• Hey there Guys,

    This is my first post here, so I thought I’d introduce myself properly. My friends call me Cro or Crow. I grew up in a quiet part of rural Ireland and spent my teens and early twenties living between here and England… and Tyria.

    I started Guild Wars around Factions, maybe 2006/2007. Not long after Nightfall came out, I met someone in Kamadan, we became friends, met in real life, and later started seeing each other. Today we’re living back on my family’s off-grid farm with eight children (one of my daughters is named Elona), and we’ve just found out we’re expecting another. So, as you can see, Guild Wars has massively shaped my life, our lives.

    Gaming-wise, we each have two accounts with 20s of every profession. We’ve taken long breaks, life gets very busy here, but every time we come back, Tyria still feels like home. I know those maps like I know the fields I grew up in.

    For years I searched for a way to play GW on my phone. I tried everything, and I searched for “something like GW” for mobile… but of course, as you all well know, there isn’t anything like GW. One day I asked GPT what the closest game was, and it basically said: “The only way to play a game like GW on mobile is if you make one.”

    I thought about that for maybe an hour… and then I started.

    That was months ago. In the last week or two, I finished the entire game design, all classes, skills, story, systems, everything, and I’ve now started building it in Unity. It’s an offline/online tactical CORPG for mobile and PC, with instanced missions and party-based combat. I’m not trying to promote anything here, I’ve just been building this alone and my family are the only people I’ve shared it with. I’d love to share some of the project and journey with people who understand the kind of game I’m trying to honour.

    Now, the General forum says:

    “Talk about anything related to Guild Wars (or even about other things, but don’t go a gate too far!).”

    So my question is this:

    Would anyone be interested in hearing about my project, and would sharing it here be “a gate too far”?

    Thanks for reading, and good luck out there in Tyria.

    Crow.

    P.S. I truly don’t want to advertise anything. This project is my attempt to honour something beautiful that shaped my life.

    P.P.S. And sorry for the long post, it's a lot to say in a few short lines. :)
