an argument over a traffic incident to discussing what they’d like to see in a video game. They reminisce about the RPG games of old, talking about Souls combat, challenging puzzles, and strong female protagonists. Meanwhile, a group of KnightMayor developers are listening in from the background.

This isn’t the first we’ve heard of Mooncrest. KnightMayor have been releasing small updates about the game over the past few weeks. KnightMayor, which is made up of former BioWare developers, intends to make the game in the same vein as the classic old BioWare RPGs.

Mooncrest promises a story of “sisterhood,” with both protagonists being female, and “an immersive story of fellowship where the interactions with your wayward companion propel you on an adventure of intrigue.” According to the Kickstarter page, the game will feature real-time combat “where your wits will matter as much as your reflexes” and challenging puzzles that will “reward your cleverness.” Sounds good to me.

“After generations of peace, whispers of an ominous threat are heard on the streets of Mooncrest,” the pitch reads. “Can a mismatched pair of heroines overcome the challenges of their enemies and each other or will all end in ruin?”

There’s no launch date yet for Mooncrest, and its completion time will likely depend on the success of this Kickstarter campaign. There are 29 days left until it finishes, and we can likely expect more information over the next few weeks. It’d be great to see a classic-style RPG with two female heroines.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
