Hey everybody,
I grew up enjoying Tibia 7.4, these epic days of exploring a world filled with hazard, grinding for loot, and battling in high-risk PvP zones. That nostalgia stayed with me, and over the previous two years, I’ve been pouring my coronary heart into creating Definya, a 2D MMORPG impressed by these classics. But it surely’s not simply Tibia—it’s additionally closely influenced by Ultima On-line (UO) and Albion On-line, with a contemporary twist to maintain issues contemporary.
Right here’s why I feel Definya captures one of the best of all worlds.
Tibia launched us to a handful of iconic vocations, however I wished to increase on that with inspiration from UO’s versatile programs. Definya has:
Factions:
Life Bringers: People, Dwarves, Elves.
Shadow Walkers: Orcs, Minotaurs, People.
Lessons: Warriors, Berserkers, Sorcerers, Druids, Rogues—every with distinctive passive talents and sophistication spells.
Instance: Minotaurs have a racial spell referred to as Bull Energy, doubling their measurement and harm for a brief burst, whereas Elves profit from agility and magic bonuses.
Every class and race has a selected bonus and penalty in direction of your abilities.
Abilities Impressed by UO: Tons of craftable and combat-focused abilities like:
Crafting Abilities: Mining, lumberjacking, fishing, cooking.
Fight Abilities: Sword preventing, membership preventing, dagger mastery, magic degree, and distance preventing.
Attributes: Energy, resistance, dexterity, magic resistance—your construct issues, similar to in UO.
Whether or not you’re a farmer or a fighter, your skillset grows with you, and each alternative feels significant. There’s no one-size-fits-all construct.
Tibia’s player-driven market was nice, however I wished to present it a contemporary edge by taking notes from Albion On-line’s sandbox financial system.
Dynamic Pricing: NPCs promote solely the fundamentals, and costs modify primarily based on provide and demand. For instance, if everybody’s crafting potions, potion costs dumps (provide > demand). This encourages commerce between farmers, crafters, and adventurers, and a self adjusted free financial system.
Participant-Centric Crafting: The most effective gear comes from player-made objects. Excessive-tier weapons and armor aren’t simply drops—it’s important to craft or purchase them from different gamers, creating a real interdependent financial system.
Crafting – Construct Your Path to Greatness
Crafting in Definya is impressed by the deep programs of Ultima On-line, making it greater than only a facet exercise—it’s important to your success. With abilities like blacksmithing, fishing, and lumberjacking, you’ll collect sources, refine supplies, and craft highly effective gear.
– Fishing: Reel in uncommon elements for potions, buffs, or promote your catch within the participant market.
– Lumberjacking: Chop down timber to craft bows, staves, and different important instruments for your self or commerce with different gamers.
The upper your crafting abilities, the higher your possibilities of creating uncommon, high-quality objects. Whether or not you need to grasp a commerce or provide adventurers with gear, crafting is a cornerstone of Definya’s sandbox financial system.
Definya affords PvP that feels simply as thrilling (and terrifying) as Tibia’s old-school battles, however with extra methods to customise your danger:
Cranium System: Like Tibia, PvP penalties are primarily based in your actions.
Beginner Safety: Gamers are protected till degree 14, giving them time to develop earlier than moving into the hazard zone.
Play Modes:
Softcore: No dying penalty, slower XP achieve.
Hardcore: Loot drops on dying, sooner XP achieve.
Permadeath: The last word check of talent and danger, with 80% XP boosts however no second possibilities.
Definya captures that Tibia/UO vibe however layers in trendy options for a richer expertise:
An Open World Value Exploring: Huge, interconnected maps filled with secrets and techniques, dungeons, and biomes that adapt primarily based in your faction.
Gem System for Gear Customization: Add uncommon gems to your weapons and armor to spice up stats or create distinctive results.
Improved Crafting: Create significant, highly effective objects from scratch—past simply runes or fundamental potions.
PvP and PvE Integration: Hunt bosses, conquer uncommon crafting nodes, or take down rival gamers—it’s as much as you.
At its core, Definya is about capturing the magic of video games like Tibia 7.4, UO, and Albion On-line whereas providing one thing uniquely its personal. Whether or not you’re a nostalgic old-schooler or a contemporary MMO fan, there’s one thing right here for you.
It’s nonetheless in BETA, so it’s not good but, however I’d love your suggestions—whether or not it’s about stability, options, or bugs. Let me know what you suppose, and for those who’re up for an journey, come test it out.
