Welcome

Welcome to the developer journal for Inspire!

What is Inspire?

Inspire is a 3D, side scrolling platformer action MMO-Lite, which focuses on casual and simple gameplay. It invites everyone to play together and facilitates this with no levels, and no classes. Inspire uses a freeform feat choice system which the player can tailor to the situation and preference. The majority of items are crafted from resources collected throughout the game. The economy is based on the trade of tangible currency and items. Participate in repelling invading monsters, or seek out and raid their leaders. Capture locations and build defensible positions.

Backstory?

Demons overran the continents of the world. The remenants of the human kingdoms, helped by the divine Phoenix, escaped to airborne structures floating in the clouds above. The demons made portals to invade the humans’ new home. Join with other warriors to repel the invasion, collect resources to craft mighty weapons and armour. Collect the ancient relics to restore your immortal king to his former glory.

Cliched? Definately, but the game doesn’t take itself seriously, which is a good thing.
