It’s looks like a cat mixed with a human
Cyronical, i got question, compared to deepwoken, is AO better or worse, and why. Try to be unbiased, which ik is hard since ur a tester for AO
because neco-arc would be AMAZING in AO. if you dont agree with me, you dont know ANYTHING about game design!!!

I like WoM, but not THAT much, deepwoken isnt based on exploration and story like the arcane series, its based on harsh environments with unexpected outcomes with continuous development.

NOOOOOO 
Also, in WoM you had to gain 25 levels before gaining one skill, and and in total u get only what, 4? in deepwoklen theres diff skills for each attunement and more bosses, more npcs to fight, more islands, and more “mysterious lore”.
Of course, WoM was an rushed early version of a game that never really saw the light of day before being revamped.

yea the diversity of skills is definitely deepwokens strongest point but having to redo the same parts of the game repeatedly is annoying and time consuming + the combat sux mega balls
Some of the npcs n bosses are nice but most are just crappy and annoying

Thats not necessarily an excuse tho? Vetex had 2 years to develop WoM and couldve chose to get some contributors to help with his game in exchange for some small amounts of robux or just credits in the desc or whatev. But Vetex INSISTED on deving WoM himself, with the complexity of developing nowadays and the simplicity of deving back in AA days, making a quality, good amount of content game is almost impossible solo. Deepwoken took 2 years, but with 2 other devs, some contributors, it is the most successful current mmorpg, and has 6k players all day. THOSE PEOPLE MADE 4-5 MILLION+!??. I dont understand why vetex is so persistent on working alone, it sounds almost, aroggant to me? YOU make more bread, have a more successful game, and still get most of the credit? Everyone ive talked to is supporting a dev team but its j vetex who wants to work alone

agree to disagree i guess ive played the crap out of deepwoken but like
there really arent that many things i like about it
Most of these are irrelevant points, this is simply because its a soul/hardcore game, which i understand, people HATE backwards progression. However, if you like hardcore progression, these are all pros.
Thing is, hiring a dev team means that they’re going to be actively trying to lean the game towards something that they like. Vetex is the developer, and he has all the right to develop the game by himself, within his comfort zone. Also cool essay

This is exactly the wrong mindset, the point of a dev team is to brainstorm ideas and work together towards a better version of whatever theyre working on. Inevitably, vetex’s ideas will have flaws, having another skilled developer cna help solve those flaws from a different pov.
Of course, i never said he HAS to do have a dev team to develop a good game. But think abt it. Most of his community is aging 12-16 right? Its been 2 years, some are starting highschool, some are going into college. Vetex has and will lose a lot of the major support. However, this is not a strong argument on my part.
There are more pros than cons on a dev team. I assume most will support him even more with a dev team
thanks

It seems Vetex is achieving what he wants to do by himself, without a team (He’s been doing it his whole career). My original point is that WoM was a very early stage of a game and is very difficult to compare with a much more fleshed out game, and I never said there was nothing that could be done to increase development speed, though hiring more devs could still violate the way Vetex wants to do things. It’s not always about how fast a game should be developed, it’s about doing it the way you want and bringing your own vision to life.

ive played games that do backwards progression way better than deepwoken
and the other 2 points have nothing to do with wiping theyre completely seperate
