(There is only two of us making this game, so while I know everyone is enthusiastic about the possibilities, please allow us some time to cook. Content is going to take us a little longer than a big team, but we have a plan for success)

A dense hand crafted world to explore, with a robust fun locomotion system that allows you to go anywhere.
Climb the tallest mountains, brave the deepest waters, glide to distant lands, with many hidden treasure to uncover

A real time skill based combat system, where you can switch between fighting styles at the press of a button.
Melee, Ranged, Magic, Blocking, Dodging, Enjoy! and swap to different weapons during fights to keep it dynamic

Drop in Drop out, 3 players online, with a planned 2 player local couch co-op option. No Hassle and No Problems.
The Character you’ve been progressing in your Solo game, is the same one you will use and progress further in Co-op

Use a simplified Character Creator to make your unique character from multiple fantasy races to truly stand out

Your progression stays with you, from solo, to co-op and back through multiple playthroughs. And even your town upgrades go with you into New Game +. You will Unlock new Tier levels of difficulty every time you beat the maps end boss, and those higher Tiers are where the enemies are tougher but the rewards and XP are even greater.

There will be mining, fishing, animal catching, and other things to enjoy. And in Multiplayer you are not tied to your Host’s location, you are free to play your way, even in their game. You can be the team’s miner, searching for the best ores, and trade them to your friends for their precious GOLD!

Save the towns people and use gathered resources to help them rebuild to their former glory.
The Blacksmith, Armorer, Arcanist and Chef can level up as well, granting the ability to sell and craft better equipment

Centuries ago, a primal magic surged from the earth's depths, fueling empires but twisting it's inhabitant and the world into corruption's grasp. Forests blackened, skies bled shadow, and rivers turned to poison.

But a less prevalent radiant energy was also born, and hidden within pure warriors, the Luminaries. Armed with the light, their goal is to reclaim the land, hurling back the blight.

Yet the Luminary's gift is double-edged, immortality that tempts the soul. Every 80 years, Luminaries must yield their light to a successor, or risk eternal decay. Defiant ones hoard it, swelling into godlike tyrants of darkness, the Ebonarchs

As a new Luminary, rise in power. Shatter the Ebonarch's abyssal power source to strip their immortality, and strike them down. Together with your fellow Luminaries, push back the Darkness with Light.
