Got this from the Stormcloud newsletter and thought some of you might be interested.
'The Arcadia Project' is going live! This project is basically the very first community supported, community development-assisted and funded PC game project ever done, on a level never before attempted. We'll be starting from the GROUND UP. You can help me name the game, add and tweak features, submit stories and ideas, and vote in polls for new features, all on our special members only forum.
We'll even have a special page for pre-order members ONLY that will allow you to download micro-builds of the game, as its being created!
The game itself: You can recruit adventurers, view detailed stats on their abilities, age, birthday, height, weight, everything. Build a camp of 6 adventurers, and put together parties of 4 and send them on dangerous quests to many realms, in search of riches. They can get hurt, killed, possessed, or a host of other things, and you may be offered choices in the story according to what happens on their quest. You must sign them to contracts (called 'pacts') to keep them working for you, all the while keeping yourself in the black financially. The game is intended to be a "Championship Manager" combined with a RPG sensibility, complete with adventurer 'personalites' that emerge over time. Sharp, crisp and unique graphics/interface and music are planned to be included as well.
Pre-order for $16.95 and you get to participate in the build process, and get the final version of the game once it is released.
