The game

What it is

What you can play today

An island with its own creatures and camps, a colony base, quests, crafting, thumpers, parties, clans and open PvP from level 11. Shapeshifting is in as an early, rough version with one creature so far. Magic, housing, clan territory and the rest of this page come later.

Oraclerium is early in development. This is the idea so far, and it will change along the way.

A Stount in the meadows

The world

An alien world rich in Oracite, a crystal everyone wants. You arrive as a recruit with a pistol and a blade.

Oracite gives off a signal. Nobody knows why yet.

Thumping

Most resources come out of the ground with a thumper.

A thumper
  1. Plant and defend

    A thumper takes a while to finish, and the noise draws attention.

  2. Where you plant

    Safer ground gives less. Riskier ground gives more.

  3. Thumpers

    Made by players. Better ones dig more.

  4. Plants and creatures

    Alchemists gather what grows and what roams.

Factions

TBA

Out past the walls

  1. Safe ground

    Towns and your home are safe.

  2. Treaty lands

    Some areas are off limits for fighting other players.

  3. Contested

    Everywhere else, anything goes.

  4. Territory

    Ground can be taken and held.

Dying hurts

Die out there and you leave some of what you carried behind. Your gear stays with you.

What is being built

Aim is the skill

Combat is a shooter, not a tab-target rotation. You aim, lead, reload and manage ammo, with melee and energy weapons and magic.

Grow by doing

No classes and no experience for kills. Every skill improves as you use it, and races differ in what they learn fastest.

A world that you are living in

Immersive quests, PvP, crafting and mining, trade, clans, housing, then vehicles, mounts and familiars, global auction house, faction warfare.

Built in the open

It is early and rough, but you can play it on Windows today. I read every report, and they decide what I build next.

Races, not classes

Anyone can learn any skill. Races differ in body and strengths.
