We have great news! The important step that we have been moving towards in recent months has finally been taken - today we sent our project for review on Kickstarter! Thanks to everyone who has been with us all this time. There is still a lot of work ahead, and we hope for your support.

The planned date of publication of the Project in the public domain is April 18.

The most important thing is that a Prototype of the Game will finally be released on Kickstarter. Everyone will finally be able to see Morganica not only in the form of screenshots or the trailer, but also try it on their own! Its “zero” version is available to everyone. The project's backers will be able to monitor the development of the prototype and, accordingly, the game itself. Eight weeks, eight versions.

As soon as the Kickstarter campaign starts, we will notify you here and in all our socials so everyone who wants can support our project.

Since the Project will be published on Kickstarter, we will start actively working with potential investors and publishers. So if you are one of them, please contact us, we are open to suggestions.

That's all for now. Follow the news. Now there will be a lot more news, and we will start releasing it regularly.

How were the holidays? We have a lot of work to do. The guys in our Belgrade studio have started developing a multiplayer version of Morganica. It was decided to do it first.

The multiplayer events take place after the story that will be shown in the single. Morganica has already been freed from the power of the Demons of Evil. At the same time, there is an agreement with its former owners that obliges residents of the City to regularly supply them with human remains to feed the Corpse-Eater. And where to get fresh meat? For this, we have a Blood Harvest ritual.

But now participation in the Ritual is not obligatory. The city Council organized the League of Free Gladiators. Anyone, human, zombie or monster, who has an irresistible desire to kill and pack the remains of their enemies into black plastic bags, can join it.

The fighting takes place on the territory of the former Stomad city prison.

Why did we choose multiplayer to get started? After 4 years of working on the project, we have accumulated a lot of ideas and materials, and we realized that it is impossible to implement all this at once. We had to choose and prioritize. We chose multiplayer, as the most rational solution to implement at this point. We have come to the point when reality forces us to be realistic.

The combat location is currently “under construction”. The human meat sump unit is still in work. A demo version of the multiplayer part of the Morganica project will be implemented on its territory. Programmers have already started working and passed the first tests in early January, all successful.

The project will be published on Kickstarter soon. There will be a detailed description of what we plan to implement and how we hope to surprise you.

Follow the Morganica news. The project has moved from a long search for ideas to the production stage. We hope for your attention and support! Good luck to all of us!!!

We wish all of us new exciting Games. Ultimate Games. More kindness. More joy. More strength, for all of us. And more big black plastic bags for the remains of our enemies.…


These days, we are preparing to release part of the project on Kickstarter. A demo version of the multiplayer part of the Game is scheduled to be released by the end of February. 10 players will converge in a frenzy of ritual Blood Harvest.

I don't want anyone to feel cheated, and don't want anyone to think that we're cheaters. What are we doing and what to expect from our current work?

A demo version is being created to be presented to investors and the publishing company. Its gameplay and the mechanics used will be limited. We try to show the main features.

• Multiplayer carnage on the procedurally generated territory of Stomad Prison and CorpseEater Hall.
  
• So far, only 2 out of 10 players will be able to participate in the battle.
  
• Deathmatch Mode.
  
• Regeneration. This is the ability to upgrade your avatar with additional arms, legs, and eyes. With the bonuses resulting from such an upgrade.
  
• The opportunity to call an assistant - a friendly zombie who is ready to help, if the player has a valuable artifact - the Ice mold, so beloved by the undead.
  
• Various interactive location mechanics
  
• VR mode, in addition to the standard one.

The demo is being developed in our new studio in Belgrade. This year we would like to finish the work on the multiplayer part of the Morganica project and start the singleplayer one. Everything will be decided in the first half of this year. As always, we are confident of success.

We will keep you all informed. Your opinion and your support are very important to us.

And by the way… We have account in Bluesky now, please follow - https://morganicagame.bsky.social

Preparing for the release of the project on Kickstarter, we had to seriously think about which part of the entire Project would be announced for development in the first place.

Morganica, which has already taken 4 years to develop, today represents about a terabyte of text, graphics, video and game materials. This is a full-fledged world with its own history, large number of different characters and 12 locations. Each element has its own story. Its own purpose. The game is divided into single-player part and multiplayer. Where to begin?

We will start with the most interesting, in our opinion. From the multiplayer.

WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT MORGANICA MULTIPLAYER

1. Player can hire monster or zombie to help us. Of course, if we have enough ‘Ice’ for this. The bastards would do anything for this green mold. Their appearance at the most intense moment of a battle with ammunition or a first-aid kit is difficult to overestimate. The guys are good at shooting. And it can also be very useful.

2. If Players have lost a limb, one’s eye has been knocked out or our ears have been torn off, they go to the tramp Mad in the store of fresh human corpses of Enik and the dwarf Quig. There Players can buy themselves something to replace lost organs, and if the loot in the inventory allows, then they can sew on a couple of new ones. Who would give up the opportunity to run along walls, see 360 degrees or scan surroundings like a bat.

3. Killer, Bloody Packer, Ripper, The Sacrificer, The Priest or maybe a Demon. Who are you in this World? Rise up in the rating system by turning your friends into steaming plastic bags with human meat. Get another title.Fight with your own kind. Don't be pathetic! Dominate!

Is this enough to make the game interesting? What do you think about implementing these game mechanics? Maybe you have some ideas that you are ready to share?

Before starting to discuss the gameplay and mechanics, we need to briefly introduce the plot of the Game. A story told in a single-player part, as multiplayer covers only a small part of Game.

WHAT AWAITS US

How the Player finds himself in the mysterious Morganica can be found out from the comic book created by the talented Italian artist Valentina Testa (https://www.behance.net/valentinatesta ). Players can find it in the main game menu.

The events begin with Player’s arrival in the City. Getting to know the locals, one learns about the unenviable situation and, most importantly, the approaching grim ritual of the “Bloody Harvest". Every NPC Player meet strongly recommends preparing for it. To do this, we need to find a “patron” from local reputable insiders, people who were abducted from the World of the Living and became residents of Morganica.

Players are surprised to find that in addition to people, there is also a local population in the city - zombies and monsters, behaving surprisingly peacefully and even, sometimes, more friendly than real people. The reason for this behavior of the undead will be revealed later.

Having found a “patron”, Players receive a task, the fulfillment of which allows them to prepare for the Harvest. One already feels more confident, when time comes to turn our own kind into plastic bags with steaming flesh.

Between each Harvest, Players have time to immerse themselves in the inner life of Morganica. One can get a new assignment from a patron or agree to help someone from the locals. Or go explore the gloomy and mysterious City and try to get some answers. Each new task brings new experience, increases our authority, and opens up new secrets.

One day Players will find out that our appearance in this place is not accidental. Some mysterious force contributed to this, counting on our help. The goal is very noble and at the same time frighteningly difficult - to free the city from the power of Demons. If Players agree to this, new, dangerous, but exciting adventures await us.

The support of a mysterious force radically changes the situation in the City. Our “patrons” are forced to become our “partners". Those who used to make us feel unsafe offer us cooperation and support. Opportunities are opening up before us, the realization of which is gradually reflected throughout Morganica. The gloomy streets, corrupted by Evil, are gradually beginning to transform.

Suddenly we became quite famous. And this causes both respect and hatred among many. Life becomes more interesting, more fun and... more dangerous.

The intensification of life in the City could not go unnoticed by its Owners. But the time was already lost. People, zombies, monsters have united under the leadership of their Hero. During this difficult period for all residents of Morganica, the support of a mysterious force played a key role.

Having overcome all the difficulties, the Player finds himself one-on-one with his main enemy - the henchman of the Owners, the psychopath Ripper. It seemed that the fight with him would be decisive in the liberation of the City from Evil…

...but Evil is invincible. It can retreat for a while. It can try to negotiate. But its metastases always remain in what it once owned. So it will be with Morganica. But that's another story.…

The story of the mysterious City came to us from Ancient Times. The first mention of it is found in a 1400 manuscript found in the Vatican library by the chronicler Ramuel when studing the documents of Matius Semener. Matius was a famous alchemist who, according to his contemporaries, comprehended the mystery of the Philosopher's Stone. He also gave the name to this gloomy place - Morganica.

“Since the creation of the World, the Demons of Good and the Demons of Evil have been fighting irreconcilably for control over people.
Tired of the endless struggle, the Demons of Evil decided to use a trick. They sent a huge Serpent to the Earth, which entangled several cities with its body.

When a magic Spell was pronounced, everything that was inside the Serpent's body, with all the inhabitants, fell into the Other World, and the Serpent itself turned to stone. This is how the City of the Dead came to be. Morganica…”

Analysis of Matius' notes, as well as a more thorough study of the myths and legends described in his manuscripts, allowed the chronicler to form a more complete picture of the Mystery revealed to him.

Demons of Evil feed on people's negative emotions – fear, hatred and malice. Therefore, residents of the city are forced to participate in the “Blood Harvest”, the ritual in which “insiders”, people abducted from the World of the Living, must kill each other and feed the CorpseEater with their remains. The CorpseEater is a huge monster used by Demons to feed their physical shell…

In order to create an endless flow of negative emotions, in addition to people, Demons brought in the City zombies, monsters and werewolves.

Since human insiders are constantly dying, the priests of the Demons Cult kidnap the unfortunate from the World of the Living.

In 2021, the chronicler's notes fell into our hands. His work “Morganica. Feed them, or be their food” formed the basis of our Project.

This game is telling the story of one of those kidnaped people...

Why do we play games?

Forget, at least for a while, about the world around us, the people around us and our problems.
Have fun.

There are many reasons, but these two are the most important.

There are two game modes in Morganica - Single and Multiplayer. How do they differ? How are the Player's needs met?


Plot. An unknown, new, mysterious and frightening World. New friends. Treacherous enemies. Dangerous adventures. Fascinating riddles. The path to victory. Victory!

We have come up with, as it seems to us, a fascinating Story about a gloomy city created by Evil. For four years we have been looking for the right form of expression for it, which will make our Story the most interesting. We want to tell it in a really fascinating and interesting way. So that no one gets bored.

Innovative game mechanics based on the widespread use of neural network technologies allow us to immerse the Player more deeply into the World we have invented. We are paying lots of attention to this now.

In a series of subsequent articles, we will tell you more about the plot of Morganica. The adventures that await you. People, monsters and zombies who will become your assistants, reliable friends, treacherous and dangerous enemies.


Action with your friends. With people like you. The best cure for loneliness, the biggest problem of our time.

Some of the Founding Fathers of our company grew up on the legendary Doom. Our work was inspired by the legendary Quake 3 Arena. We are both conservative in our preferences and innovative in our approaches. This explains the technical solutions we have chosen, the gameplay and the game mechanics for multiplayer.

Do you want to escape from reality? Launch a game server on your PC and invite your friends. Have a fun time. Run, hide, shoot, rip off each other's heads, turn each other into pieces of steaming meat, kill each other with sophistication and taste. It's so much fun!

No friends? It's familiar. Post the invite on the game's information server and wait. You'll make new friends. From all over the world. Strangers at first. But you can be sure they're just as crazy as you are. Since they have Morganica installed and they came to your call, in some ways you are very similar.


While playing, we get out of the hateful reality. Morganica will give you this opportunity.

Single Player in Morganica is a fascinating story and adventure. You live a different life in it. With other people. Along with monsters, demons and zombies. There will be many of your new friends and enemies among them. It is interesting.

Multiplayer in Morganica is a bloody action with your real friends. With those who are close to you in spirit, share your views and interests. If there are no such people around you, Morganica will give you the opportunity to find them.

Two different modes. With the same purpose. Based on a single story. This is Morganica.

Help us tell this Story correctly and interestingly. Ask questions. Don't be shy, give us advice. Follow our news. We are doing our best. By the end of this year, we will launch the project on Kickstarter.

We need your help.

March 2021. Without a doubt, it was the time of the next heyday of VR technology and the total domination of Oculus Quest 2.
Concept of a new project was formed on the basis of the VR horror story we developed a few years before. The idea of a mobile game in the adventure genre was born, with elements of the action and horror-quest genres. That's how the Morganica was born.
By the end of the year, a prototype for the Quest 2 helmet was created, but in October 2021, everything changed dramatically.


Mark Zuckerberg's speech at the Facebook Connect conference on October 28, 2021 had a significant impact on the computer game industry, initiating several key changes and trends:

1. The concept of metaverses was formulated.
   
2. Everything is so serious that Facebook is becoming Meta.
   
3. Explosive growth of interest to VR
   
4. Metaverses, VR, bitcoin and NFT are the main trends of that time.

Then it seemed that all this was for a long time. The gaming market reacted instantly. Everyone seemed to have gone crazy.

After Zuckerberg's speech, the term "metaverse" began to be actively discussed in the context of various games such as Fortnite and Roblox. This led to the fact that many gaming companies began to view their projects through the lens of the metaverse, which contributed to the growing interest in this concept.

In response to the growing interest in metaverses, companies such as Epic Games have begun to actively invest in creating their own virtual worlds. For example, Epic Games raised $1 billion to support its vision of the metaverse, which highlighted the seriousness of the intentions of major players in this area.

Mark Zuckerberg's speech became a catalyst for a paradigm shift in the gaming industry, initiating an active discussion and development of the concept of the metaverse. This has influenced companies' investment strategies, approaches to game development, and the creation of new economic models within virtual worlds.

What was happening could not but affect the overall concept of Morganica. From a single-player game, the project has transformed into a multiplayer virtual city. The single-player version remained, but turned into a marketing tool to attract attention to multiplayer. VR remained, but as an option. The ability to complete the game and then visit a virtual City using a monitor, keyboard and mouse is very important for expanding the audience.

After a short pause, we started the second version of Project Morganica.


From March 2022 to August 2023, Morganica was finding its new face. As a result, by the end of the summer of 2023, we have almost completed the single-user demo. It was possible to visit the City, learn its history, get acquainted with key characters, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Project. At that time, we were already actively working on social networks. We launched the project page on Steam. We talked with representatives of major gaming companies. We demonstrated our achievements and received feedback.

Based on our communication with representatives of Riot Games and correspondence with one of the founders of a well-known New York venture fund specializing in gaming projects, it was decided to raise the quality of demonstration materials and to develop a new presentation. And first of all, we need a high-quality video. A trailer or a game cinematics. August 2023 was devoted to the adjustment of plans and in early September we started work.


Are you aware that from 2022 to the present day, the share of queries on the topic of generative AI in Google search results has increased by almost 700%?

The global AI solutions market is expected to grow from $137.7 billion in 2023 to more than $1 trillion by 2030, which corresponds to an average annual growth rate of about 33.8%. 7.5 times growth in seven years!

While working on Morganica Cinematics, we continued to follow trends in the gaming and technology markets. It is obvious that we are experiencing another decline in interest in VR technologies and in general in the metaverse. At the same time, the market is experiencing an explosive growth in the capabilities of generative neural network services. What is happening made us think about the chosen direction of the Project development.

Market analysis. A realistic assessment of the available opportunities and our goals. Calculation of budgets and deadlines required for the implementation of our plans. The emergence of a large number of very useful and effective tools based on AI. New ideas based on the use of neural network services. All this has led to the need to reconsider the concept we have chosen. And we reviewed it.


Two modes:

• Singleplayer, with a first-person view, in the horror-adventure genre. It includes action fragments of the Blood Harvest ritual, between which the Player follows the plot of the Game and can take part in additional missions in the horror-quest genre, collecting artifacts and weapons.
  
• Multiplayer is a Blood Harvest ritual from the storyline single-player version, inspired by the gameplay of the legendary Quake 3 Arena.

And also:

• In-game market for artifacts, weapons, skins and other useful items.
  
• Retention mechanics and procedural generation of combat locations are widely used.
  
• The latest achievements in the field of neural network technologies in the creation of key NPCs.
  
• Two modes - standard and VR.

That's what Morganica is today.

We are currently working on refining the cinematics. We are working on the basic gameplay. We are launching a new PR campaign for the project on our social networks. We are preparing a website update. The analysis of the new tools is carried out. The necessary staff are being selected for the upcoming pre-production stage. At the end of this year, we plan to launch the project on Kickstarter.

More than ever in these three years, we need questions, advice and comments from our subscribers. Adherents of Morganica. Interested observers of our work.

We hope for your help. Your interest. Your participation.

An important characteristic of the attractiveness of successful game projects is variability - the possible number of options for the development of the game plot, gameplay, in response to certain actions of the Player.
The variability of the Game directly affects the timing and, accordingly, the cost of its development, which often determines the limitations of the proposed possible options.

Is there a way out? There is.


The Intelligent State Machine (ISM) is a generative neural network.

ISM has complete information about both the Game (virtual) World, stores and uses information about the physical, semantic and cognitive parameters of all game components, and collects and analyzes the current state of the Real World.

By accepting descriptions of their virtual avatars from Players, ISM stores and takes this data into account in the future, when creating their virtual images, forming internal cause-and-effect relationships that determine the current gameplay.


Full moon. The locals, zombies and monsters (NPCs), fall into a poorly controlled aggressive state. Insiders (players) on this day need to be more vigilant and refrain from communicating with the locals.

The day before the events described, insider N3564 (player), exploring a closed area near the barracks of the City Guard (NPC), accidentally seriously injures Colonel Jamid (NPC) (an initially unpredictable event). Reports are spreading through the internal insider network that the Guards have left the city blocks and locked up in their barracks, apparently to clarify the situation and reconnoiter.
The Demons of Evil (NPCs), the former Owners of the City, decide to take advantage of the situation and open a portal through which gangs of Priests (NPCs) enter the City in order to regain power over the City. This becomes known from an emergency appeal from the mayor of the City.

Mayor and the “city self-defense committee” headed by him, calls on all insider clans to take up arms, stand up for protection and clean up their urban areas. Additionally, an urgent recruitment of volunteers is announced for a detachment under the control of armorer Mad (NPC), who goes to the abandoned tunnels of the city subway for rare artifacts that reduce the aggressiveness of local residents, so that they can act as assistants in the liberation of the City from gangs of Priests…

The development of further events is constructed by ISM on the basis of a clear dramatic structure, but its development is constantly adjusted by initially unpredictable events caused by the actions of individual players and the responses of NPCs with their own behavioral patterns embedded in the cognitive agents that control them (D2NCA).


The above example and its implementation, to date, are still under development. Nevertheless, understanding the existing ways of implementation, the described goals and the tasks at hand, allows us to be confident in the realism of our plans.
For Players, this means increasing the playability of the project, ensuring an unsurpassed variability of events, and the unpredictability of in-game life.
