On June 25th, strategic MMORPG WAKFU will be launching “Haven Worlds”.
Azael, the Lead Games Designer for WAKFU talks about the features within their latest project through a developers diary vid. Haven Worlds looks to be an impressive addition to the gorgeous online tactical turn-based MMORPG, with an emphasis on the player customizing their own personal region of the online world.
You can create your own region with it’s own fields, houses, taverns and - something altogether astounding - the monsters that appear. You can even kit out your houses and whatnot with different themed skins for extra added flavour - with an inclusion of a completely customisable version of each object just in case you were feeling that bit more special. Azael makes sure to emphasise that you will be able to move your objects around once you have placed them - this isn’t about strategic placement of towers, this is about creating an area that you will enjoy shaping to your own liking.
The concept of creating your own section of a world is nothing new to games; Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire introduced the Secret Bases and Habbo Hotel had you kitting out your room with all the furni that money could buy. But the idea that you can orchestrate how the monsters appear within your level has set a new agenda for the most creative folk out there.
Players will also be able create their own DUNGEON. If this doesn’t get you excited I don’t really know what will.
You can place your own casino, your own crafting workshop - if the possibilities aren’t endless, they’re pretty darned close.
