10 years ago in early February of 2006, Atulos Online launched by posting in this forum. In that time we have managed to keep the game online continuously for the entire 10 years (aside from the occasional server crash of course!).
The game began its development in the old Games Factory, and then was updated to each new iteration of click product that was released, most recently Fusion 2.5. Over that time we have had numerous overhauls and major updates, but in recent years development on the project stopped, although we kept the server running and a small faithful community remained.
Last year the client was updated to Fusion 2.5 and we began thinking about how we could reboot the game and continue its development into the future. We decided to work towards launching a Greenlight campaign, as putting the game on Steam seemed like the way we could give the game the most exposure. Leading up to the launch of the Greenlight campaign, we gave the game another overhaul and developed a new website.
One of the features of the most recent major update is we have re-balanced the game to be far less of a grind. We feel that excessive grinding in online RPGs is something that people are far less willing to do now, and we wanted to make the game progress more smoothly. There is also a new area called the Mountain of Kings, which is excellent for gaining levels quickly.
Now on the 10 year anniversary of the game, the Greenlight campaign has been launched, and we intend to continue the development of Atulos Online during the campaign, and into the future beyond that.
As fellow click product users, we would really appreciate your vote on Steam Greenlight, to help Atulos Online make it onto Steam, securing the future of the game.
