Having welcomed over 245 million adventurers to the game world, the arrival of NXT is a landmark evolution for RuneScape as it celebrates its 15 th anniversary. rs 07 gold Since Chronicle’s inception, we’ve been committed to iterative, agile development. Now, as we prepare for Chronicle entering closed beta next month, we’re incredibly excited to open the game up to more RuneScape fans and those looking for something new to join us in creating something special,” said Sweatman. “In taking the game to the next stage, and welcoming input from a much wider audience, we believe we can create a surprising and genuinely unique experience for all gamers.
Block N Load’s unique set up aims to create an experience that “demolishes preconceptions of first-person shooters.” The game is in development for PC and will launch through Steam in 2015. When March rolls around the Chronicle you once knew will be even greater than before. On top of the infrastructure changes we’re bringing some massive new additions to the game. These features will add more gameplay, modes, progression, customisation and Legends to Chronicle! However, NXT is more than just an impressive graphical overhaul: NXT’s release marks a significant milestone as it transitions the game from being a legacy Java-based title to a modern, future-proof MMO.
The arrival of NXT is just the start of a process to further enhance the game’s visuals; continuing NXT development will also see the introduction of normal maps, higher-resolution textures, volumetric lighting and an improved animation system. Said Phil Mansell, vice president of RuneScape at Jagex Games Studio: The new NXT game client is another big step forward for RuneScape. The development team have done a fantastic job engineering a new client that brings significant improvements to visuals and whilst also making it run much faster. Admittedly, the whole card game thing is pretty new to me.
With the exception of EverQuest II’s Legends of Norrath, which I log into simply to open packs and get in-game loot, I’ve had nothing to do with the whole genre until very recently. Now that I have dabbled in and enjoy the game I play, I had no interest or reason to check out any others. Then I saw Chronicle. The very first time I set eyes on Chronicle: RuneScape Legends, my interest was piqued because you do not play on flat screen surface like cards on a table; you play on a three-dimensional game board on a 3-D table! If you have ever used miniatures and hex maps in tabletop gaming, you will be able to easily envision the set up, except that Chronicle has much more elaborate environments than I’ve ever used.
It also brought to mind the board game Talisman. There’s a reason for that: When I asked, devs admitted to playing it, and the actual development of the system was first done using paper pieces laid out on a runescape gold board — just as in Talisman. A beta for the game will begin in December, and you can register now at the Block N Load website. We’ve been building Block N Load for a while now, and we’re immensely excited by how the game is shaping up. Block N Load represents a true departure from the type of games that Jagex is known for; it’s not browser-based, it’s not free-to-play, and it’s not an MMO,” Block N Load VP David Solari said in a statement.
