Four former BioWare developers have split from the RPG developer to found their own studio called KnightMayor. Their first title is a new role-playing game called Mooncrest, and they need the public's help to make it once it launches on Kickstarter.
The game is described as drawing inspiration from Dark Souls for its action-based combat system, with the story and cinematic focus of BioWare RPGs, and adventure and puzzle elements.
Here's what's in store, from the official site:
- A Story of Sisterhood: An immersive story of fellowship where the interactions with your wayward companion propel you on an adventure of intrigue.
- “Souls-style” Combat: Engage in tactical, real-time combat where your wits will matter as much as your reflexes.
- Challenging Puzzle Solving: Tease your brain with intuitive puzzles that favor logic and reward your cleverness.
Mooncrest's story revolves around two main heroines—a Paladin named Sera and a rogue named Pirotase.
It's unclear how the game will look, but the people developing the project include Rich Burton, James Henley, Brian Ledden, and Jeff Visgaitis.
We'll keep you updated with the development of the game once it hits Kickstarter.
