WorldShards at GDC

GDC2023 is well and truly underway and we’re having a blast! What’s more, Thursday 23 (yesterday) was the first day that we were able to showcase the game at the event and get to know what people thought of the game.

WorldShards at GDC

One of the best parts of an event like the GDC is the first-hand reactions that we can get to the game. Sometimes people just want to hear about the game’s concept, so throughout the event, Artyom, our Game Designer, has perfected describing the game.

To us, WorldShards is a cross of Animal Crossing and Albion online with a lot of resources to gather and loot to craft. The game lets you play in many different ways, whether you want to take on a stealthy route and sneak by everyone, aggressively kill and destroy hostile creatures, or even take the peaceful route, build a reputation with the creatures and thus gain the ability to travel through the islands unscathed. Our main focus is on player immersion, we want to give out players a chance to properly express themselves when playing, and feel really comfortable while doing so!

Other times, people want to have a more hands-on experience. After all, nothing beats actually playing the game.

So far, we’ve seen a lot of people having fun playing the game and we’ve had some great conversations with both gamers and developers (this is the Game Developers Conference after all). Right now we’re looking forward to what the final day (Friday 24th) will bring us!
