Hi all,

 

We're coming up on the 3-month mark since I started this project, and I am happy to report that I've been chipping away every week.  There's been a handful of folks who have been part of very early playtesting, and I think we're ready to transition into Open Alpha!

 

. . . Also, a huge shout out to Pandilex, Maven and Xlithan for their continued support and encouragement.

 

The game is still in its early stages but if you want to be part of a budding community, kill some stuff, level up, and generally mess around then this is for you!

 

  • I am targeting Open Alpha to launch of Saturday, December 23rd
  • There will be special in-achievements that can be earned by participating and for also completing all the early game content (hitting the alpha level cap, killing the bosses, etc.)
  • You may also be eligible to win a prize/real life gift card/Venmo for participating and providing meaningful feedback

 

The game is fully hosted in a production environment and you can learn more here: https://whispering-winds.io/

There's also an active Discord community, where I post consistent development updates: https://discord.gg/qZ9mPrxtpJ

Note:  You can create an account and character now, but you won't be able to log in until Open Alpha launches -- but feel free to reach out to me on the Discord server if you're interested in being in the final phase of invite-only testing (Robicus on the Discord server).

 

Here's a look at the initial races:

  • Humans
  • Elves
  • Dwarves
  • Orcs

And the game currently features 4 classes:

  • Bladesworn
  • Ethermancer
  • Rogue
  • Divinist

 

Here are some recent screenshots:

That's so awesome, Gaddy!

I'm excited to see Wayfarer, Stadius and the likes venturing in the world.  ^_^

 

By the way- I invited you to the Discord server. Would love to have you in there -- it's a great place to see much more real-time updates on development notes, progress, etc. Cheers!
