Developing a fun new game from the ground up that at its heart is an adventurous ARPG that's built off of simulation elements to delight our players. Players are actively exploring countless islands from shattered worlds, engaging in combat against inspired and unusual foes, unearthing mysteries, bringing together allies who are cool and unexpected. The big twist is how simulation elements play into the RPG elements, including how we grow our own weapons and explore in the world with a sky whale. There are fun hooks to meld the unique pacing of simulation and ARPG games where the players decide how they engage with the game. We aim to provide all players elements they find fun for them!At Darkbright Studios, we are a dynamic, growing startup led by a decorated team of industry veterans, and backed by some of the biggest names in the gaming space. We’re dedicated to showing the world that web3 isn’t a genre - it’s a platform that best-in-class, unforgettable experiences can be built on!
