    Yes!!! I’m so excited to see Andrew Gower finally is going to be launching his secret big game on this new engine he built!

    I have a feeling this is going to be a really cool game!

    For those that don’t know, Andrew Gower sold his shares in Jagex back in ~2010 and started a research company. That research company was to come up with a new game engine and accompanying programming language to make it easy to build multiplayer games. They released a smaller game and up until this point we knew there was a big game coming built on this tech but it was only speculation what that would actually be.

    It looks like he did what I was hoping he would and made a nearly direct competitor with his previous work, RuneScape. It will be very interesting to see how this affects RuneScape and how this game itself plays.

    EDIT: So excited I made a community !brightershores@lemmy.world

      I’m hopeful it will be great! Andrew’s design decision and humor definitely made early runescape so great, I hope we see that carry over into brighter shores!
