Starstride Devlog: Embark on a thrilling MMORPG action odyssey in a Monster Hunter-inspired universe
Ever since I can remember, video games were more than just pixels and mechanics; they were about heartbeats and cherished memories. As the producer and driving force behind our much-anticipated game, I'm thrilled to share our journey, which has been nothing short of magical.
Our team is a passionate startup, dedicated to a game concept we've been nurturing for years. While many of us come with ample industry experience, this venture marks my debut in game production. My love for gaming ignited during childhood and later took a scholarly turn during my postgraduate studies in Japan's ACG culture. When I returned to Shenzhen, the dream that began during my college days in the U.S. blazed anew, leading to the birth of our current project.
Our game's inspiration came from a love for cooperative action coupled with the intricate dynamics of MMORPGs. The captivating "Soul Sacrifice" was a significant muse that influenced our creative direction. Personally, I've always been drawn to the worlds of action, RPGs, and online gaming. Lately, "Final Fantasy 7 Remake," "Final Fantasy 16," and "Fire Emblem: Three Houses" have held me in rapt attention.
The development journey spans five years, filled with multiple iterations and an ever-evolving team that ballooned to 50 members at one point. Among the eclectic bunch is our lead artist, an avid collector of anime figurines and curious critters. A particularly memorable episode from our development phase involves a mischievous lizard that decided to make a desk its home for a week!
We ventured into a Monster Hunter-themed universe because the idea of battling colossal bosses, paired with a rewarding character progression, always intrigued me. However, the solo journey in such games left a void. Merging these experiences with MMO elements felt like the perfect opportunity to enrich this genre.
Our game stands out for its:
● Immersive, realistic art tailored for high-octane action.
● Personalized mech customization that allows players to showcase their identity.
● An engaging character growth mechanism.
Given that this is our debut game, every element posed its unique challenges, transforming each pixel, dialogue, and design into a learning experience. I must express my deep gratitude to our player who attend to our early access.
As for the future, we envision continually enhancing our game's universe, experimenting with different gameplay dynamics and artistic directions, including a potential venture into the 2D realm.
As a parting gift, I'm thrilled to share some exclusive glimpses into our concept art, sketches, and intriguing drafts. [Insert Images Here]
