8 races.

2 factions.

6 classes.

Important decisions.

Over the next weeks we will release info on the 8 playable races in Mist’s metaverse. As we get closer to the Demo date, we will release more Lore and history of the races.

Each race is distinct, with special abilities, special strengths, and weaknesses. Each race has 2 genders, male and female.

The race you choose will determine your gameplay style. It will determine your friendships. It will determine your personality, and persona in-game.

This week we will highlight The Dwarves.

The Dwarves

Dwarves are the 4th race we want to share with you. After weeks of development, fine-tuning, re-designing, and re-animating the Dwarf is ready to go.

Dwarves are hearty, tough, and strong. They are a race that you don’t want to make angry.

Dwarves have special healing and damage bonuses against friends and enemies with higher health than them. Some of their attacks can hit twice, and they also have damage-reducing abilities. There are, of course, other special abilities as well.

The Design Process

The Dwarven race was a race we were excited to put in, as a tough and hearty race. The goal was to make the dwarf look tough, wild, and like a small guy who can tear you to pieces if you make him angry.

We started with a shorter body, and wanted to give him strong arms, and a large beard.

We can see the first mockups of the dwarf above. His body is beginning to take shape. His arms are larger in comparison to the rest of his body. His torso is big, and his beard stands out.

At this point, the face is still undefined and the body is still lacking any details.
