Usually, the first playable presents only a thin vertical slice of gameplay. The development process for this project is atypical in that we already have ALL the Eternium content imported into the game.

Emphasis on Windows & Mac for internal testing with builds also available on iPhone, iPad, and Android phones and tablets.

Updated UI for gameplay (while in a level).Touch / keyboard / mouse controls (gamepad and gestures will be in the next milestone).Play with the Mage character including Fireball and Immolate abilities.Navigate from Hometown into level 1, complete level 1, enter portal, return to Hometown.Expected features for this deliverable include: The team has been working towards a formal 'first playable' milestone, which we will complete in early May. This includes areas like terrain, visual effects, and the UI. While Engineering is pushing ahead with production tasks, Art is still experimenting with new ways to create and improve content and player experience before switching gears to new asset production. Now, we are at 80% of our Engineering time being invested building items necessary for the initial release, heading to 90% shortly, while only about 10% will be experimental. To quantify this a bit, previously most of our efforts were explorations and experiments necessary to figure out how to proceed. This past month marked our transition from a heavily experimental 'pre-production' phase of development into an early production phase. (We’ll have another release out in a few weeks.) This is going to take a while! That is why we are also investing time in continuing to update the live version of Eternium. Not only picking up development, but starting over on a completely new engine/architecture. Still, there is an immense amount to absorb when a new team picks up the work of another studio that has been working diligently for a decade. Progress has been swift, as we have experienced Unity developers who have the original Eternium assets and data to leverage and the Eternium Marmalade C/C++ source code to reference.

With Dream Primer's support, Making Fun, the original publisher, is now rebuilding Eternium in the latest version of the Unity game engine so it can entertain fans of classic action RPG gameplay for the next decade and more.Ī LOT had to happen to get from a blank Unity project to what you see in the video. The original Eternium, developed by Dream Primer, is one of the top-rated mobile games ever, with 4.8 stars and millions upon millions of positive reviews.
