Swords 'N Magic And Stuff Is A New Cute And Casual MMORPG, Now On Kickstarter
If cute and casual chibi-like games are your cup of tea, then you might want to watch out for Swords ‘N Magic and Stuff. Whew, that title’s really going to mess up our tags. The upcoming sandbox MMORPG comes from an American two-man independent development studio called Kindred Games. The game is now on Kickstarter and, as of this writing, has received over $26,000 worth of pledges, surpassing their $22,000 funding goal in less than a week.
“Explore a large, densely populated open world alone or with friends. Swords 'n Magic is a casual journey of discovery. You play a blank slate adventurer just waiting for you to carve out a destiny for them. With no classes, levels or restrictions, you can be whoever you want to be, use whatever weapons and items you can buy, loot or craft, and play however you wish. You can seek out epic adventures laden with legendary treasure or enjoy the simple life of owning a small farm, crafting furniture for your home or even just traveling the world as a simple merchant. In Swords 'n Magic and Stuff you play at your own pace with no hand-holding.”
The game has been in development for over two years and is the brainchild of a stay-at-home “dev dad” Michael Kocha with the help of a programmer. “The game is being developed with my wife and daughter in mind,” says Kocha. “We'd searched for years for a game like Swords 'n Magic and finally I just decided that I'd have to take matters into my own hands.” The game features casual and relaxed gameplay with a multiplayer option that lets players host their own servers and go on adventures with other players without having to create a new character.
The funding from Kickstarter will not only help fund the game’s development but will also help food on the Kocha family’s table while he, and his wife who had just been forced to leave her job, work on the game full time.
