Dawn of Fantasy’s Assistant Producer and Lead Writer, Gordon Farrell, and Assistant Voice-Over Director, Arielle Parkas, return for Reverie World Studios’ third Developer Diary video. This time, the focus is the game’s premier mode, the “Online Kingdom,” where players are immersed in a persistent online environment as they seek to dominate the game world and complete dozens of complex story-based quests in one of three campaigns. Gordon and Arielle take players through building an epic stronghold from scratch, traveling the game world of Mythador by means of the 3D World Map, interacting with other towns and markets, waging war against enemy strongholds and traveling armies, and defending the homeland.

Reverie World Studios has announced a one-week-only holiday sale for all digital orders of their recently released subscription-free MMORTS, Dawn of Fantasy.

Here’s some info on the game as given by the devs:

Set in the persistent world of Mythador, Dawn of Fantasy offers you the chance to write your own chapter in the bloody history of this land. Explore a richly-detailed, endless world, from the high mountain peaks of Southmount in the human realm of Teria to the swamps of Erthee l’Bala of the Wood Elves. Complete dozens of story-driven quests in services of kings, wizards, and fellow adventurers. Interact with thousands of other players through trading, forging alliances, and waging war in both Player vs. Player and Player vs. Environment battles. Build up your villages into mighty empires, and lay siege to your enemies with great trebuchets, the brute strength of the walking woods, mighty ogres, and fire-breathing dragon mercenaries to reign supreme. Play as three different races – elves, men, and orcs, each of which offers a radically different playstyle and has been given a deep, compelling mythology, a dramatic historical background, and a spectrum of complex political ambitions that drive the story and gameplay.

Stay tuned for more coverage.

Dawn of Fantasy enables players to build up villages into towns and then mighty strongholds, to manage a thriving, persistent economy, and to lay siege to enemy armies and citadels with great trebuchets, the brute strength of the walking woods, and fire-breathing dragon mercenaries to reign supreme.

Here is the first developer diary for Dawn of Fantasy from 505 Games.  This is a pretty in depth game as it is an MMO combined with a Real-Time Strategy Game along with a massive and huge battles.  The full Press Release is below.

Los Angeles, CA – May 3, 2011 – 505 Games and Reverie World Studios have released a new developer diary that details the development of their upcoming MMORTS, Dawn of Fantasy. In the first dev diary, Lead Writer and Assistant Producer Gordon Farrell details the one of the game’s many modes, Stronghold Defense.

Stronghold Defense, the defensive counterpart of the Lay Siege skirmish mode, gives players the opportunity to practice defending a prebuilt stronghold in a quick-paced skirmish. Defensive players have an impressive array of tricks available to set up before the invading army reaches their walls; set up spike traps or plant man-eating plants outside your gate to destroy your attackers, position cavalry outside of your walls to trample enemy units, and construct ranged siege weapons and dozens of other wall-mounted siege defenses.

Be prepared to fight off ruthless attacks from the moment you spot the enemy on the horizon. Repair your damaged walls and buildings after every wave, and keep peasants nearby, ready to put out potentially-devastating fires caused by enflamed enemy arrows. The first wave is easy, the second… not so much. By the third, your king begs for mercy as the enemy breaks into the inner keep.

Dawn of Fantasy is proud to offer some of the most elaborate and bloodiest siege combat seen in the RTS genre to date – do you have what it takes? Stay tuned for more video diaries as Dawn of Fantasy nears completion!
