Hey guys,

I've been working for a bit on a game called Izle. The initial idea was to make an MMO and right now we're still working on the single player version, and it's entering closed alpha very soon. I'm pretty much on my own right now, so if you're interested by the concept or have questions, don't hestiate I'll try to answer as much as i can

Official website :Izle

Register account :here(I will send some news and alpha builds to registered players)

The game is inspired mainly by EQ, DotA, Zelda, Dark Soul and Minecraft. It's a third person action-adventure RPG where you build your own world. The idea is to give the player as much freedom as possible, to build your own class, your own kingdom, and then take care of it. We might be on Kickstarter in the upcoming months.

If you happen to be in Paris at the end of the month (who knows!) we'll have a playable demo at Paris Game Week (and i'll be there too ofc).

About me : I'm here because I used to play EQ and because i love the honesty of this community. Back in the days I wasn't FoH, I was on Tribunal in <Sol Invictus>. In 1999 I was 14 years old, and I made this little web site aboutHakek Dragonslayer my Dwarf Warrior, if you played EQ back then I think you will enjoy it. Again I made this when I was 14 yo, so excuse the english and the simplicity You can also have a look atmy personnal web site, but it's not as cool as the EQ story for sure.

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen, you have no idea how good it feels to hear them! *Hugs*

Soygen / Sylverlokk / TecKnoe / abefroman -> The gods of Izle thank you for your registration!

I digged an old EQ story about myself that might be of small interest, I added it to OP, and you cansee it here.

The flying ship (The Drifter) is pretty much your home in single player. And it might become a vehicle if we do a major expansion (in a very very long time tho).

You said "we" at first, then "I"m on my own atm", so just you working on it now?

Click to expand...

About 15 people worked on the game overall, but right now i'm the only full time, others are freelances (I use to have full time artists, but no longer because it's not needed right now). I hope that explains it

I completely agree about everything you say about combat too, and right now it's not entirely ready, mostly because of pathfinding not being polished yet. The bow mechanics is great (quake style), and we have some cool action spells that require aiming too. Also swords that shoot missiles, and that's very satisfying to use

I have been trying to setup a Kickstarter for a bit, but it's pretty hard from France without a large budget, and a lot of time... But I'll try again soon, it's definetly the plan.

Quick update : We received 5 awards at Game Connection last week Game Connection Europe: Development Awards Winners and First Figures | Game Connection

Also I think I found a partner to make a Kickstarter in Q1 2015, so things are looking good!

And about 350 people play tested the game last week, and we're getting great feedback, next on the list : making some crazy cool islands
