![]() ![]() The two created City State Entertainment in early 2011, a self-funded studio looking to make their game, their way- without hindrance of trademarks or limitations. Jacobs has joined forces with game development superstar Andrew Meggs, most recently well known for his work on Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, who is also a veteran of the DAoC development team. All while questing, menacing local wildlife, and teaching my pet wolf to pull for me while I sat quietly and invisibly by- searching for my chances to help my realm conquer another. Within the realms of DAoC I had grown to be a slightly less angsty and misunderstood young adult, usually behind the facade of my Hunter “Adwylalin”. Recently, that world came crashing back into my life when I discovered that the founders of Mythic Entertainment were Kickstarting a new project, titled Camelot Unchained. To be specific, these fantastic and amazing best of best friends, introduced me to Dark Ages of Camelot (DAoC). These friends –whom I am sadly not close with anymore– introduced me to the wonderful worlds of PC gaming, and MMORPG’s. We put blankets on the windows, consumed unhealthy amounts of velveeta mac and cheese, and played games for whole weekends whenever possible. I also spent a fair amount of time with a small group of guy friends, usually at one of their parent’s homes, playing games. I dyed my hair blue, raced BMX bikes, and chaired both my High School’s radio club and gay-straight alliance. I could have been the only person sitting on the Kickstarter saying, “Hey what happened here?” Regardless, I’m glad to see the game is still in full swing and I’m looking forward to its release come next year.As an angsty teenage girl in the early 21st century, I spent a fair amount of time being misunderstood. Who knows? Maybe everybody already knew about the website except for me. At this point, I would assume they stopped updating the Kickstarter because their personal website had so much traffic. ![]() I’m really looking forward to the release of this title and I hope City State Entertainment keeps aiming to please. Camelot Unchained has picked up steam, collected 4 million dollars already, and the developers refuse to quit. They’ve built up a solid name for themselves, and they know their games will sell regardless. There are plenty of huge industries that make games without even listening to the public. This is also the stage of the game where you can see the character of the developers. After looking at what’s in store for this title, I can easily see how it has raised so much money. I’m a huge fan of MMORPGs and this game has a ton of potential. Every single stretch goal set for the game has been reached, with the last one being at the 4 million mark. At this point, Camelot Unchained has raised over four million dollars and was rated the Most Anticipated MMORPG of 2016 by IGN. Just because the campaign ended on Kickstarter, it doesn’t mean that donations stopped pouring in. From adding sapling variation, terrain blending, and updating moon materials and resolution, they’re really aiming to please. In response to these requests, City State Entertainment has addressed each individually and shared what they have done to satisfy the players. Players asked for new biomes, more sky detail, weapon skins based on their realm, and much more. They’re definitely listening to everything backers have to say and are trying their best to please the community. Their latest update was on September 23rd, where they announced changes to the game. I’m not sure why the Kickstarter stopped receiving updates, but their official website has all the information. While a specific date hasn’t been announced, the game is definitely coming next year. Well, what happened? Have the developers taken the two million dollars and jumped ship? Absolutely not.Ĭamelot Unchained is getting some serious work put into it and has an official release for 2017. The last campaign update was February 28th, 2015, which was a livestream announcement from the developers. The Camelot Unchained Kickstarter campaign was created by City State Entertainment and has gone dark for a while now. This is a pretty incredible feat for a company with no previous games, aside from an iPhone app. The game collected over two million dollars worth of donations with nearly fifteen thousand backers. If you’ve been around the gaming section of Kickstarter for a while now, odds are that you’ve stumbled across Camelot Unchained at some point. ![]()
