Merlin: The Game Launches Into Open Beta

Award winning Bossa Studios plan to change your perception, again, of what a social game can offer:

  • Merlin allows you and six of your best friends to fight off hordes of monsters, complete quests and explore new exciting areas.
  • As you battle across Camelot gain experience points, level up and customise your character with the skills you want to use.
  • Progressing through the game allows you to upgrade your equipment from the basic clothing of the medieval age to shimmering suits of armour, or colourful sorcerer’s robes.
  • Striking and exciting visuals allow you to dive into the world of Merlin and explore the world of Camelot beautifully rendered in a new stylised environment
  • Be part of the story in the action adventure game that will always have new content for you to explore.

Bossa Studios have had a blast developing Merlin: The Game and here are few highlights from the process:

  • The most redesigned part of the game was Merlin’s ears.
  • The name ‘Leo’ (one of our developers) has appeared in the game in 52 different places during development. 8 of which are currently still in the live game.
  • The lyrics for The Knights of the Round Table from Monty Python and the Holy Grail were used as placeholder text during alpha stage.
  • The very first design decision on maximum size of maps was 10×10. Now we have some buildings in the hub bigger than 10×10.
  • During the making of Merlin the team consumed enough pizza to cover a tennis court.
