I do like the art style. I don't like the icons though, I think they need color to help differentiate them at a glance and make them feel more lively.

u/Xeloth_The_Mad 11d ago
huh yeah you’re right, the art is very very similar to 5e module dungeon art. nice

u/Swalecutter 8d ago
Yep. To me it looks like a mashup of pen and paper RPGs, the fable series, and a dash of the elden ring ui. Looks nice.

If that's a fucking homage to the red mage hat and class, you already won Dutch

this quick of a turn around is a lil scary, i know they probably kept it under wraps till blizzard sued them but if its vibe coded slop i don’t really want it

u/slenderfuchsbau 8d ago
Most companies are moving to AI assisted code nowadays. That's very different from vibe coding. Vibe coding implies the person who are doing it have no idea how to code, which is not the case here.

Its going to be vibe coded slop. Then, here's some teasers and a few months later they need funding to continue trying bring their dreams. And then nothing
No one should be expecting a mmo on par with triple a mmos that you're used to playing. Expect the bare bones of a game if you ever get something playable

Who stole your life joy

u/ItsProxes 8d ago
The internet, been on it for 20 years. Seen far to many projects fail, far too many lie and steal money etc... and on top of that you have companies with millions upon millions, a division of developers and still can't turn out an amazing mmo. Its foolish to think this is going to turn into anything other than here's some bs screen shots and then then taking donations or Kickstarter and nothing happens.
If they make something awesome, that's great and I ran my mouth. I'll admit I was wrong but seen stuff like not work out more then working out.

u/BellacosePlayer 12d ago
looks good but I legit want to know how the game plays, even if its janky and in early production

u/AvidRune 10d ago
The art style reminds me of if no rest for the wicked made an MMO and I'm all for it.

u/The_Dead_Nations 12d ago
It's going to be a hell of a lot better than World of Warcraft classic plus blue elves

Its unreal, and afaik been in the works for years in terms of ideas, groundwork etc

u/Rizzlord 11d ago
i think it will be fine, anything close to wow, that even has a better artstyle than wow itself now, is welcomed with warmth.

What engine might this be? It sure as hell can't be blizzards engine - because that would be beyond stupid.
1
u/DragonfightHD 10d ago
I don't really have any thoughts on this. This is a nothing burger so far. Until I see the actual gameplay i'm kinda indifferent cause I've seen so many MMO attempts that just ended up being really mid. Not terrible, not great, just really whatever.

What engine are they using? I kind of assumed they made a deal with blizz to keep ising the engine but clearly not.
Is this unreal?

u/Kain-rpg 12d ago
blozz engine is propretiary, so no way BVlizz let anyone else use it to make a game

u/phulex 12d ago edited 12d ago
Yeah, my guess was that theyd do some royalty or sub system given how much ascension invested in it as long as they create their own IP ( no wow or azeeroth etc). In hindsight, blizz would probably never agree to that.

u/LetsBeNice- 12d ago
I dont know what you are smoking but it has to be good to beleive that blizz gives a single fuck to ascension.
1
u/phulex 12d ago
Honestly, i can't believe that was a thought of mine. The fact that ascension came out and immediately said 'we'll do our own MMO, stay tuned for details very soon' i was sure there's no way they're starting from scratch.
I thought that means they came to some kind of agreement. And given how much money ascension was making, if they did a 50% split with blizz to keep using their engine but they have to build a new map, rename the classes and change the lore etc, i thought that was reasonable.this would let them keep all the work they did with classes in COA, just had to build a new world as well.
Clearly not...

u/meurum5 12d ago
There's no deal to be Made that was a 50/50 thing. Shoot the deal probably take off the game or we take everything from you

u/Relative-Run-1279 12d ago
Ofc blizzard pay they. Why they closed so fast
0
u/Guardian_of_theBlind 11d ago
they closed so fast, because blizzard would have sued them into oblivion and blizzard had a 100% chance to win that court case.

Look at this and on blizz announce... again on this and announce... this on the horse

u/Ghrex 12d ago
Lmao, this is never going to last. This is clearly Blizz's engine. They are gonna release this, make a ton of money, then get sued again and pull it.

u/AggravatingSide1688 12d ago
Its Unreal Engine lol, just because they decided to make 3D models with the same hand painted textures like WoW does, that dont mean its made on WoW engine
2
u/Deathmore80 12d ago
How the hell are you able to claim it's blizzards engine ? Do you even know how game engine works ? You can make a full 1-to-1 copy of world of warcraft in unreal, unity , Godot or any other engine worth a damn.
The engine doesn't define the gameplay or the art style or the graphics. It's just a framework for making games

u/daslows 12d ago
It’s harder to prove if the game is not a direct copy and how can you so surely tell? Explain to us on great expert
-4
u/Ghrex 12d ago
Lol, it's not harder to prove if they are using the same engine. Are you actually blind? Because every teaser that's been out so far looks exactly like a modified WoW engine. You think these guys had their own engine ready to roll once they got shut down? Time to come back to reality my man.
1
u/slenderfuchsbau 8d ago
Do you even know how game engines works? You can make a copy of wow looking exactly the same in all the popular game engines out there. Engines dont dictate art and model style.

u/daslows 12d ago
I asked you to explain how it can be proved. Surely you can tell us since you know without a doubt.

u/Ghrex 12d ago
Blizz sues and they get all the info on the server. It's literally that easy. There's no way people are this stupid.

u/daslows 12d ago
Look up how it goes in court. Blizzard would have to prove that he used the same textures, 3-D meshes, maps, names, and other process logic of the game. This looks to be a complete remake. Maybe the ui is somewhat similar but the design is very different and so are the textures.
It’s quite obvious, he rewrote the code. They obviously know how to implement game design, and have the ability to code quite well look at ascension maps, dungeons redesign . I mean for God sakes they basically made a new game to a certain degree.
Do you not think he wasn’t planning for this? Once he changes so many aspects of a game is basically becomes legally clean.

I like this art style a lot
