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

Upon reaching Phase 2 we will be introducing Trading and Marketplace System. Players will now be able to trade directly with each other, allowing for a more dynamic and player-driven economy. Additionally, an Action House Marketplace will be available, enabling players to buy and sell items to the wider community. This opens up exciting new opportunities to acquire rare and valuable gear, share resources, and create new ways to progress in the game.

Futhermore, a smooth, enjoyable, and highly competitive PvP system, adding a whole new layer of excitement and depth to Swords & Crystals. In addition, online leaderboards will be fully implemented, tracking a wide variety of achievements across the game world. Players will be able to compete for spots in categories such as: Top 20 Fastest Boss Kills, Most Quests Completed, Top 20 Wealthiest Players, and many more! Every month, the best player in each category will receive very valuable rewards such as rare or epic mystery gifts, free DLCs, or Steam gift codes worth $100. All live rankings will be viewable both in-game via the Ranks Panel and this website, allowing players to track their progress and see their current position in real time.

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, etc.) must be created, which is a highly demanding process. In addition, crafting sprites for every equipment piece in the game for every body slot (head, body, legs, etc), tailored for each race and animation, adds further complexity.

The following classes will also be available: Warrior, Shaman, Paladin, and Mage. The introduction of new classes adds another significant complexity. Balancing these classes to prevent any from becoming overpowered or creating unfair gameplay is a critical challenge. Each class has unique strengths, weaknesses, and abilities, all of which must be carefully balanced for both PvP and PvE to ensure fair and engaging gameplay across all scenarios.

Also additional US and Asian servers be added, to play with less ping in these regions.

This phase will start 3 weeks after the $10000 milestone is funded

Upon attaining the 10k milestone, a range of exciting new features will be introduced to enhance and elevate the competitive gameplay experience. Players can now participate in Territory Wars, where each player race belongs to its own unique faction. Humans, Troll, and Elfs will battle against one another for control of several strategic towers scattered across the open world. The more towers a race controls, the greater the rewards and benefits that will be granted to the entire player race. Success in these wars will require not only individual strength, but also coordination and strategy among your faction members to dominate the map.

In addition, we’re introducing a brand new Battle Royale mode called Crystals of Conquest. In this fast-paced, high-stakes mode, 30 players will be dropped into the original Swords and Crystals game world, but instanced with all NPCs removed and the whole environment for PvP combat. Players will start with no equipment and must scavenge for gear and weapons while eliminating each other to be the last one standing. As the match progresses, the playable area will shrink, forcing players into tighter spaces and intensifying the combat. It’s a pure player-versus-player experience where survival is key, and only the strongest will emerge victorious.

Alongside these PvP additions, we’re also opening up challenging new 5-player dungeons. These dungeons are filled with long, winding halls, each guarded by elite mobs that will require careful pulling and precise coordination to defeat. As you make your way through the dungeon, your group will need to work together to handle each encounter until you reach the final boss. Victory will reward your team with powerful loot, but only the most organized and skilled groups will conquer the toughest challenges.

Also will this website 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 OSRS 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.
