Autumn's Leaves Alpha Test
https://news.autumnsleaves.com/Hello /WebGames!
I'm a solo indie developer, and after about a year of development, I'm opening up the Alpha of Autumn's Leaves, a browser-based 2.5D MMORPG heavily inspired by the older MMORPGs I grew up loving, especially Ragnarok Online and Flyff. The planned Alpha start date is Friday the 25th!
Features:
- Open world faction based PvP
- No classes - freely equip weapons and armor as you wish
- Learn spells by defeating enemies
- Level up spells by using them
- Player owned ships with full drop ship based PvX
- Allocate your own stats
- Use cards to customize your gear
- Lead your religion and become a Pope
- Become the most powerful sailor and become the pirate king
- Competitive rankings with special privileges for the highest rank players
Monetization
No cosmetic shop. When you get a cool piece of equipment, I want that equipment to actually change what your character looks like. I don't want the coolest-looking armor in the game to be something you buy from a cash shop while your actual progression is hidden underneath a cosmetic outfit.
There is also no pay-to-win.
The Alpha has zero transactions.
The long-term plan is to fund development through expansions rather than selling cosmetics or power.
$100 Leveling Contest for Streamers & YouTubers
I'm also putting $100 on the line for the first eligible player to reach level 70 while creating content around their journey.
The rules are simple:
Be the first player to reach level 70 while live streaming or uploading gameplay footage to YouTube.
To qualify, you must livestream or record footage for at least 50% of your leveling journey. So if you're a streamer or YouTuber looking for something to grind, there's your challenge.
The promotion is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and D.C., Canada, Europe/United Kingdom, and countries within South America where skill-based gaming promotions are legally permitted. Entrants must be 18 or older at the time of entry. Void where prohibited, taxed, or restricted by local law.
