The sword that will pierce the heavens? Is that truly what you seek?
Description

Block Art Online is an upcoming Blockland RPG set across diverse fantasy realms. You are cast into a realm full of players alike and different. It is up to you to forge your own name and story. When the world doors were forced open, the world links joined and each world became connected. The fates of the worlds have become intertwined, as did your fate with the worlds. You determine why you are here, what is the meaning of your life? What is it you seek?

Block Art Online is a combat focused RPG. You will be able to learn and use skills and combos to fight in array of styles that you customize for yourself. A variety of worlds are open to exploration, each with its own unique theme. You will meet other characters and players alike, taking on impossible odds and forging your own destiny. Your interactions with other players shape how your story will unfold. The RPG isn't about preset roles. You aren't forced to pick a faction, you aren't forced to pick a class, you aren't forced into "good" or "evil". These things limit your potential and freedom to be the character you want to be.

Your actions shape the worlds around you. The story bends depending on the actions you decide on. There are two stories, the story I craft and the story you craft. Your story unfolds as you interact with other players. The main story unfolds as characters progress through the worlds and interact with the characters in them. You aren't going to be pretend fighting or god-moding your characters. The fights you participate in are real and the outcome shapes your character. There are no do overs and no player character gets "plot armor" over another.

Features

  • Action based combat system with swordskills, abilities, magic, passives, and playstyles that you create. Fight the way you want and find a balance that fits you.
  • Entirely scripted game. Flexible systems allow fast content updates and new features.
  • A Story that changes depending on how you interact with the world and eachother. You can chose who you want to aide and who you want to kill, and doing such can alter the story completely.
  • A variety of worlds each with their own theme and style. Visit cold wastelands and sky havens. Find scimitars of the desert and axes of the Norse. The worlds that you visit will offer different abilities, weapons, recipes, and rewards for visiting them. There is not limit to what you can find next, there is no permanent location or setting.
  • Characters you meet along your journey have their own story. Story characters will guide the main story onward depending on how you interact with them.
  • Open PVP and high risk. Pvp will be open and you will lose some items upon death. Group up with players or avoid them in order to thrive in the worlds. There will be safe zones such as spawns and inns so you can manage your items or check up on other things in peace.
  • A custom playertype allowing for more options and items to wear. You won't be limited to just the defaults!
  • Guilds and Guild Halls. You will be able to run your own guilds, create bonds, and wage war with others. Purchase land to construct a guild hall. Guild halls offers the ability for members to decorate and design their own space to their liking and own their own place in the world.
  • Dueling system- Participate in duels with other players where you determine the playing field. Duels are an honorable way to determine who is stronger. Duel options allow you to customize the victory conditions, stakes, and rules.
  • Crafting. You will be able to find and share recipes that you find throughout the world. You will be able to upgrade and attune weapons to fit your style. Forge the weapon that is right for you!
  • Rare resources allow you to craft exquisite items. These rare materials are guarded, and you won't be able to just grind and find them. Exploring the world and participating in events allows you to obtain these rare materials.
  • A robust events system allows for cinematic and unique experiences. This system allows for players to enter dungeons together and participate in world events, risking it all, reaping rewards or losing what is their own!
  • Dungeons with high risks and high rewards. Dungeons will be goals for players to participate in, and will have to rely on their skill to get through. Teaming up increases your chances of clearing the dungeon. The loot accumulates over time, as failure to clear a dungeon only results in you contributing to the loot pile!
  • Extensible mob system that works with the new Bot AI.
  • Variety of weapons to choose from. Swords, spears, axes, bows, magic, and foreign unique weapons waiting to be discovered. You will be able to attune and name your weapon, truly making it your own!

  • Dynamic Music System featuring a variety of tracks, many composed by myself.
  • Many more features still to come, and many not even listed!

The script is coming along great, but we lack a place to initiate it. Right now we lack active builders. The build is just not getting done fast enough. Even if you aren't a builder, we could always use your assistance! Content creators, Character writers, modelers, world designers, and graphic artists are just some of the unique people we would love to have assist us. Just let me know if you are interested!

Embarking on your own journey and joining in the tales of others is probably the biggest thing we could ask for! We look forward to you participating in this journey, and we thank you!

This seems pretty chill

This seems pretty chill
what?

Also, I love you for doing this.
Count me in for helping with builds/events anytime!

I can't do terrain though...


Would be cool, but take forever. 100 different builds for each floor, and when players killed the boss on the current floor, the next build would load.

Its only related by name and some references. The story and world is handcrafted by me.

Wow, I'm really really looking forward to this. But PLEASE don't make the brick level SO high or else this will be a mega lag-fest.

This sounds totally awesome. Can't wait to play, but I doubt I'd be of any use, contributionally.

i love how you added "Online" to it
but this will be loving AWESOME when it comes out :o

Is this what you were talking about on my rant topic?

Looks promising.


If you still need folks I'm definitely interested in helping with this. Add me on Steam?
