What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Although we have been actively developing AEGIS Kingdoms outside of Steam, it is imperative to us that our early supporters are involved in the development, watch our day-to-day updates and provide feedback along the way to help make the game we all always dreamt about.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It's a difficult question to answer because we won't put AEGIS Kingdoms into full release until we know it's ready, however we are aiming for 18 months early access. We have a public roadmap that you can follow to see our progress, intentions and where we see AEGIS Kingdoms going.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We aim for the full version of AEGIS Kingdoms to include a vast amount more content, a complete storyline and a lot of features currently missing from the Early Access version.

- We would like all weapon, crafting and artisan skills available to use.
- We would like various unique areas with varying biomes and islands.
- We'd like instanced player housing with customization options.
- We would like an auction / Trading House.
- We aim to have fully fleshed out faction quests and rewards.
- Guilds.
- Steam Achievements and Cards.

We will then focus on expansion content that we have planned as well as addressing any bugs that crop up along the way.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In terms of content, we are currently in Early Alpha (as of 18th June 2022) where we are still developing the core systems pivotal to having a successful, enjoyable game loop.

Currently implmented and working are the following:
- Character customization (Human Race)
- Many different modular cosmetic armour sets, fullbody outfits, weapons, cosmetic items, capes, shields and toy items.
- In-game mail to send items and gold.
- Player trading
- 15 weapon skills to level up.
- Many easter eggs to be found.
- Instanced Mini PvP events such as Team Death Match and Battle Royale where you can earn Valour to purchase unique cosmetics.
- 10 Pets currently available for you to collect.

Most of the basic multiplayer features are available and implemented too: the game is fully playable and other players can be seen running around in the world. PvP and trading are available, too.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community has been involved ever since the inception of AEGIS Kingdoms during its time outside of Steam. Over this time and before the Early Access we've been listening and implementing user feedback and we've been involving our community in several ways (even letting them pick names of NPCs, monsters or becoming NPCs themselves).

We plan to keep listening to user feedback to improve AEGIS Kingdoms and working with our community to integrate them in the development of the game.”

About This Game


PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER

Welcome, brave adventurers, to the world of AEGIS Kingdoms! A project built on love, passion, and a vision to recreate the charm of private servers and intimate gaming communities.

This is not just another game, instead it is a personal project focused on creating a sanctuary where you can let your imagination run wild and weave tales of wonder and bravery. A cosy world where you can reminisce of sunset games and fond memories you have, whether from your childhood or a simpler time when games meant becoming part of online communities.

As a developer, the joy of creating a lively community where everyone can participate in this wonderful fantasy world is what truly matters to me. It's a fun little indie game, designed to be your "home game". (At least, it will be my home game!)

I want to make this abundantly clear: AEGIS Kingdoms will NEVER be a commercial game focusing on numbers, sales figures or hell bent on shoving a product down your throat. AEGIS Kingdoms is more akin to a cosy gathering place, a fireside where like-minded individuals can meet, interact, and delve into an indie multiplayer adventure.

So as you embark on your journey through the realm, you'll not only interact with my team and me, but also with a friendly, tight-knit community of players from various walks of life. We're all here to explore and enjoy this virtual world together and that’s what AEGIS Kingdoms is about.

If you find yourself smitten by the world of AEGIS Kingdoms and wish to support the game, helping its ongoing development, we've set up a completely optional premium membership system. Subscribing to this offers a few extra perks as a thank you, but rest assured, the game does not penalise you for not having a premium membership. This is simply for those who believe in the game and want to help it thrive. As a thank you, there will be premium-only locations, items and rewards.

We're in the initial stages of this great venture, and your company is most welcome! Join us on Discord, share your thoughts, suggestions, and experiences, and let's build the world of AEGIS Kingdoms together.


LATEST INFORMATION:

AEGIS Kingdoms is in an exciting phase of development where we're holding "Open Weekends." These are unique opportunities where you can access the game server over the weekend to play and help us shape the game. Your valuable feedback and insights during these sessions are vital for our development process.

We'll announce all the upcoming "Open Weekends" on our Discord channel. But, if you're not a Discord user, worry not! Just hit the green register button on the store page, and you'll receive a notification via email from Steam when the tests begin.

We welcome you to join our Discord server as well. You'll find the link in the appropriate location. This is an excellent way to engage with other players, discuss strategies, share your experiences, and contribute to the community that is starting to grow around AEGIS Kingdoms.


STORY PREMISE:

The adventure of AEGIS Kingdoms begins as you venture to the alluring continent of Ophelia. This is a realm of untamed wilderness, ancient secrets, and endless possibilities. As you explore, you'll undertake challenging commissions, cultivate crops, nurture animals, and delve into shadowy dungeons.

The Grand Empire, having lifted its military restrictions, is now encouraging citizens to settle in Ophelia. Those who dare to embark on this new life will find themselves in New Camelot, the pioneer settlement in these foreign lands. There, they'll encounter various factions eager to provide support and offer opportunities for work to newcomers. Each faction brings its own unique flavour to the experience, ensuring there's always a fresh challenge waiting for you.

The Relic Hunters:

As a Relic Hunter, you'll be on the frontline of discovery, delving into ancient ruins and uncovering relics from the past to aid New Camelot and the Grand Empire's prosperity. But beware, these places often harbour hidden dangers.

The Adventurer's Guild:

If you're an explorer at heart, then the Adventurer's Guild needs you! Set foot where no one has before, plant your flag atop Ophelia's tallest peaks, and fill in the blank spots on the map of this new continent.

The Mercenary Legion:

While New Camelot is a beacon of safety, the lands beyond its walls are teeming with unknown perils. As a member of the Mercenary Legion, you'll be paid handsomely for your bravery. Whether it's hacking and slashing through hostile creatures or ensuring the safety of wandering travellers, your sword will be the shield against the chaos of the wilderness.

The Engineer's Society:

For the thinkers, inventors, and curious minds, the Engineer's Society offers a realm of endless possibilities. You will analyse the unique flora and fauna, build intriguing contraptions, and unravel the scientific wonders of Ophelia. Your inventions will fuel the growth and prosperity of New Camelot.

The Settler's Union:

Finally, the Settler's Union welcomes all builders and craftsmen willing to shape the heart of our civilization. You'll gather resources, craft essential items, learn to farm, and rear animals. Your skills will greatly contribute to the flourishing society of New Camelot.


ABOUT AEGIS KINGDOMS:

In AEGIS Kingdoms, we've brought together the magic of a shared world and the thrill of horizontal combat progression meaning your friends can instantly join in with your adventures, even if you’ve been playing for a while. You can choose to join any faction, embark on story-based quests called "Adventures," or just enjoy the beauty of Ophelia.

Key features of AEGIS Kingdoms include:

  • Community-centric gameplay: We've designed AEGIS Kingdoms to foster a fun, supportive community where players can band together and enjoy each other's company.

  • Varied Gameplay: The five different factions each offer unique gameplay aspects, allowing for a rich variety of experiences.

  • Cosmetic Rewards: Our game rewards players with cosmetic items that allow you to personalise your character and stand out in the community. Many of these are achieved directly through gameplay.

  • No Pay-To-Win: We've committed to keeping AEGIS Kingdoms fair and enjoyable for everyone. Any purchases in our cash shop are purely cosmetic and meant to support the ongoing development of the game.

  • RPG-inspired progression: Our game features vertical progression for trade craft skills, reminiscent of the old-school RPG games that we all love. (Yes, Woodcutting, Mining, etc!)

  • Encouragement to explore: Ophelia is a land filled with hidden gems and exciting adventures. We encourage you to explore this vast open world and uncover its many secrets. We’ve spent all this time hiding things, it would be a shame for them *not* to be found!

And that's just the beginning! We've got lots more exciting features and updates coming soon, so stay tuned! We invite you to join us on this adventure and help shape the world of AEGIS Kingdoms.
