Having a team of only two people working on a Flash-based MMO of this caliber, finding the time to work on all of the different aspects of the game is a daily challenge. You may have noticed the blog suffering a bit over the last few months, as we’ve been focusing all of our attention on Remnants of Skystone’s approaching “Alpha” phase.  In this upcoming alpha phase, the game will be released in partial form to a small group of testers, which will help us get a handle on people’s overall reaction and interaction with the game.  While we’ve been quiet on the blog for a while, here’s what we’ve been up to in Skystone:

The first world of the game is built, which has 10 distinct missions, two bosses, three unique environments, and a plethora of Mimics to encounter.  Progress-based mechanics including player stats, experience points, leveling, and Etherillium tubes are all working, as well as food items for on-the-spot health restoration.  We’re currently fine-tuning the Co-op aspect of the game that we are calling Trailblazing, which we’ll go into more detail about later on.

We’re not quite ready for user testing yet, but in the meantime we have some new screens posted in the slideshow below.
