Everyone has a fighting chance
The Crowfall news blast has arrived and is packed with all the weekly happenings behind the game. Included this week are several cool bits such as the winners of the 2015 Cawstume Contest; a look at how the Champion archetype will be equipped; a spotlight on UX designer Billy Garretsen and a Founder’s update.
The latest developer blog has been posted to the Crowfall site that gives fans a first look (and one that can change in the course of development!) at the way the newest archetype, the Champion, utilizes powers and the UI for maximum benefit in battle.
Cosplay is a topic that I hold near and dear to my heart. So when ArtCraft Entertainment announced the new Crowfall "Cawstume" contest last week, I got a little more excited than I probably should have.
With the first Pre-Alpha test having wrapped up just a week or so ago, we caught up with ArtCraft’s Todd Coleman to chat about the lessons learned, the next step of Pre-Alpha, and what Todd thinks about the current state of MMOs. Read on for the full interview!
The latest Crowfall newsletter has arrived and it’s packed with lots of new information and cool stuff about the game. Among other things, fans can get the first look at castles; be introduced to Zaleena, a goddess in the pantheon; get a spiffy new wallpaper for desktops and more.
Guild strongholds are going to play a major part in Crowfall, but what happens when nobody’s home with everyone offline? In the latest ACE Q&A, Todd Coleman and Thomas Blair tackle this community question among others. See what they had to say and leave us your thoughts.
After spending several hours in the recent Crowfall Pre-Alpha Combat Test 1, I can say without a doubt my confidence in this crowdfunded title has never been stronger. For ArtCraft entertainment to take this player-driven MMORPG from a Kickstarter demo in March of 2015 to a playable module in August is nothing short of impressive. Considering that the module was delivered on-time and is actually fun game mode, it’s my opinion that the future couldn’t be brighter for Crowfall.
The words "cash grab" get thrown around to represent how some feel that Crowfall might be set up to take all of our money without actually giving us anything real in return. This is a scary reality for many crowdfunded games, but it’s always been a risk that developers have shouldered.
The Crowfall team has gone on record via Twitter to announce that the latest stretch goal for the team has been passed and that the male assassin archetype will be added to the game.
Artcraft Entertainment has revealed a pair of exciting news tidbits of keen interest to EU Crowfall players. Andreas Weidenhaupt, co-founder of Frogster Online Gaming and founder of Infernum Productions, has been named to the Crowfall advisory board as its EU specialist. In addition, localized web and game servers will be opening in Europe in the near future. The German site and server will be opening later this week.
