Hello all! My name is James Daniels, I'm a Community Manager and Content Developer for Sagramore, a 2D browser-based MMORPG set in the high fantasy world of Lumera. Don't worry, I am not here to just plug in a site and leave, I'll check back daily to answer any questions anyone may have. These forums also interest me, so I'll stick around.

[color="RoyalBlue"][size="4"][font="Palatino Linotype"]What is Sagramore?[/font]

Sagramore is a 2D browser-based MMORPG based on browser interaction. We are constantly developing and expanding the game and feature sets. With a large world to explore, many adventures and quests await you, which you can access from almost any device with internet access.

*Ports specifically designed for IPhone & Android can be expected in the near future

Browsers have seen a leap in performance these last few years. This opened up the way for us to try a new concept. This is also driven by the growing market for smart phones, tablets, and netbooks. We see a growing demand in games to play on these devices.

We simply wish to create an experience, an online story that can be accessed from nearly anywhere, and looked to HTML to bring this experience to life. We hope to bring a story to the world that is partially created by us and partially by its own community. So please join us in our public alpha testing currently underway!

Don't be discouraged by the fact that this game is browser-based. Sagramore features real-time interaction and everything else you'd expect from an MMORPG!

Among many other things Sagramore will feature:

• A large world to explore
• An immersive storyline
• Completely customizable character creation (tons of freedom to create your own look)
• Over 15 unique playable classes
• Many, many compelling quests & side quests
• A dynamic world with NPCs that roam across it
• Level-up & character statistics system
• Friendly GUI & Game interaction.

*Sagramore is steadily involving and always accepting user feedback. That said, join our forums and start submitting ideas of gameplay elements you’d like to see in Sagramore.

[color="RoyalBlue"][size="4"][font="Palatino Linotype"]How do I play?[/font]
Sagramore is currently in early Alpha stages, however in order to ensure a final product that players will enjoy we have made all testing stages of Sagramore open, therefore you can play by signing up on our website. (See links at the bottom) The requirements are:

• Web browser that supports HTML5 elements (IE7+, Chrome, Firefox or Opera)
• Flash plugin, for a better connection (Optional)

As you can see the requirements are very loose thus Sagramore can be played from almost any device with an internet connection. We plan to release specific apps for popular mobile devices in the future.

Some technical information about Sagramore. No, we are not using some MMORPG Maker engine. Sagramore uses our very own Lumera Engine, created in house.




Lumera Engine is a Javascript topview HTML based front end and C++ backend client-server setup which can be implemented for a number interactive uses.



Examples of use are:

• Interactive realtime chat applications
• Team-focused games (capture the flag , online RPG, online strategy games)
• Innovative website interactivity extention.

Lumera Engine includes a multi-user, javascript, live tilebased world-editor used to create areas, maps, and worlds.
It is currently still under development.
