How we doing over here? Is this platform going places?

We announced our studio today and we are doing an AMA next week! fantasticpixelcastle.com

The ones that do typically let you downlevel / uplevel (which has issues) or gives you different content to play with different players (complex but maybe better)

Depends on the goal ultimately. If the goal is to play with friends (like our game) then you need solutions for both. Many games don't have that goal.

It's fine to play all by yourself - sometimes we just don't have the energy to play with others. But this is a multiplayer game at its core and all the systems reflect that.

But above all, we think MMOs are about other players. If you are looking for a completely single player experience, there are great games out there that do that. (Try HZD or FF16!)

When I say we are making an MMO or something MMO-like, that's because folks have different definitions of what MMO means and I don't want to set up any disappointing expectations

Sigh. Here we go again.
