It’s amazing how something as simple as days turning into nights and vice-versa can serve to transform a static setting into a living, breathing world. ArtCraft hopes that its new day/night cycle will help to immerse players into Crowfall’s campaign settings when it comes with Patch 5.7. The studio previewed the new tech, showed off hunger crystals, and answered yet more player questions in the May dev video.
Ten Ton Hammer recently caught up with ArtCraft’s J. Todd Coleman to talk about Crowfall’s progress. “We’ve been working hard on filling out our checklist of Races and Classes (plus over 100 Disciplines, which act like sub-classes),” Coleman said, “as well as filling in all of the game systems. We have a full array of powers and power mechanics (mana, stamina, rage, energy, pips, you name it), crafting (with about a thousand unique recipes, I think?), harvesting and group harvesting, territory capture and castle destruction… the game isn’t done, obviously, but there is a LOT of game there.”
Coleman said that ArtCraft’s team is up to around 45 employees and is focused on Patches 5.6, 5.7, and beyond.
