Stonehearth has what can be called a ‘cutesy’ art style but don’t take that as a negative. Players will also be able to model new buildings, weapons, and armor throughout the game in an art style that is similar to Lego. An option will also be available for straight-up city building, without the danger of combat. As the player’s city grows, it will attract the attention of bosses throughout the game world, and inevitably a struggle for survival against these monsters will begin. Within each city will be your settlers, each with their own job who can be upgraded through the use of what promises to be a detailed leveling-up system for both settlers and technologies. Buildings will be constructed either brick by brick or through pre-fabricated sets, and subterranean game structures may be possible sometime after the game is released. The core of the game is intended to be city construction, with Radiant Studios emphasizing a feeling of ownership over cities and a focus on making each player-built settlement unique. A variety of different clans and factions will be available as well as different jobs that your settlers can take on, which will be similar to classes in other RPGs. The game world looks to be divided amongst different clans that will be competing with the player for the game world’s resources. The current plan is for a single-player version, with strong potential for a multiplayer version with PvP and co-op set up as stretch goals. Stonehearth will do this within an open-world sandbox, with real-time strategic gameplay and RPG elements tweakable as the game goes on. Empower them by helping them grow their own food, build their own houses, and contribute to their defense. Take control of a group of settlers in a fantasy world, and lead them not just to survival, but to a thriving settlement. Stonehearth will provide opportunities for both exploration and expansion, survival and construction. Stonehearth by Radiant Studios appears to be doing many things right. $214,356 pledged of $120,000 goal, funding ends Thursday May 30 at 1:00amĪ game design has to be doing something right to earn almost $100K more than its Kickstarter goal almost a month before funding ends. For more information check out its Kickstarter page. Son of Nor has already been recognized with several different awards and looks polished enough to scurry off into the desert on its own when its ready in Q2 of 2014.
STONEHEARTH MULTIPLAYER FREEZING TRIAL
Each enemy will have its own set of weaknesses that will have to be discovered through trial and error by both solo players and multiplayer teams. The game world is slated to include wilderness areas, underground catacombs, cities and temples, each with their own set of threats. Player powers can also be combined in a multiplayer game to manipulate the environment in ways that players cannot do alone, or defeat enemies that players cannot handle solo.
StillAlive Studios is also pouring a lot of energy into the game soundtrack and original story too, which they want to further aid in pulling the player into Noshrac. A HUD and a UI will be minimal to non-existent, to aid in player-immersion. Discovering which combos work is a major part of the gameplay.
Enemies will need to be brought down with specific attacks and combinations of powers. Player powers in Son of Nor will include telekinesis…using the avatar’s mind to pick up weapons and in-game items to fight, terraforming and manipulation of the game world, and elemental magic divided into wind, fire, and essence. To be the best fighter possible, the player will need to explore the game world and take advantage of strategically placed temples and avoid traps in order to advance…in other words, solve puzzles to improve magical combat abilities.
The game takes place in the desert-world of Noshrac (not Horshack) where the player is thrown into conflict against desert-dwelling beasts and an army of warriors called Sarahul. Son of Nor is planned as a 3 rd-person, fantasy-themed ARPG that will be playable in either single- or multiplayer coop mod, with up to four players cooperating online or through a split screen. See, we here at GARPA not only alert you to the best new crowd funded games coming to your desktop and PC…we also give you plenty of excuses for not going outside and reserving more time for gaming. You definitely don’t want to be outside then. Also there’s a plague of locusts coming to the region as well. Which makes for a good excuse for gaming instead of being outside. Spring is well under way even though we are still freezing are butts off here in the northeast at night.
