Failbetter Games have launched a shiny redesign of Fallen London, the browser-based alt-history Victoriana horror RPG which spawned Sunless Sea then Sunless Skies. Failbetter final up to date the location’s look in 2009, once I’m undecided computer systems even had got here in color? Now it seems to be fancier and it really works higher on totally different display screen sizes too, so I suppose you may fill your pocket phone with horrors and oddities.
The new web site is now live. Here, examine the identical display screen from the old with the new. Don’t thoughts the curious new good friend I’ve made.
Along with the brand new look, it now makes use of HTTPS to be safer, and the location mechanically scales to suit the display screen measurement, so it’s as house on PC as it’s on no matter else you’ve acquired. Failbetter are closing the sport’s cell app, partly as a result of the brand new web site makes it much less mandatory and partly as a result of it was wonky.
Failbetter explain that the redesign was long-overdue.
“Fallen London is gorgeous however outdated – we’ve not likely modified its look because it was launched eight years in the past. We know that’s a part of its appeal and provides to the environment, however we felt it actually wanted a brand new lick of paint.
“For the game’s long-term health and future, we need to modernise the aesthetics. We want it to be fresh and accessible to all, particularly to new players. Fallen London is a large and complex game – the cramped interface can be hard on the eyes, and the Myself page can be overwhelming, especially for non-veterans.”
They are nonetheless making tweaks and fixing a number of issues, however that is largely its new type.
But hey, look, Fallen London is prettier. Our dearly-departed Adam has written earlier than about his time in the subterranean London, and Cobbo delighted in a long and harrowing quest which made quiet clear you’d lose everything.
Fallen London is free-to-play through its site. Failbetter promote plenty of additional for actual money (by means of a microtransaction foreign money), in addition to elective subscriptions with additional tales and different perks, and have an possibility to purchase extra of the motion factors which restrict our actions. But it’s a sport one can fortunately play with out paying hundreds.
