Description
About This Game
Inspired by the social MMOs of the early 2000s, Frontiers Reborn is a massively multiplayer roleplaying game where social interaction and collaboration come first. Join hundreds of other players to live out a small but meaningful role in an immersive world - a sandbox for you to explore and call home.
Feel free to Wishlist the game and visit our Discord. We hold regular playtests - and being made by a solo dev, I greatly appreciate any feedback you can give!
In addition to 21 unique crafting disciplines and combat specializations. The game focuses on letting you pick a niche and roleplay a story regardless of how small or grand it might be. Sometimes the tale of a barmaid sweating to find the right combination of dishes to serve the local nobility is as gripping as delving into a dungeon.
No two ingredients are the same. The strawberries you collect in the highlands may fit the same crafting recipes as the ones you find by the beach, but they will have different properties that impact your crafting outcomes. Each item has a unique "DNA", a score across 12 properties that is imprinted when the item is first harvested. When you then use your iron ore or wolf meat in a recipe, the properties get combined and propagate into your outcome items. This makes crafting a core part of the game world, not an afterthought. As with all the other systems, it's designed to be easy to pick up, but requires and rewards careful planning to produce the best of the best.
Politicians set taxes and invest into city-wide upgrades, tavern owners source dishes from chefs and with the help of servers entertain the patrons, healers diagnose ailments and carry out surgeries to avoid life-threatening conditions, citizens purchase property and have architects design houses that the decorators then furnish. This lets you come together as a community, make meaningful friendships and see the cities you join grow through several tiers, unlocking new features and areas to explore.
As someone who loves roleplay and social games, I am building a game I'd love to one day play myself - a place where people can meet, have fun, work on things together and make memories you'll remember. Early in 2010s, I started modding and creating Minecraft and Starbound servers, and with the help of other volunteers, we created one of the most ambitious, roleplay-first communities out there. Around 2018, I decided to expand on the ideas and try to make them into a stand-alone game. This lets me implement experimental features quickly, and integrate rich social systems that would be difficult to mod into existing frameworks.
