'The Skies' Announced, Seeks Crowd Funding - Screens & Trailer

The Skies is a post-apocalyptic MMORPG, inspired by the sci-fi novel Skies, featuring a rich 3D world where players explore vast regions and cities, passing quests, trading resources and engaging in battle for power.

Designed in Unity3D, The Skies is centered on a real-time evolving experience in which each player’s action causes a change in the world, including relationships with characters, factions and other events. Players engage in battle across the mountains in the West and the desert in the East as well as cities in the North and South. According to the legend, the great city “Skies” is mankind’s last hope for survival. Unique to The Skies is a multi-level economy system and a multi-tiered resource production system that depend on the player actions in game, a non-linear storyline where players can combine online games and a single pass, and a world that evolves and scales over time.

Ukraine based developer Eforb Games has launched a $350,000 kickstarter campaign, which will run through December 23, 2014, to fund core development efforts, with stretch goals including expansions of The Skies franchise to mobile and console platforms including iOS, Android, PlayStation, and Xbox.

Backers of the Kickstarter campaign can receive a number of rewards, including:

  • Full 3D model of the backer in-game as a player or NPC
  • Autographed collectors edition box of The Skies game
  • Additional mini quests in-game named after the backer
  • Exclusive early access to the site forums
  • And much more…

Key Features

  • Huge gameworld - 8 square kilometers at start. It is full of mystery places. Post apocalyptic atmosphere achieved with the help of amazing art, 3D models and animations won’t leave cold anybody. 
  • A complicated multi-level economic system which entirely depends on players' actions. In this world production and profit-making is totally different from the threadbare games players are used to, these systems are more convenient for a player and at the same time they make the game world richer and more captivating. Do you want to get resources or produce materials? Manage your own business or work at the factory? You can start your own production, hire people and manage them, hand out wages. You're free to do anything you like. 
  • Expanded interesting dialogues based on the game role system and non-linear storyline. If you character's intellectual abilities are not well-developed, some options would be unavailable for you. So you character should watch his actions and words to have positive attitude of other characters. If you have bad reputation, people won’t trust you. 
  • PVP and TVT combats. Post-apocalyptic world can be really dangerous. Wanna improve your fighting abilities? You can take part in group fighting (team vs team) or fight player vs player in special locations.
  • Clan wars. Wanna dominate in the SKIES world? Take part in the clan wars to win and build your own government on the ruins of post-apocalyptic place. 
  • The book - breathtaking novel and solid background for creators of the game. The idea of a universe where people will be facing almost real-time problems, belongs to our project lead Anton Paramonov. The book will be available on our portal once you help us to reach half of the sum.
