SideQuest, a new kind of browser MMORPG

Hello Indie Game fans! This is Connor Brennan of Fractal Entertainment here to tell you about the release of our first ever Kickstarter !

SideQuest combines the accessibility of a flash game, with the social aspects and depth of an MMORPG and adds in a dash of our own unique style!

Check it out!

Website: http://www.side-quest.com

EDIT: THIS IS ONLY A NOTICE FOR THE KICKSTARTER
The actual game will be released early next year.

EDIT2: We do plan on releasing the game on Kongregate at the time of release.

I’ll try it, but do you have any plans on bringing it to Kongregate at all?

EDIT: FUCK YEAH, I GOT “JOE” AS MY USERNAME

EDIT2: So, uh…. How do I start playing?
I’ve signed up, activated, and logged in, but there’s no “PLAY” button or anything….

I love the artwork, and this game looks like it could be really fun!

I apologize for the confusion! This is only a notice for the Kickstarter.

The game itself is scheduled to be released early next year.

It looks great so far. Time to take all the cool names I look forward to it being released.

Ooohhh, I see.
If I was in a position to, I’d definitely donate to it.
I may be at some point soon though, so I’m hoping I can :P

Wow, this looks great. I think I’ll get addicted to this when it comes out.

If you’re looking for beta testers…hint hint.

Thanks for your support!
We have plans for releasing a preview of the game in a few weeks!

This looks pretty cool.
I might try it when it gets released.

Thanks for all the support and feedback!

Looking forward to the preview. :D

…Then you should choose me. =P

looks awesome but im concerned about “with the social aspects and depth of an MMORPG” what does this mean? energy and pay2win?

Excellent questions.

First, the “social aspects” refer to the multitude of multi-player content (3man dungeons, guilds, team pvp). “Depth” refers to the idea that instead of simply grinding out the same content with new skins and bigger numbers, each quest and boss fight will present a unique gimmick that the player will have to counter act. This means that instead of each new stage just being more grind, you will actually have to think and be strategic in order to move forward in the game.

Second, the goal of SideQuest is to keep the game as friendly to non-paying users as possible. The best gear will always be found in the dungeons or as pvp rewards, there is no energy system (though, arenas, daily quests and dungeons are limited per day). Any item purchasable from the shop (other than vanity items) will be tradable, meaning that you can buy any given item mall item using gold.

We are committed to providing an enjoyable experience for ALL our users.. not just the ones with deep pockets.

It’s an attitude like that that’ll get you a lot of support too, which I’m glad to see.
Will this game end up being on Kongregate at all?

Yes! We plan on releasing the game on Kongregate as well as our independent website!

Does this game need a plug-in or download, or is it a browser game?

The game is built using Unity, so it runs in the Unity Webplayer.

Bumping for more attention.
I’d love to see this game get more support.

I’d gladly lend the support of our website to provide a link to the campaign, contact me about it.

Got my OG name “Jonas”

I’m sorry to see you didn’t reach your goal, but I’m looking forward to the release regardless.

The game is built using Unity, so it runs in the Unity Webplayer.

…which means it is not quite as acessible as flash. People are installing unity players, but rather slowly, and unless I’m quite mistaken, not many new computers come with a unity player.
that is to say, I don’t have unity. :P
oh, and I have no affiliation with your group.

I am very excited to try this game. I got the name “Wizard” as my username.

EDIT: I have played a bit of the game and I was wondering how to move your character? Lol.
