In an article by Gematsu, there are a couple of email updates that have shared some of the artwork for this new RPG depicting scenic settings in a hand-drawn style.
The emails also detail what kind of game this will be emphasising role-playing. But while it is an online RPG, it won’t be deemed an MMO, but rather a TMO as the developer are calling it, a Tiny Multiplayer Online.
While the world is “massive” you will only run into a small number of players on each server, letting players be fully immersed in the gaming experience without it teeming with players. You can choose to team up with others in multiplayer or adventure solo.
We’ll have to wait until September for more info on this one.

Decay of Logos

Developer of Decay of Logos Amplify Creations recently announced the release of their action-RPG would be at the end of August. They also held a Reddit AMA, letting the community ask them questions about the upcoming game.
Game designer and Programmer of Decay of Logos André Constantino fielded questions from the community.
According to the AMA, Decay of Logos will take between 10 to 12 hours to complete, provided exploration is kept to a minimum. The game is semi-open world, meaning paths are pretty much set, but you do have the option to return to different parts.
One interesting question asked was the comparison between the gameplay with souls titles and whether there are difficulty options. Constantino explains that Decay of Logos “is more accessible” compared to souls game, and that difficulty will vary.
If you were wondering why an elk was chosen as the companion for Decay of Logos, wonder no more, the influence came from Princess Mononoke. But your companion doesn’t simply serve as mount but a secondary inventory, can help you solve puzzles and you can pet it.
