This is the current state of the game, awaiting the next pledge goal. Once reached, further development progress will continue, alongside bug fixes and improvements to balance and gameplay.

This phase will start 3 weeks after the $2000 milestone is funded

This phase will start 3 weeks after the $5000 milestone is funded

This goal requires an additional 3k investment due to the complexity of the task. Each animation (Idle, Walk, Block, Slash, Jump, Dance, and more) must be created, which is a highly demanding process. In addition, crafting sprites for every equipment piece, tailored for each race and animation, adds further complexity.

The following classes will also be available: Warrior, Shaman, Paladin, and Mage. This particular objective necessitates an extra 3k investment due to the intricacy of the task. Creating graphic assets for each animation (such as Idle, Walk, Block, Slash, Jump, Dance, and more) is a highly demanding endeavor.

Furthermore, crafting the appropriate sprites for every available equipment piece in the game, tailored for each race and animation, adds to the complexity of this undertaking. Also the following classes will be available: Warrior, Shaman, Paladin, Mage

This phase will start 3 weeks after the $7000 milestone is funded

Upon attaining the 7k milestone, we will add additional US and Asian servers to play with less ping in these regions. Also this website will be enhanced to serve as the central hub for the game. This comprehensive platform will offer the following features:

Official Release will launch 1 month after Phase 4 is reached

Once Phase 4 is launched and the game has been tested and played by many players for one month, Swords & Crystals will officially exit beta and be considered a completed release. At that point, crowdfunding will conclude.

However, the game will continue to evolve with regular updates, new expansions, and seasonal events. Swords & Crystals will always be free to play, with optional in-game purchases limited to cosmetic items and minor time-saving conveniences—never pay-to-win.

We are committed to keeping your adventures fresh and engaging while preserving the value of your hard-earned achievements and belongings. Updates will be carefully designed to enhance the game without disrupting the experience or devaluing your progress, unlike what’s often seen in many major MMORPG titles.

I am primarily working alone on this project, handling most responsibilities such as design, programming, art, and marketing. Music and the majority of the graphics are outsourced to other artists.

This crowdfunding plays a pivotal role in bringing me closer to my dream of becoming a full-time game developer. More importantly, it helps expedite the arrival of Swords & Crystals in an improved state.

While I’m confident I could gradually develop this game on my own over several years with patience, I recognize its incredible potential to flourish with a modest kick-start that significantly accelerates development. With complete funding, the game will not only reach the market faster and in a better form but also with much more content.

The MMORPG landscape is somewhat lacking in exceptional titles, despite being my preferred gaming genre. I often struggle to find engaging and competitive online role-playing games. It’s clear many gaming communities share this sentiment, and there’s a noticeable void in the MMORPG genre.

The only MMORPGs I truly appreciate are WoW and RS in its old, classic days. While the graphics of Swords & Crystals are not directly comparable to these major MMORPG titles, the top-down graphics and gameplay set it apart.

Swords & Crystals has the potential to become one of the most comprehensive and unique online games in the scene. I believe it can revitalize the MMORPG experience, making it enjoyable and exciting once again, and set itself apart with unique top-down graphics and gameplay.
