Monsters and Memories Update Showcases New Team Members and Concept Art | MMORPG.com

The old-school style indie title Monsters and Memories is making leaps and bounds of progress, as the developers release another update detailing what's to come.

Whoever is in charge for combat and making it so it doesn't feel like you're gliding everywhere, they need a new one of them. The game plays terribly right now, it feels like when you download a game engine and run around in default. There is just no feel to anything and it needs so much work! Even down to the way the UI works, or doesn't work as it does act how you'd expect it to. The skybox as well is obviously some default engine thing, at night it just looks like the Milky Way, some image pulled from Google Images.

Then there is just basic stuff like the lighting being terrible and that skybox isn't lighting anything up at night. Have you guys ever gone outside at night when it is clear like that? It is bright, the stars and the moon light everything up. Instead it's pitch black and all you see are torches that have some fire texture going at 1fps.

This is the one I'm personally looking forward to the most (just to leave some positivity here)

I love what the dev's are doing and planning, and more importantly their approach to development and testing. It's refreshing in the era of greedy devs/publishers charging as early as possible for access and as much as possible. These are just guys who love a specific example within the MMORPG genre, and are doing everything they can to build it. Yes EQ is still there, I recently returned for a TLP server after not playing for 22 years lol. EQ is still impressive when compared to most modern mmo's but there are lots of things they should update but likely can't due to it being 25-30 year old code. M&M on the other hand does need to fix some things but they're taking no money and make no bones about the fact this is an old school alpha/beta process. Sure thee are lots of things to fix and flesh out, but they're just starting and what is there both in regards to the dev team and game itself I am enjoying.

How can it compete with the real old school games that are better made and have 15+ expansions worth of content?

With that logic how can any game compete with any other game that has been out for years with 15+ expansions? It will compete by being a different world with different enemies etc etc.

Whether it can last is another thing.

Have you looked at M&M? It's literally EQ without the name. Races, classes, combat, everything right down to the light blue font for player names and all lowercase names for mobs.

It's the game you get when ex-EQ devs decide to make their own game then realize they can't make anything other than what they've already done for the last 20 years.

It seems like it’s literally “Dungeons and Dragons.”

If you mean EQ has dungeons and some dragons in it, then sure.

No, it literally is not anything like it.

They're trying hard for the aesthetic, but it isn't D&D any more than ICE Role Master is (not that it's trying to be).

To the point is has all the races of dungeons and dragons. And a good many of the classes though it does have shadow knight and I don’t recall that being a D&D class. That is an EverQuest class.

But I didn’t play EverQuest in its heyday so if people are going think it’s an EverQuest clone who am I to say otherwise.

Tried it with some friends a while back.   We found it horrible.
That said, love the idea.  So not following it close until it's going to release.  Then I'll give it another look and see if it clicks.

Ok, you have to be a proper rper if you have heard of "Rulesmaster".
