![]() ![]() Lauren and Andy Finalizing Their Founders Contract on the Slopes :D Enter the portal, and I will tell you more.įor more story, check out our choose your own adventure game on itch! Advisors and Contributors Adam Hetenyi - Principal Lead MMO Game Designer, Cryptic Studios Every fiber in my being tells me you have a part to play in our history. But every day the seal over Rhel'ka grows weaker, and there are those who have forgotten the lessons of the past, who would see another Calamity befall the world.īut there are some things that can only be seen in person. They have come to love the green, the forest, and even the dark night. Outside the city gates, people have learned to live with nature, rather than rule over it. The only city to emerge unscathed, was Zenith. The Zenithean Council made the decision that day to close their gates - sealing off the city off from all outlanders, forever dividing those within, and those without.Įventually Rhel'ka was sealed away in the darkest depths of the world, but the end of the war marked the deaths of half the peoples of our world. Hundreds of years ago a massive vessel from the stars commanded by the God-King Rhel'ka crashed into the world and unleashed unspeakable horrors, and upon the world. The Zenitheans, citizens of Zenith, harnessed Essence using their amplifiers and engineers to power and run the massive city-state. In our world, Essence is the life force inherent in all living things that enables those versed in the Old Way to weave magic. Combat is designed to feel satisfying at all skill levels.Īre you the hero we've been looking for? (◕‿◕✿) And while we want the game to feel real, and immersive, we also want it to to be easy to learn. For example, the ranged Essence Mage relies heavily on ranged throwing and aiming and accuracy, while the melee Blade Master relies on timing combos. Mastering each class will feel like mastering a new sport or martial art. Pull earth shields out of the ground, suck creatures in with devastating gravity wells, or simply blast them with ultimate power using chain lightning. Keep your wits about you, or you might be ambushed by wolves on the prowl, and step lightly when you enter your first dungeon! Beasts in the deep have most likely heard your footsteps already.Ĭombat in Zenith fully leverages the physicality of VR to deliver satisfying gameplay. Monsters you face off against in Zenith will dodge, hide, and hunt in lifelike ways, unlike any MMORPG you've seen before. Also, change the way you sound, so you can really remain anonymous, becoming who you want to be using voice modulation and filters.Ī fully immersive world must be filled with believable characters and AI. No floaty heads and hands typically seen in VR games. Zenith will feature full body avatars and animations. Want to play the role of a paladin? Or maybe a mage tank? The choice is yours! Customize your character's looks with a variety of different facial features. Instead of the typical holy trinity of Tank, DPS, and Healer, every class in Zenith can take on any of those roles, depending on which skills you equip. Zenith will also feature a large, open world, with no loading screens. We have plans to fully utilize Spatial OS for features like conquerable player settlements, crafting, and customizable player housing. In addition to powering huge worlds, the platform will enable previously impossible things in an MMORPG, like real physics, complex AI, and a landscape that evolves and is shaped by players and NPCs alike. We're partnering with Improbable and using Spatial OS, the world's most advanced MMORPG platform, which will enable us to create huge, dynamic, open worlds. That's why we've invested so much time and energy into crafting the environment to be visually striking, and beautiful. We want your life in Zenith to feel as visceral as your real life. Then, when you are ready to switch over to VR, you'll have the VR version ready to go, and we'll even port your progress into your new VR character! Play Zenith in the same world as your VR counterparts! The desktop gaming experience will feature a completely different playstyle and a different class that is custom designed for desktop. All backers will receive both a VR version of the game, and a desktop version of the game, tied using the same account ID. ![]() We’re building Zenith because we want to you to experience living in these worlds. These worlds were integral parts of our lives but it always felt like we were seeing those worlds through a small window. We religiously read books like Snow Crash, Ready Player One, and Rainbow's End. We loved Sword Art Online, Castle in the Sky, and other classic anime. We grew up playing games like Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, and more recently Nier: Automata. ![]()
