Heroworld
HeroWorld (HW)
Sponsored Fork of Crossfire Multiplayer RPG
Contact Girl-Titus #8604 on Discord to discuss participating in this project!
What is Heroworld (HW)?
HW is a graphical multiplayer open-world retro RPG rogue-like in the same vein as Angband or Gauntlet. Heroworld takes place in a high fantasy world with occasional technological elements and offers a huge amount of questing and exploration, literally years of secrets and hidden things to find. All this exploration is wrapped around HW's strong emphasis on player-directed world building. HW players are encouraged to make use of the hugely developed crafting system to build their own artifacts, construct their own buildings and even found their own cities complete with shops they have built and stocked and temples to religions they have themselves founded.
THE GOAL OF HEROWORLD IS TO CREATE FOR OUR PLAYERS A TRUE, EVOLVING FANTASY WORLD THAT CHANGES WITH THE ACTIONS OF OUR PLAYERS
HW is a fork of the MMO RPG Crossfire that itself has roots going all the way back to the 1980s.
HW IS CURRENTLY IN BETA AND SO IS CLOSED TO CASUAL PLAY, YOU MUST CONTACT Girl-Titus #8604 ON DISCORD
HEROWORLD NEEDS CONTRIBUTORS!
Reach out to Girl-Titus #8604 to discuss how you can participate in the development of HW. We need as many hands in this as possible in order to ensure for our players that they'll always be finding something new and interesting.
HW IS NOT A PVP OPTIMIZED SERVER - OUR FEELING AT HW.dev IS THAT THIS CAN FREE UP DEVELOPERS TO PURSUE POTENTIALLY 'UNBALANCABLE' FEATURES.
