WEBVTT -- English 00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:05.000 Hello Kickstarter! We are Polished Games and we present to you: Realms of Magic. 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:18.300 Realms of Magic is a 2D sandbox roleplaying game set in a classic western fantasy universe. 00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:25.399 The main idea behind the game is to let the player create his own character and allow him to do anything he could possibly desire in a fantasy world. 00:00:25.699 --> 00:00:31.899 Our goal is creating the ultimate sandbox RPG experience and we believe we have the perfect recipe. 00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:34.799 Let's start with the main ingredient: roleplaying. 00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:38.799 For us there are two main aspects of roleplaying games. 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:44.200 First one is character development, second one is interesting setting and story. 00:00:44.899 --> 00:00:47.299 You start with creating and customizing your character. 00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:52.299 You can choose from one of the seven races, all with different backgrounds, traits and special abilities. 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.799 Choosing your race will deeply impact how your character is perceived and treated by other people. 00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:03.299 Instead of sticking with a traditional class system we decided to use a skill based system, pretty much like in the Elder Scrolls series. 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:13.299 You can develop your character by improving different skills like melee and ranged weapons, three armor types, over ten magic schools and other skills such as mobility or sneaking. 00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:17.900 Every tree contains dozens of perks so even two fire mages are not the same. 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:22.900 Realms of Magic is set in a Tolkien-like classic western fantasy universe. 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:31.799 We used many other great universes for inspiration, most notably D&D's Forgotten Realms, Elder Scrolls and Warcraft. 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.400 We have everything you could expect from this kind of setting: 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:42.400 orcs, dwarves, elves, undead, dragons, mighty heroes, ancient dungeons and powerful artifacts. 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.200 We are also trying to create the world as real as possible. 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:48.400 Why are there monsters in this dungeon? 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.900 Why are these two factions fighting each other? 00:01:51.299 --> 00:01:55.200 Good example of realistic universe is the one in Game of Thrones. 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.599 The second ingredient is sandbox. 00:01:57.700 --> 00:02:03.000 We want to combine freedom and creativity of games like Minecraft and Terraria with roleplaying in mind. 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:10.599 The entire world in our game consists of blocks which can be placed and destroyed, allowing to freely modify the environment to your needs. 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:15.900 You can build your own house, town or castle, construct traps and fortifications. 00:02:16.099 --> 00:02:24.500 Since our game is a 2D sidescroller, we are adding twitch based combat and movement from platform games like Metroid and Castlevania. 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:32.500 Navigate through jumping puzzles in dungeons, dodge traps and enemy attacks, position yourself and time your attacks precisely. 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:40.500 The final core element of our mixture is city building and management inspired by games such as Dwarf Fortress and Craft the World. 00:02:40.699 --> 00:02:43.400 Very often when I played RPGs I thought: 00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:48.300 Wouldn't it be cool if I could kill this important NPC and take over the town he is ruling? 00:02:48.699 --> 00:02:49.900 Well, now you can! 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.199 You can order your NPCs to do things you prefer not to. 00:02:56.500 --> 00:03:02.000 For example, you can hire miners to collect ores for you or hire guards to protect your settlement. 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.400 Our game also includes features which belong to more than one genre. 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:07.699 First one is crafting. 00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:12.800 Crafting in Realms of Magic is tied to professions such as blacksmithing, alchemy or cooking. 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:18.300 There are also more passive professions like mining or woodcutting, which increase speed of collecting materials. 00:03:18.699 --> 00:03:20.800 We have around 20 different professions. 00:03:21.099 --> 00:03:23.099 The second feature are boss fights. 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.900 Bosses are the ultimate challenge in our game. 00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:31.400 We believe that when a game ceases to have a lose scenario, it ceases to be a game. 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.000 Our boss fights and mechanics are strongly inspired by games such as World of Warcraft or Dark Souls. 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.800 Why have we decided to go with 2D instead of the more popular 3D? 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:50.800 The answer is 2D content is much faster to produce, which means we can implement many more features, items, weapons, armors and monsters. 00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:57.099 Currently we have created over one thousand items and we are aiming for at least three times that much at release. 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.500 Second reason is that 2D games are simply much easier to mod. 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.400 Why Kickstarter? 00:04:03.500 --> 00:04:06.800 First of all, we need money to finish and polish our game. 00:04:07.500 --> 00:04:15.000 We need to hire a sound effect artist and we want a top world level composer to create several hours of soundtrack. 00:04:15.099 --> 00:04:20.000 The second reason for Kickstarter is to involve you in the process of creating Realms of Magic. 00:04:20.100 --> 00:04:21.899 We are very open about our game. 00:04:22.100 --> 00:04:26.699 We want to discuss our ideas with you and hear your suggestions and feedback. 00:04:26.899 --> 00:04:30.899 We also want you to take an even more active part in this process. 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:39.000 Shortly after Kickstarter we will release World Builder, editor that lets you build houses, cities, dungeons, everything you can think of. 00:04:39.300 --> 00:04:44.800 We will put the best creations in our game and use some of them as templates in the world generator. 00:04:45.699 --> 00:04:47.899 Finally, we want you to mod this game. 00:04:48.699 --> 00:04:51.899 Realms of Magic was built from the ground up with modding in mind. 00:04:52.699 --> 00:04:56.899 We will release tool called Modder, program that we use for implementing content. 00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.800 Also every mod is server side. 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.100 That means that you don't have to mess with installing and configuring mods. 00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:10.500 Just join an already modded server and our game will automatically download and install required mods. 00:05:26.100 --> 00:05:27.100 That's all we had to say. 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:28.399 Thank you for watching this video. 00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:31.300 Please consider pledging or telling your friends about us.
