The Kickstarter campaign for Eldramoor: Haven in the Mist has come to an end, nabbing developer Resolute Games over $170,000 to bring its ambitious VR MMORPG to life.
The one-month campaign celebrated early success when it launched on June 24th, quickly garnering the project its minimum funding goal of $25,000 in just 1.5 hours of going live.
Within only a week, the Kickstarter crossed the $100,000 mark, going on to unlock a number of stretch goals along its way to $171,536: a bonfire healing system, more air and earth abilities, two new playable species, guest access to player housing, and pet abilities.
I am cautiously optimistic about this. I think MMOs could in theory really shine in vr, though so far they haven’t been all that great, often relying on old and tired tropes.
A meadow with mobs evenly distributed that have a sight range of a few meters is something that I have a much harder time immersing myself into in vr.
