Project name:
Phoenix Feather
Brief Description:
Phoenix Feather is a second generation, browser based multi player role playing game. It will deliver a new level of immersion though graphical detail, unseen in current browser based games. We will also use impressive new technologies to deliver 100% streamed content, with no need for patching or lengthly downloading to install.
Rich, detailed 3D graphics and gripping content will merge in a quest driven world, which can be enjoyed for a five minute lunch break or five hour play sessions. Players can enter the world anywhere they find an Internet connection, and continue their adventures where they last left them no matter where they play from.
The Phoenix Feather world is as rewarding as it is exciting. Players will quickly find themselves developing strong bonds with their character, the lands and the community. Quests, Infinite dungeons, PVP, Housing, Pets, and unexplored lands beckon each adventurer and promote objective driven play sessions, which will ensure constant challenges and rewards.
Phoenix Feather will appeal to a wide range of gamers. By catering for different play styles and providing varied rewards we hope that any player will quickly find their favorite aspect and will be able to immerse themselves in it.
