Spinning gamesa developer of Web3 games, has the first gameplay footage of his new title. The game, Skyborne Legacy, is a decentralized MMORPG by a team of experienced developers. Last month the team assured $13.2 million in funding by Dan Houser, known for Rockstar, Pantera Capital, Animoca Brands, Polygon, Dapper Labs and others.
“We’re thrilled to be showing an early sneak peek into Skyborne Legacy’s world and gameplay,” Christopher Arrington, game director for Skyborne Legacy, said in a press release. “A lot of passion and effort has gone into creating the game’s vision and look and feel, and the team is excited to integrate Web3 technology and ethos into our game development processes. We are excited to share this first build with the community as we continue to hone Skyborne Legacy.”
Inspired by Animal Crossing and The Legend of Zelda, Skyborne Legacy is based on exploration and trading in the social world. Along with the new gameplay trailer, the group has released its roadmap for future development. Recently, the game opened for a preview for players who joined the game’s Discord server in its first week.
“As an evolving world based on a player-controlled economy and active participation, Skyborne Legacy is not a ‘one time’ game whose active development stops after release; this is just the beginning,” said Di Dan, Design Director for Skyborne Legacy, in a press release. “We will continue to develop and expand the in-game universe with new content over the coming months and years, and our roadmap fully reflects that.”
Spinning games host an AMA (Ask Me Anything) stream on Twitch for players. During the stream, players can ask questions to the development team, view the game and take a look at the process.
“We are fortunate to partner with game veterans and leaders in their respective fields,” said Shayan Zaeem, President of Worldwide Studios at Revolving Games. “With such talent and support across the board, the sky is the limit when it comes to revolutionizing the traditional gaming scene, and we are fully committed to doing just that.”
