Antler Interactive Announces Fantasy RPG ‘Cloudborn’, Playable Demo Available at GDC 2024
– Swedish game studio Antler Interactive has revealed its pioneering new title, Cloudborn, today. Cloudborn is a community-driven fantasy RPG with an ever-changing game world, tradeable unique characters with attached personalities, and free-roaming exploration across a sea of floating islands via your personal airship. Antler Interactive will have a playable demo of Cloudborn at GDC 2024, available at the Inworld AI Booth on March 20 and the Blockchain Game Alliance Booth on March 22. You can book a time to see the demo and meet with the team here.
Cloudborn is taking several cutting-edge approaches to game design, using advanced generative AI and blockchain technology. Each character you interact with will remember what you say and how you treat them. Your interactions will stick with them as attached personalities via blockchain metadata, transferrable to other players as NFTs. Cloudborn is a living, responsive world that truly feels alive.
The world of Cloudborn, known as Miyanu, hosts many diverse biomes with unique challenges and foes. Use your personal airship to traverse a series of floating islands that hold many secrets to uncover. Assemble your party of heroes and automata and engage in deep strategic battles as you explore the realm. Each playable character you collect is uniquely distinct, with diverse looks, skills, and backgrounds to help you on your journey. The characters you meet have been shaped by Antler’s narrative experts, but your actions matter and will imprint on the world around you.
Cloudborn Gameplay Features:
- An Ever-Changing Fantasy Realm: Watch as the game’s world transforms at your every command. Your words and actions have meaning and create a lasting impact on the characters and the environment.
- Dynamic Character Personalities: Characters that you interact with are forever changed. These attached personalities stick with the characters even after trading with other players via NFT metadata. Characters you inherit from others will remember their past, for better or worse. Any bonds or rivalries get passed on even after trading.
- Advanced AI Integration: Cloudborn’s use of generative AI enhances everything from interactive tutorials that teach you at your own pace, characters that remember your interactions, and a world that evolves at your touch.
- Strategic Turn-Based Battles: Plan your battles with your army of character cards. Your character lineup and positioning matter on the battlefield.
- Airship Base Management and Travel: Explore the floating islands of Miyanu in your customizable airship.
