Intention Entertainment has announced the beta launch of World’s Edge, a new fantasy action RPG experience on Roblox.
This marks the first original intellectual property game from Intention Entertainment, and it introduces players to Astraeusa, a universe with multiple inhabited worlds that is currently in the midst of turmoil caused by an unknown enemy. It is up to the player to travel through these worlds and stop this enemy before it is too late.
“It’s s story-driven action RPG,” he said. “The players have the task of helping a fantasy world where the magic is slipping away from the world and the people aren’t sure why,” Mixon said. “The players are thrown in as the heroes in this realm that needs saving. If you like this and the action RPG experience, this is the perfect game for you to try.”
The small team made the game in about nine months.
“I’ve tried a lot of games and worked on a lot of games for partners, and I’ve worked on a lot of role-playing games,” Mixon said. “I’ve never done what I consider to be a full RPG experience before. And that’s what’s exciting now. I want to take the platform by storm with a game that is harder to develop. We want to put our stamp on the platform in a way that no one else has.”
The Los Angeles-based developers hope this could be the kind of experience that Roblox players could gobble up. After all, it was made by a team that grew up on Roblox, led by Josh Mixon, president of the company. The company raised a small angel round and it has two employees and two contractors.
The oldest member of the team is 26, and Mixon himself is 24. One member is still in college.
