Welcome to our latest Community Spotlight which showcases a CRYENGINE-powered Japanese MMORPG from Resonance Gamez.

Set in the 1800s, this ambitious MMORPG will allow up to 50 players to join raids in a world of combat and magic. Players will join different factions and play different roles, from warriors to blacksmiths and even ship builders as they enter a large fantasy world featuring a deep economy, and in-depth customization and skill systems. All this comes from a core two man team, and we spoke to Qlaud Yoshida from Resonance Gamez about the project and why they chose CRYENGINE:

“We chose CRYENGINE because it was the most suitable engine to achieve an RPG with a realistic appearance. It creates a wonderful world because of its excellent, beautiful rendering! We get very good results thanks to the lighting system. The sophisticated Schematyc system helps to connect level and game designers with programmers and Wavicle is very good. It brings a lot of magic to our RPG efficiently. My current favorite function is the Particle Editor which will help us make plenty of unique magic! We are just two team members in Japan, but we also collaborate with Ivan Hawkes, a great programmer, and our wonderful level designer PianoPolish. We’ve also had a lot of help from the community. The aim is to first release it for Steam so players can log in at any time to explore beautiful levels with friends and then iterate and expand the RPG functionality step-by-step.”
