@SkezLive @teocimic27 @rhykker @MoonbeastInc IOW, not asking players to play through the same exact story and maps again and again and again.

[Phil Shenk @pshenk]

@SkezLive @teocimic27 @rhykker @MoonbeastInc It’s all about generating fresh, unpredictable (but replicable and shareable) experiences. Imagine firing up a game of D2, but the world was as unexpected and open for discovery as a Minecraft seed.

[Phil Shenk @pshenk]

@SkezLive @teocimic27 @rhykker @MoonbeastInc We’ve talked about ARPG progression in a sandbox world. Every world is different but you’re free to share worlds with each other, so if you find an interesting, unusual or crazy one, others can have the same experience.
It’s like “world runs” vs “boss runs”

[Phil Shenk @pshenk]

@teocimic27 @rhykker Well, that’s what we’re working on at @MoonbeastInc ;)

[Phil Shenk @pshenk]

@rhykker I like that you’re calling this out… As you know, this is a big issue we’re working on (shameless plug 😂)

[Phil Shenk @pshenk]

Wishlist this if it’s your jam!

The possibilities for this are mind blowing :)

[Moonbeast @MoonbeastInc]

Creating "adventures"... All game worlds are unique & you can easily customize a lot or a little. Imagine your own game! What if you could create quests, bosses, locations & more in a game like #diablo & share w the community? What would you name your world? 🤯#ARPG #GDC2024

[Phil Shenk @pshenk]

@offlinebots @MoonbeastInc @MortalCrux We were just talking about those old Snowblind games yesterday … Fantastic references!

[Phil Shenk @pshenk]

Hot stuff happening 😜

[Moonbeast @MoonbeastInc]

Here's a more extreme version of terrain deformation. Game worlds are entirely unique & can be dynamically & persistently altered by actions. Here’s an early look at the interaction between the elemental powers of fire and ice!

@MrLlamaSC @missmoogirl Congratulations you two!

We did a first look of the game yesterday, still available via VOD. All still very WIP, but excited enough to talk about it

[Erich Schaefer @mediumclawboy]

Hey game dev followers, we're doing a sneak preview of the new game I've been working on at 1PM PST if you're interested: https://t.co/M3JLNgfNlz

@Xtimus @mediumclawboy @davidtglenn @davidbrevik I don’t remember specifically but it kind of feels familiar :/
