Woo hoo!

Alex found some old old notes from the very first days of Realm of the Mad God!

My new project is A Chronicle of Misdeeds. I'm working on it with the original Realm of the Mad God Team! We announced the game in November, and I did a little AMA on it then. Here's a quick list of what we've announced so far:

• It's a massively multiplayer game.
• It's 3D.
• The platform is PCs (and maybe Macs), not browser.
• Distribution is through Steam.
• The client is built in Unity.
  
• There are many playable classes, with more being released over time.
• There is permadeath. Probably. We think. Almost certainly. Yeah.
• Combat is crazy and chaotic but it isn't pew-pew style bullet hell.
• Camera is top-down.
• The art style is faceted lowpoly.
• It is free to play.
• It is not a RotMG clone, or RotMG sequel. It's a completely new thing.

He's the short, shifty creator of caustic potions and destructive chemicals. He's like an alchemist—but from hell! Another playable character from A Chronicle of Misdeeds, a new MMO I'm working on.

This dangerous blue gentleman is a playable character in A Chronicle of Misdeeds, the new MMO project that I'm working on with Alex Carobus and Amit Patel, the original team behind Realm of the Mad God.

The Grid12 project has ended, but something new is cooking. I'm starting a new company with Alex Carobus and Amit Patel, my old partners from the Realm of the Mad God days. We've been testing and trying a bunch of ideas since last September, and we've got an idea for a new project we're super excited about!

TOP SECRET -- EYES ONLY

USCYBERCOM Grid12 Tank Pilot Orientation

Over the last two builds we've added a couple of cool new squadron features: the speedrun and squadron HQs. The speedrun lets up to five members of squadron cooperate to clear a dungeon in the shortest amount of time. The top ten times are listed in the leaderboards. Eventually we'd like to have a new speedrun map each week and give prizes.

Squadron HQs debuted in yesterday's build 105. Each squadron has an HQ, which is initially a 3x3 grid of tiles. But squads can expand their HQ by putting down new tiles.

A squadron can get new tiles when a member uses an HQ Tile item. These items drop from certain fortresses but they can also be crafted from a level 2 Omnium. All the new tiles look the same at the moment, but we plan to add support for new colors and shapes eventually. Next build we plan to allow squadrons to remove and reposition tiles. We'd also like to give out special tiles as a reward for winning the speedrun.
