**Friendly Disclaimer/Reminder** Monsters and Memories (M&M) is an indie project that is currently in early development. All the textures, models, graphics, animations, and effects are still a work in progress (and subject to change). The dev team behind the scenes is working on their own dime and time to bring this world to life. The founder of M&M was one of the Lead Game Designers of EverQuest. They live stream their entire development process on Twitch. Enjoy my footage but keep in mind that all opinions are my own. For more information go to monstersandmemories.com/
It almost seems this team has access to my calendar as each play/stress test has happened when I am away working... Looks chill. I could see myself playing this as I am so over action-combat MMOs. Sometimes I want to kick back and relax without spamming buttons. EDIT - The sky at night is gorgeous.
@@jamescurrie01 thank you for the kind words and I'm happy if it brightens your day 🌞 I'm super excited for MnM too and look forward to more play tests soon!
Thank you! I learned that through trial and error in Episode 2 😂 the sense of the unknown and the joy of discovering such simple things is a feeling I haven't had in some time 😅
That's a very cool/interesting way of looking at it! I've never played Vanguard but I 100% plan on trying the emu. What really excites me about M&M's art style is how they plan on executing it with a combination of great lighting, visual effects, and atmosphere. Every time I play test M&M I get sucked into the world and I simply can't get enough... so good. Getting excited just thinking about it lol
Playing M&M I already find it more fun than the original EverQuest experience (both emulated and the nostalgia high). This is just a well made game that's not even made yet... we have a keeper.
Sorry for the delayed response - just got back from a long road trip. I appreciate you watching/commenting as it really helps the RU-vid algorithm. This helps my channel grow and spreads awareness about Monsters and Memories. The lead developer of Monsters and Memories is Shawn (aLovingRobot) and live streams the development of the game (along with the rest of his team). They always take constructive feedback and would be happy to chat with you and answer any of your questions. He's made it clear that this game is not for everyone and jokingly said it might be rated "NE" for "Not for Everyone". The graphics are intentionally a "Low Poly" art style, very similar to the art inspired from classic EverQuest. This game is also in early proof of concept development by a small indie team of around 18 part-time devs. All the textures, models, graphics, animations, and effects are still a work in progress. They are building this out of their own pockets and are not (currently) taking any money from fans/supporters. Sorry for being Captain Obvious here since I've mentioned this already in most of my videos, comments, and descriptions as a disclaimer about this early development project. That said, if you're looking for a different graphical art style then "checking on it again when they improve the look" may simply be a waste of your time. Sure, there will be more character customization options, new armor, new textures, etc but "the look" is here to stay. This game captures the classic MMORPG MUD based gameplay and atmosphere we know and love from the original EverQuest. It's taking the simple "Low Poly" art style and combining it with 4K textures and modern GFX engine features (such as weather, atmospheric effects, lighting, etc).
