~ Getting Excited for Play2Crush ~




It was on January 25th, just last year when Todd J. Coleman announced he'd be leaving KingsIsle to pursue his own course. He had envisioned a new game, a game that will set high standards for future MMORPGs. And throughout the course of the year he's kept us updated with his progress. To the right of this paragraph you can see Coleman's "Mystery Artist" at work. 

Just the other day Coleman released the teaser site of his new game. And featured right on it is the moto of ArtCraft which you can view right here:


Where did we go wrong?

There was a time when our industry took CHANCES.
Our games didn’t have to appeal to everyone, and we didn’t judge ourselves solely on mass market success.
With amusement park games, it’s impossible to lose. With sandbox games, it’s impossible to win.
If you can’t win and you can’t lose, then. . .

What's the point of playing?

I don’t want to kill more rats, fill another experience point bar or collect another meaningless badge.
I want to play a GAME, against PLAYERS where my actions, my decisions and my SKILL will determine if I win or lose.
Allies. Enemies. Alliances. Betrayal. Risk. Conquest. To compete with THOUSANDS of other players for a chance to claim the THRONE.
Even if I lose, the experience won’t feel hollow. I don’t want another worthless trophy.

            TOTAL DAYS LEFT UNTIL PLAY2CRUSH BETA: 63

In a world where game developers have been using the same format for a decade, two game developers set off to make a new game not like any other game.

Ok, enough with the cheesy prologue I made at 12:01 AM because I am so excited so let me get to the point and write the 4858 page summary on it now. Play2Crush is a new game, like it says in the title, that doesn't use the same format other games have been using for a decade. Play2Crush is made by 2 well known game developers, J Todd Coleman (Shadowbane, Wizard101, Pirate101) and Gordon Walton (Ultima Online, Star Wars: Galaxies, Star Wars: the Old Republic) who have combined. Well, I won't spoil the rest. I would read everything you can on the link down below under the group numbers for everyone on the blog has gotten accepted so far:                                        

     Jace - Group #1
