This January we will be going hands-on for a couple of new new games. One is an MMORPG that is a bit of a mystery and has a lot of potential but also has a lot of unanswered questions. We'll be exploring the Quinfall on January 30th. The second is a game we got our hands on just long enough to be hooked and begging for more. Enshrouded is a 16-player cooperative survival game that puts more focus on the story and surviving fierce foes than it does surviving the PvTree battlefield that most survival games go overboard with. Take a look at these two and see if they're something you'd be interested in playing with us!
The Quinfall
This one is the most mysterious of the group. It is aiming for a global release on January 30th. It is an MMORPG developed out of Istanbul leveraging AI technology. The small team created a proof of concept which was highly revered by the players who played it. This prototype was used to acquire funding from venture capital companies which allowed the. To grow the team and create Quinfall in less than 3 years without a single cent earned from its fan base. There has been no crowdfunding, no preorders, no gimmicks. Just hard work, elbow grease, and a round of VC funding.
Now the Quinfall might become just another failed MMO which is quite possible as they don't have a lot of media available to show their product outside of two videos that are 11 and 7 minutes in length. A lot is still unknown but the game already has a flushed-out wiki with a whole lot of screenshots and information. So it's really anyone's guess as to what we will see on the 30th.
If they succeed this will be one of those industry-shifting events where a little group of 3 people have a vision of building a MMORPG using AI and grow into a team of 50j developers and actually pull it off. Most MMOs take 8 to 10 years to create. They did it in less than 3. This certainly has the potential to be something.
Either way, I will be checking it out to see if it is suitable for our community. I will let you know what I learn. You can join me by heading over to https://www.gaiscioch.com/the_quinfall/
Enshrouded
On January 24th Enshrouded will make its way to Steam. Enshrouded released a playable demo a little while ago that was massively praised. People's biggest complaint was that 8 hours just wasn't enough time. The demo was available for all to play up to 8 hours per character. This demo did a great job of getting people hooked. Even some of our Gaiscioch found this game seriously fun and enjoyable.
I will be opening up a private server for Enshrouded for all of us at Gaiscioch to enjoy. We will be gathering on Sundays at 11AM PT for some group activities and exploration. This cooperative survival game puts more effort into combat and exploration than farming endless materials and constantly having to feed yourself. Up to 16 players can play together in this adventure.
