Rift: Planes Of Telara

(The playable Bahmi warrior that I'm currently animating for the game)

Trion Worlds has finally unveiled our flagship mmo title to the public, "Rift: Planes Of Telara." Formerly titled "Heroes Of Telara," it's been getting a lot of great press these past few days. We still got plenty of work to do to make it look and play awesome (even though many people already think so). In the meantime, here are some links announcing the game.

It's been an exciting week!

Heroes Of Telara

Finally announced at this year's E3 is Heroes Of Telara, the upcoming MMO that I've been animating on. Currently being developed and to be published by Trion World Network Inc.

There's quite a lot of haters out there since our game was unveiled, mainly 'cause the majority who have seen our first trailer don't really understand that this game isn't and does not intend to be like World Of Warcraft.

Heroes Of Telara does offer highly social and dynamic online gaming that is different than the usual mmorpg experience - not many understand what the hell that means or how the gameplay works, resulting in some pretty harsh first impression reviews. However, this reviewer seems to understand better than most of the press that showed up at our private demo - http://vgtribune.com/100-million-question-is-heroes-of-telara-the-world-of-warcraft-killer/ (this guy does exaggerate a bit - our goal is not to be a WoW killer, but rather to put out good game that is drastically different from your usual run-of-the-mill MMO game, which hopefully players will enjoy immensely).

This is the first trailer, so nothing is really polished as of yet.
