Empire lore#1125

In the cutscenes narrated by the Submarine Captain there are hints at a wider world beyond Adrenos and the gameplay island. An entire Empire in the same steampunk design. But it’s never explored, instead the game focuses solely on the single island.

I would like to see more of the Empire.

Agreed. I always thought that some lore on the Volc universe would be awesome. But honestly, I’d rather have them work on the actual game’s story first before starting to think about global world-building, lol

I’m also not quite sure how they’d bring it to the game - we don’t really care about the global world. We’re on this one island with this one problem, I can’t see much reasons for us to find or learn anything beyond these shores. Maybe if #43 happens, some notes could talk about trade or facilities offshores, but not much more.

Thank you.

As a writer, I’m used to having it happen the other way around, with a backstory being established before the “meat” of the content.

Volc the next new mmo

To Rocky - that’s not necessary…. But I gotta admit having Volcanoids as an MMO would be pretty amazing.

To Fire Dragon - I just had an idea about the lore.

Even if it’s not brought to the game, stuff could still be looked at through the game’s website. Lore blog posts by the Captain or an “Imperial Historian”.

I’m surely not opposed to lore in any way shape or form, but having it outside of the game feels weird to me. But I guess the website is indeed the closest thing if they feel like having lore without knowing where to put it.

Yeah, at least until they find a place to actually put it.

If the developers want, I could do some lore writing. I have experience with it - I mentioned I was a writer.

Mostly my writings are fanfiction and crossovers however, though I do have some original pieces.

I can send samples if the developers would like some - they’re published on my dA.

The problem with making stuff like a website for lore,it cost money. I think even $5. Would be better spent on a new tram mber not a site most would never see to tell a story that many dont care.

Also since the game is constantly changing and a large part of the game is not out ueat i think loer is to soon, more groundwork is needed otherwise your going to get a forest issue where the noted and books found dont make since as the lore keeps changing as the game updates.

They already have a website.

And yes, good thing we’re not demanding lore to be added right this instant to the game. I totally agree, gameplay should be worked on first, especially since the game is still far from having completed everything that’s planned.
