Richard Garriott, or rather his fantasy alter-ego Lord British, will be making an appearance in Lycantic's upcoming Ultima-inspired RPG Corven: Path of Redemption. According to the official announcement, the ruler of Britannia will go beyond a simple cameo and actually play an important part in Corven's story. Here's more on that:
Exciting news!
Lord British, the King of Britannia from the Ultima series and the alter ego of Ultima creator Richard Garriott, will officially be in Corven!
After reading my story outline for Lord British in Corven, Richard Garriott was kind enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to have a brainstorming session with me to further refine this part of the Corven storyline. Once we were happy with the result, he officially agreed to have the Lord British character in Corven!
Lord British will not just be a gimmick in Corven, but will play an essential role in the main storyline.
I would love to tell you more details about the story, but I don’t want to spoil it for you. I might be biased, but I have to say, the story is amazing and it will translate into an amazing game.
I can also honestly say that Richard Garriott’s keen sense for an exciting CRPG plot is incredible and it was a pleasure to have this brainstorming session with him.
Now it is up to us to turn this plot into a compelling game.
Richard Garriott agreed to have additional brainstorming sessions in the future, so you can be sure that Corven will have a storyline worthy of an Ultima.
So all you classic CRPG fans out there, and especially all you dear Ultima fans, Corven is now the closest thing to a new single player Ultima game that you can get in the near future. Stay tuned and please support us in the upcoming Kickstarter so we can make all this a reality.
Development is on track for the release of the fully playable demo in spring 2020 and the Kickstarter will begin at the same time!
Please spread the word about Corven! It’s difficult to get the word out as small indie team and we rely on you for word of mouth support.
THANK YOU!
