Brighter Shores on Steam
store.steampowered.com
Brighter Shores is an all new adventure from award winning MMORPG designer Andrew Gower. It is an enchanting point-and-click style RPG with hundreds of hours of gameplay, set in a land of magic and mysteries, with a huge number of professions to try, and something new to find around every corner.

I mean, when I saw an ex-Jagex employee making a new MMO I thought it was going to be slightly inspired by RuneScape… But this game looks exactly like RuneScape, and the description of the gameplay also matches it perfectly - this is essentially RuneScape 3 but managed by someone else (and with a much newer engine)

    Okay but the gameplay loop is exactly the same. Why give up your 20 year old runescape account to go play runescape with a different name?

      I eventually stopped played RS3 because I was really frustrated with the slow pace of development. They would constantly announce new features only to cancel them years later because they were too hard to implement. Their excuse was always that the engine was too old.

      This new game has a completely new engine. It doesn’t have 20+ years of tech debt. It (hopefully) isn’t held together by rubber bands and paperclips like RuneScape is.
