Make My MMO: Camelot Unchained works on Mages, the WoW Diary is about to Kickstart

September 23, 2018 2:00 PM

This week week in MMO crowdfunding, Camelot Unchained has been working on everything from earrings to pathfinding, though the effort on Mages is probably going to be most interesting to gamers.

“The work going on now involves making a plan from both a technical and an artistic perspective. Mike is going through the VFX list, coming up with a breakdown of his approach. Tyler and Scott are revisiting the old ‘shared’ cast animations so we can prototype sooner. Technically speaking, we’re identifying the extra functionality the VFX system requirements, as well as making sure that the new skills can be supported. Once this is done, Ben and Mark will do another evaluation of the classes, and if that goes well, we’ll certify them as ready for development. Once that begins, Ben and Mark will do a class presentation for them.”

Meanwhile, Albion Online is hiring and has kicked off a new guild season, Crowfall posted a time-lapse of weapon creation, Elite Dangerous’ Gnosis event cleaned up nicely, Chronicles of Elyria released all-new lore, and Star Citizen delayed more content to 3.3.5.

Finally, if you’re angling for another book on Ultima Online and Richard Garriott, there’s a new Kickstarter to fund just that. The book’s called Through the Moongate. The World of Warcraft Diary is likewise on track to Kickstart this week with almost half a million dollars (it had a $10,000 goal).

Read on for more on what’s been up with MMO crowdfunding over the last week and our roundup of all the crowdfunded MMOs we’re following.
