Brighter Shores on Steam
store.steampowered.com
Brighter Shores is an all new adventure from award winning MMORPG designer Andrew Gower. It is an enchanting point-and-click style RPG with hundreds of hours of gameplay, set in a land of magic and mysteries, with a huge number of professions to try, and something new to find around every corner.

I mean, when I saw an ex-Jagex employee making a new MMO I thought it was going to be slightly inspired by RuneScape… But this game looks exactly like RuneScape, and the description of the gameplay also matches it perfectly - this is essentially RuneScape 3 but managed by someone else (and with a much newer engine)

    Looks more restrictive even, why can I only see 20 tiles at a time? MMORPG is a hard genre to break into and I don’t think just slapping his name on this one is going to attract much of a crowd when they are all busy with OSRS already.

      The gower brothers have not been part of Jagex for about 10 years, but are all involved in the development of this game IIRC

      Edit: I was slightly worried too but it looks like the handful of tiles is more of a fog of war/view distance type thing. These two screenshots seem to show it the clearest

        I am well aware, but it doesnt change my opinion. Looks more suited to be an RPG than an MMO.

        Looks like they are trying to attract the mobile audience, but they are too late for that aswell.
