I guess it's been something like 20 years, but 2024 was a game-changing year for the MMORPG market. And I'm really excited that, once again, I can find myself excited to jump into a new, immersive game built with heart and passion that understands what fantasy nerds want.
A little bit about myself, I'm a software engineer & creative director. I'm an American and Peruvian national, having lived across the U.S., Mexico, and South Korea. These past years I have been on a sabbatical. I've traveled all around South America, Asia, and Europe in the past year and a half learning about myself and different perspectives. Lately, I'm spending a lot of my time building, working on a personal passion project of mine that I hope will, that I hope can bring strength and peace to people that use it.
Now, while we're all here, Ashes of Creation... I've been looking in on development for a while now. I've tried to keep some distance because I've been a part of a game's development that had some similarities to this game. That game was called EverQuest Next. It was an MMORPG with a lot of promise, and in the end, it burned us all by dissolving into nothing. So, for a long time, I wasn't sure if Ashes of Creation was going to follow the same path, butI can say confidently now that Ashes of Creation has come much farther than EverQuest Next ever did. And while I think it's important that we all acknowledge the complexity of game development, the complexity of this project, and the cost, both financially and mentally, that it takes to execute something of this quality and magnitude, at this point, I feel like I can take one step closer towards allowing myself to trust in what I'm seeing.
So, in the end, this is a hello to my new friends and family, and also a support post. I want to shout out Intrepid for being brave enough to make a game that has a heart. And for communicating openly, honestly, and transparently in a world that thrives off of destruction. This team and this product feel like more than just a good game, but a chance for people who believe in integrity and passion to fuel their fire and create more things in their life with the same spirit. I also want to thank other studios like Larian, which recently released Baldur's Gate 3, and whoever the hell green lit World of Warcraft Vanilla hardcore mode, because we are seeing this sort of old-school gamer mentality rising across the RPG and MMO space.
You guys will see me posting here quite a bit, I happen to have a lot of opinions about games, especially MMORPGs. This is also a friendly advisory that I have a lot of passionate opinions. I believe that we all have a voice, that we should all use our voice to express what we think and believe, in a respectful and collaborative manner. And because of what I've seen so far from Intrepid, I think that my passion for building worlds and building systems with integrity can be helpful in guiding this game into a place where both Intrepid and its players can find great success!
See you guys in game and across the boards. Feel free to friend request me.
