(Greenlight) Atulos Online 10 year Anniversary

[Camm]

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.

No reason not supporting such a massive project
- and lovely old style RPG!
Will vote green tonight
(when my home pc will hopefully remember my steam credentials )

Wish you'll add some juicy disappearing animations to the red demons also
and maybe some extra "filler" objects/things inside dungeons?

Nice assets anyway, and overall admirable job
must have been a huge work!

Thanks for the support Schrodinger and everyone that voted, it certainly has been a huge work over the years

We have been making our way towards the Top 100, but there is still quite a way to go and we would really appreciate any votes from the community here to support a fellow click project

Hey Camm, maybe you can help me. I too have a game on Greenlight (Just a cleric) that I put up there the other day and as of now I'm at 48% to the top 100.
The thing is, it was at 26% yesterday morning and shot up a few times to 48% but only with very minimal 'yes' votes added (like 10 tops).

Do you know why it shot up so much? Is it because new added games aren't doing as well or does it mean that something that was really good got pushed through and greenlit? I'm brand new to Steam in general and the rules for getting greenlit are confusing to me.

Thanks in advance!

Yes I know what happened. They Greenlit a big batch of games (around 200), and as a result your game made a big jump towards the Top 100

You can follow all the games that are being Greenlit here: https://greenlightupdates.com/

I voted for your game by the way, it looks awesome

[Del_Duio]

Thanks on both counts!!

Oh also, your game really reminds me of a mix of Ultima Online and Diablo. Also a bit like an old game for the NES where you controlled a wizard and could get killed in a million different nasty ways (remember that one?).
