Ataivsm 2019 is released on the Unity Asset Store.
Grab our Atavism Live Demo and see for yourself.
Have you ever dreamed about your MMORPG game, but you were overwhelmed by a number of hard tasks like programming server side, features, networking while maintaining proper performance and scalability typical for MMO game? Maybe the lack of funds caused you to abandon such an idea? If yes, then this is the solution for you, focus on creating game content rather than handling its logic.
Your imagination is your only limitation!
Atavism is an MMORPG oriented networking solution which will allow you to focus on content creation while taking out the hard tasks from your shoulder.
Major elements which make Atavism unique are:
- Scalability - Multi-tenant architecture which includes dedicated server proxy running on any Linux and separate plugins/modules servers along with relational MySQL/MariaDB databases allows you to scale your environment to your needs. Server side is written in Java with few Python elements and each element is multi-threaded by default. Unique design allows you can split existing Atavism into 11 separate physical or logical servers and 4 database ones. It’s the only such solution on the market.
- Modular design - Atavism from the beginning was designed with modularity in mind, it means that you can not only use our features but you can also adjust server-side plugins logic, as each Atavism license has access to Atavism Plugins Source Code (AGIS).
- Configuratibility - Mentioned AGIS not only lets you modify existing Plugins Code but also you are free to create your own plugins and add features. Also by default Atavism has powerful and user-friendly graphics Atavism Editor which is accessible from Unity where you can configure all Atavism Plugins.
Atavism comes with many features which are accessible out of the box:
-
Server authoritative - to reduce bandwidth some actions are checked on the client first and if they will be allowed by the client-server is double checking them. It also reduces bandwidth.
-
Chat with channels - Dedicated chat solution with Global, Combat, Events, Guild and Group channels but not only limited to that, but you can also speak instance wide, or worldwide and you can send whispers, group and guild invitations and much more. It allows you to use admin commands for getting items, change instance, teleport, send server announcements and even fly, the full list can be found here. You can also link items and abilities on chat.
-
User account management - Set admin privileges or ban a user for bad behavior, this module was made for such tasks.
-
Instances - Manage instances, pick one of few types like world, dungeon, group dungeon, single private instance or guild private instance, each has its own features and you can have as many as you want.
-
Quest system - customize and adjust them to your needs, you can set requirements like player level or another quest as a prerequired, you can set multiple guaranteed rewards like items, currency, experience, but you can also set optional reward where a player will be able to pick one of the rewards. As quest objectives you can set killing mobs, mob group, getting an item or task where for example a player would have to scout some area or areas on your map.
-
Trading system - trade with other players, you can exchange items and currencies, but you can also use the trade system with NPC where you can purchase defined by game designer items.
-
Stats system - very powerful system which allows you to adjust and define your own attributes like Strength, Health, Mana, Defense, but there is no limit for the stats, you can have as many as you want, and you can set them as a resistance, damage, vitality to be added or reduced over time like when you are swimming you would reduce your breath and after it will reach minimum value take a damage, all within the graphics interface, all predefined attributes can be found here.
-
Race system - allows you to define not only race but its special attribute values, like Humans can be most balanced while Orcs or Giants can have more strength and less intelligence. They can have different starting and respawning locations.
-
Class system - define new classes and you can even set some classes special for the race like Orcs could never be good Archers or Rouges.
-
Factions - this system allows you to set relations between races or even classes, for example, Humans can be friendly vs Elves, natural vs Dwarves but enemies vs Orcs or Devils.
-
NPCs and MOBS - allows you to define not only different models, but different attributes like damage, abilities which will they will use and cases when like when health will reach some level use Ability 1, when it will drop below even lower level and use different Ability 2, etc., you can adjust all attributes which are present in the Stats, so sky is the limit.
-
Combat System - One of the most advanced element, it contains:
-
Skills - the player can have multiple skills combat and non-combat as well for gathering resources and craft items. Skills can be leveled and based on the level you can increase damage taken by abilities, or you can allow to craft or gather more powerful items and resources. Also, they can depend on each other, for example, to learn Meteor Shower your player would have to Improve his pyromancy skill to level 5 for example.
-
Abilities - they are responsible for conditions like who is the target, what attributes will be taken into account to calculate the output like (friendly effect has a 100% success rate, applying slow can have 50%, but damage physical or magical will be based on caster/target physical/magical damage/resistance parameters. You can define which skill can be leveled if you will use that ability, is it passive, what is the cost, it can be mana, health, like sacrifice health to refresh mana or use a new stat called stamina. You can also use reagent so your ability can check if you have some item in your backpack, like in order to use some Meteor Shower maybe you will need some fire potion or scroll, should it be consumed or not. You can also define who can be the target like a single target (enemy, self, friendly but not self, friendly) or group AoE enemy, AoE friendly (for example for health or buff abilities.
-
Effects - After checks in Abilities, the actual effect applies, like damage, what type of damage, fire, crash, pierce, etc. all is configurable. You can pick one of 20 effects like Damage, Restore, Revive, Stat, Stun, Sleep, Immune, Morph, Dispel, Teleport, Mount, Build Object, Teach Ability, Teach Skill, Task, Threat, Create Item, Create Item from List(Loot), Spawn, Set Respawn Location. Each has its own configuration and you can adjust it to your needs, for example, damage can be Physical or Magical, instant or over time with pulses or flat damage, can take damage like health but can reduce other “vitality” statistics like mana, for example for mana drain effects. You can adjust bonus effects, like if the caster has some buff on him then, in addition, apply some effect on the target. Or if the player has some divine power buff then his health will be stronger etc.
-
Coordinated Effects - this element allows you to configure VFX and SFX representation for combat, like particles, spawn objects when you are casting fireball then it should move from your casters hand towards your enemy, etc.
-
Grouping - you can limit your group members, you can invite, promote and kick. Also, some instances can be set as a group dungeon to allow only groups to enter, also an experience which you are getting for defeating mobs in the group is higher, but divided by group members.
-
Crafting - define your crafting recipes, crafting professions, stations, you can also define different variations as a result, like based on luck you can get Common Sword(100%), Magic Sword(50%), Rare Sword(10%), Legendary Sword(1%), but also you can adjust amount like 80% for 1 item, 30% for 2 items, 10% for 4 items and 1% for 10 items. Crafting can require specific crafting skill on a specific level.
-
Day & Night Weather Synchronization - Thanks to our partner Hendrik Haupt (author of Enviro Sky & Weather), Atavism has dedicated out of the box Enviro for Atavism Limited Edition (includes all Enviro features except Volumetric clouds and Volumetric lights). This system uses Adams Goodrich free WAPI integration, so you can use CTS or any terrain shader, or even Global Snow from Kronnect to cover your terrain and objects with snow, start falling snow from the sky and all synchronized between clients.
