Happy New Year everyone!
I'm working on a game called Erenshor. Erenshor is a "Simulated MMORPG" where you can enjoy all of the MMORPG gameplay and features that you love, in a single player, offline environment. The other players on your server are run by (Non-LLM) AI. Right now the game runs with approximately 100 other "players" in your game, all of which you can talk to, group with, raid with, and trade with.
Video: In December I put out a development update that you can see here, where I go over what's new in the game, what's coming next, and show some footage of areas beyond the demo.
I'm a solo developer, and for the past 20 years this has been my dream project. I've been working on it officially for the past 4 years, every single day. Lately it's really been coming to life in a lot of ways - the Erenshor community is an incredible group of folks who are supportive, friendly, and many are helping to test the game. (Testers are getting 100-130 hours or so out of the of content as it stands now)
Video: There's a trailer for the game here for any who'd like to check that out.
I'm currently gearing up for early access release in the next few months (date TBD, testers are doing their thing still). Early access will include those 100+ hours of content I mentioned, and then regular updates as raid content and endgame content is added into the game.
There's been some neat new updates to the demo in the past few months, including the ability to tell your SimPlayers which gear to equip for an encounter. As you give them gear or they acquire their own gear, they'll store their old items for this purpose. Example Pic.
I've also been focusing on world building for the release build, including a new area called "Prielian Cascade" where a band of outlaws has holed up and are researching, capturing, and breeding the fearsome animals of Erenshor to export to other places for profit. Here's some pics of the in-development zone:
Pic 1, Pic 2, Pic 3
Additionally, I'm at the point in my design process where it's time to make a 'second pass' over all of the game zones to beautify, add lore, add flavor, and add content. I've recently done Port Azure, which is the game's main city. Here's some pics of the city:
Town Square
Gossip in the tavern
As always. a Wishlist on the steam page goes a long long way to supporting the project. There's a demo if you'd like to play around with it a bit, and of course, we have a discord! (not sure if i can link that here) and we'd love to have you there.
I'm here all afternoon to chat if anyone has comments or questions!
