LIFE IS FEUDAL can be summarized as a massive Sandbox PC MMORPG with advanced features catering to gamers looking for the ultimate online gaming experience! Set in a vast and realistic medieval environment, the game offers a large persistent seamless world, in which its players can freely roam and participate.

While LIFE IS FEUDAL is free-to-play, its full potential can only be experienced by acquiring a license (buy-to-play). Players are allowed to explore and roam a free continent almost without restrictions, giving a sense of the games full scope, complexity, and gameplay.

LIFE IS FEUDAL offer a host of incredible features making our game truly unique! It offer something for everyone, and the diverse and varied gameplay is enhanced by our continued commitment to adding new and cool stuff over time! Backers of this campaign will enjoy unlimited hours of adventuring, and very few players will ever be good enough, or skilled enough, to explore the rich and massive environment! Here is a quick breakdown of our games main features:

• Massive Seamless Open-Ended World. LIFE IS FEUDAL features a massive 441 square kilometer open seamless world! Our game has island-like continent with different biomes such as plain, dense forest, steppe, desert, tundra and marsh, for example.

Our feature list is one of the most impressive and extensive for any MMORPG ever to be developed, and includes the very best from existing online games as well as some new, innovative, and groundbreaking additions never before seen! What follows is a brief description of the main features, and throughout the campaign we will provide updates with in-depth information and extensive details giving our backers full insight and clarity of our plans for LIFE IS FEUDAL.

LIFE IS FEUDAL has a tentative official release date of 2015, but this is subject to change and does not mean the game will not be available to download and play online a long time before that! The truth is, we plan to have an early ALPHA available right after successful finish of this campaign, and next year in 2014, there will be additional content and features added to the game, taking it to the BETA level. 

Supporters of LIFE IS FEUDAL can gain early exclusive access to playable code by pledging to some of our perk options outlined on the right side of this page. Developing a MMORPG is an everlasting process and never truly ends. But we strive to make as much content and as many features available as quickly as possible, especially because feedback and support is important.

Payment model is planned to be a B2P. Players will be able to download and enter game for free and will appear on a newbie island. While suffering different limitations, they will be able to test all of game mechanics and most of it features. And if they feel confident enough to leave safe newbie island and dive into the real medieval life on the main Continent, they will have to pay only once.

So what do you get for helping us? First of all, a heartwarming feeling that you have helped in creating a new, unique sandbox MMORPG to life! That feeling will be extended into game, giving you a slight sense of nobility.

Please, consider inspecting our rewards:

Credits

We will place you name and/or nickname in the Hall of Fame of our game on the website and the in-game credits page. Many years from now you will be able to tell your children that you helped trigger a new era of sandbox games. :)

Titles

Game Supporter, Proud Game Supporter, “Untouchable Game Supporter”. These titles will be available to all of your characters, so other players can observe them and feel how pathetic they are :). Also, if you choose the “Untouchable Game Supporter” Title to be visible and you are murdered by some PvP hungry outlaw, that outlaw will suffer a slightly higher alignment hit. That will teach him to avoid killing great supporters like you! ;)

Game purchase

Starting from a “well” reward tier you will be considered as a buyer of our game. That will give your characters a free ticket on a ship to the Main continent from the Newbie Island. Other players will have to spend real currency to buy these tickets.

Access to closed forum section

Way to effect on our Lore by taking active part in debates on the main continent and starting city names. Also, you will have access to alpha/beta tester forums and read their reviews, in case you were not lucky enough to get into earlier tests.

Increased “Authority” skill

This skill allow you to claim land for your personal control to build your own cozy farm, garden or bandit camp. Skill progression will be based on the amount of time you successfully maintain that claim. Players with this reward will have an increased base amount of the skill. This will allow them to claim significantly more land at the start of open Beta tests and at release!

Early access to the closed Alpha/Beta Tests

For all of you who cannot wait and want to dive into our medieval massive sandbox world, that is the right rewards for you.

Instant Closed Alpha Access - as soon as our campaign will be successfully finished, you will be able to download our client and join the alpha testing

Closed Alpha II Phase Access - aprox. in 2 month after the start of Closed Alpha tests

Closed Alpha III Phase Access - aprox. in 2 month after the start of Closed Alpha II tests

Closed Beta I Phase Access - date strongly depends on success of our campaign, extra funds we might get and overall amount of problems that needs to be solved during Alpha tests. As a rough estimate, that should be a Summer/Fall of 2014

Closed Beta II Phase Access - aprox. in 2 month after the start of Closed Beta tests

Keep in mind that early access will be provided to the Alpha/Beta testing phases, so please, be prepared to some glitches and bugs and report them on the way. The more reports you will do - the faster we will fix them.

Real Estate Rental

Starting City will be an only safe place in an endless storm of feudal life happening around it. Our backers will be able to claim land in city protected radius, which will guarantee protection of their assets in any circumstances! Aside from that, certain backers will have an estate property behind city walls that will be free of rent for first 6 month of Open Beta and Release. That property can be used freely, as for aesthetic purposes, as your bind point or simply to stash your belongings.

Keep in mind that we will let you choose any house out of the same types, but those who had backed first will be picking those houses first. So be fast with that, or you might end up with only some variants in slum district of Starting City ;)

Starting City view:

Houses types:

Tiny Shack

Tiny Shack. 1 bind point. A modest peasant shack. Has no door. Good enough to be a part of the city residents and to cover you from rain, but nothing else.

Small Wooden House ...

and Small Plaster House

3 bind points. A good 1 story high house for a tight family.

Medium sized Plaster House
