Brighter Shores is an all new adventure from award winning MMORPG designer Andrew Gower. It is an enchanting point-and-click style RPG with hundreds of hours of gameplay, set in a land of magic and mysteries, with a huge number of professions to try, and something new to find around every corner.
Yes!!!! I'm so excited to see Andrew Gower finally is going to be launching his secret big game on this new engine he built!
I have a feeling this is going to be a really cool game!
For those that don't know, Andrew Gower sold his shares in Jagex back in ~2010 and started a research company. That research company was to come up with a new game engine and accompanying programming language to make it easy to build multiplayer games. They released a smaller game and up until this point we knew there was a big game coming built on this tech but it was only speculation what that would actually be.
It looks like he did what I was hoping he would and made a nearly direct competitor with his previous work, RuneScape. It will be very interesting to see how this affects RuneScape and how this game itself plays.
I'm hopeful it will be great! Andrew's design decision and humor definitely made early runescape so great, I hope we see that carry over into brighter shores!
