Hey everyone!
My name is James, I'm a 25 year old programmer from the US, and I've been developing various styles of MMORPG's for quite some time now. I'm new to the Itch.io community and wanted to share my latest project with you all that I hope to finally release in the very near future. Land of Heroes, a 2d browser and mobile MMORPG!
I have been actively developing and brainstorming this project for over 4 years now. In 2015 I came up with the idea that I would finally create my first true MMORPG. I had been using various game engines to create games in the past, however, I knew that the only way to make a great game is to create your own from the bottom up. After a few failed projects, I am finally nearing the point of having a fully playable game with an enjoyable gameplay experience. Enough of the background, let's talk about the goals of Land of Heroes.
Land of Heroes is a world of adventure, with many places to explore, dungeons to delve, and towns to visit (or overrun). With a player driven economy, open world combat, gathering, crafting, and randomly generated stats for every item, your adventure is truly limitless. What will you make of yourself? Will you be an outlaw, taking over whole villages for your own profit? Or maybe a bandit, killing unsuspecting victims, cutting down trees to make a small bit of gold for their equipment. Or will you be a defender of all that is good? This may give you a small hint of the type gameplay you can expect from Land of Heroes upon the full release!
