My main issue is that as much hope i have for this game i would like more advertisements for it... Maybe Andrew will advertise later... Maybe even after beta testing or maybe even he wont advertise it like he never really advertised runescape much in the initial years? But the point is a game to have a player base needs advertising and the advertisement makes ppl form an opinion however wrong or right... Right now ppl are unable to form opinion on the game as theres not enough to go by. Im in a brighter shores discord server connected to the brighter shores subreddit and yet it doesn't even have 1k subs while other upcoming games have like 2k atleast? Also theres barely any communication from Andrew, he doesnt give weekly updates or anything which is also another reason why ppl are not forming an opinion which is making this game fly below the radar of ppl. Imo the game needs advertising conseidering its releasing in a few months to buildup hype and more updates from Andrew Great video as always dude
Never understood the graphics argument. Always personally preferred gameplay and overall feel of a game with little concern at all in art direction as long as it is visually readable. My main appeal for going all out with the game and making multiple accounts to play on simultaneously is that Brighter Shores is unlikely to ever die. Andrew Gower would support this passion project regardless of the playerbase outcome. I have tried so many games in the last decade that within a few years or less are completely shut down just a few years after launch. Brighter Shores will still be around a decade from now even if the player number never cracks 6 digits. In regard to RS/OSRS players not wanting another runescape, that can't be further from reality. Upwards of 95%+ of everyone even anticipating Brighter Shores right now are either current or past RS/OSRS players. I know even if I am going to play 6 Brighter Shore tabs at the same time I would still be clicking on the OSRS hardcore for 200m skills. And inversely if bossing on the OSRS account would still have the main Brighter Shore account grinding something on the side. And if doing something else unrelated to gaming would still have both afking something in the background.
Andrew already got his bag, I don't mind playing a passion game made by the guy who created the world that defined so many childhoods. What good is promotion if it's just to meet financial requirements. We know about it, if we like it then we share it.
I think its going for a niche market and not attempting to be the next big MMO either. Its not going to attract everyone but I think alot of old MMO fans are going to enjoy it. I'm excited to try it out. I loved Runescape when I was young but its hard to play OSRS today since its so dated and Modern RS feels like an xp free for all.
after playing osrs for around 10k hours I owe it to the gower bros to at least try it.. i dont care that there is not much revealed about the game. At the end of the day i will try it and if its good its good, if its shit its shit and we move on lmao its not that deep. What worries me though is that they said its not tick based like osrs, which makes me think it might be too simplistic and not skillbased at all.. in which case its automatically shit.

Great video as always dude
Thank you brother, I totally agree with you and feel the same.

Thats nice to hear man, I pretty much agree that the graphics argument makes no sense but to each their own I guess

I see what you're saying, good point

Could very well be the case.

Yeah it will be interesting to see how the combat may play out
