Hi everyone,
We are Astronaut Entertainment, a small independent studio from Türkiye. We are building Ancient Online: Remastered, a classic eastern-fantasy empire MMORPG, on Unreal Engine 5.8.
What it is: rival empires, open-world PvP, contested hunting grounds and dungeons, high-risk gear upgrades, guild castle sieges and a player-driven economy, in one persistent world shared by desktop and mobile players.
Some of the technical side, since that is what this forum is for:
- One codebase and one world for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS
- Native Slate UI across desktop and mobile
- Our own authoritative game server (25 Hz simulation, server-authoritative movement) next to the UE client
- A single merged open world streamed in cells, with a live world editor that publishes revisions to the server
- Server-driven weather, wind and time of day shared by all players
- Localized into 30 languages
Status: in development, internal builds running on all five platforms. No release date yet. The game has a permanent no pay-to-win rule: the shop sells only cosmetics and convenience items.
We will keep this thread updated with progress. Questions and feedback are very welcome.
