Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?
Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
An entire genre niche hinges on this projects success.
Like this fails and the whole afrofuture/fantasy thing just mike get derailed. Which would suck.
I'm barely able to cope making a black male in mmo's as is. Women are usually easy but like black guys have two hair choices and both are afro's or maybe some corn rows.
Now what about single player games...haha..oh man...these dudes have no pressure at all. It's super casual haha..(I'd be afraid of the failure).
It was not based on a table top RPG, the team decided to create one using 5e DnD rules. You can get a copy of the free book here:

The fact they decided to do this says a lot, tip my adventurers helm to them. But I always prefer the RPG to come before the MMO. We have seen RPG's based on MMOs like WoW's, they are not that good. Still, we don't get to say "and the MMO team are releasing a RPG during development" a lot do we?
I have been following this one (in my usual 'its not out yet so skim it' approach) for some time, the speed of it getting to alpha does raise a question mark. But these days what does alpha even mean, alpha one might be very basic; some of those roadmaps I have seen for other MMOs might as well have ten alphas.
Not if this fails, it will fail. Much, much, much better games than this have failed, this one isn't just DOA it was dead on concept.
No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.
In real software development terms, alpha has a real meaning. It means all the code is done, and they are now testing it all together for the first time. It isn't expected to work very well. Alpha testing is short, and bugs are fixed and beta testing begins. That is also short.
Today's gaming developers have made the term "alpha" meaningless. Some games claim to be in alpha even while the design is being done. If they have anything that wiggles, they call it alpha. Or they claim they are in alpha perpetually, for years.

It also depends tremendously on how much work they did before the public announcement. You can go from announcement to full launch in a few days if you put in several years of work before announcing that your project exists.
personally they lost me with D&D rules and no elves, dwarves or gnomes..
its high fantasy for me.. or nothing lol.
A game based in a particular part of the world and in an era before it was common for people to travel thousands of miles could readily have all of the characters in the game of the same race, at least for the big racial buckets that people use today.
That's not a statement about race. It's just a statement about the setting of the game. In A Tale in the Desert, all of the characters are nominally Egyptian. In Tree of Savior, all of the human characters are nominally Lithuanian (or at least Romuva). In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they're all Chinese. That's just the background setting for the game, and the companies managed to make their games just fine without creating a big fuss about race.
That doesn't mean that the game will be good or bad. At this point, we really don't know.
There could be some awesome stuff there, I've just never had any exposure to it.
Since I've had tons of exposure to Asian games over the years I know quite a bit about that lore. It doesn't make those games "racist" because it hinges on those cultures.
I dont know if this game will be for me, playability wise, but I'm happy to see a new setting finally.
this game will likely fail miserably simple because its not high fantasy and when it does then well see whose fault it is.
i like high fantasy for a reason.
