Shatterwake Ascension: Gameplay

Gameplay

Take Vicious Mockery. On tabletop, it often leads to improvised hilarity. In CRPGs, it is reduced to a generic sound effect.

Shatterwake’s AI forges fresh taunts matching dice roll, context, enemy look, and your bardic talents, then voices them live.

The same magic upgrades 70+ SRD 5.2 skills and abilities. From Insight to Minor Illusion, all checks yield unscripted narrative.

AI-Drıven 5E Mechanıcs

Each adventurer awakens on a shard; a floating landmass where homesteads, citadels, and shrines rise from imagination.

Fuse shard fragments to expand your island or to move in with friends while keeping every crafted wall and garden intact.

Wake-tethers connect shards. Visit neighbors; trade, fight, explore. Reroll the connection for a dynamic world map.

Shard Fusıng

Even player driven MMO economies are based on pre-designed game items. Shatterwake is the first full emergent game economy.

Players invent every item from scratch. Choose its function, name it, shape it, bring it into the game.

Our Economy Agent supports the invention by generating 3D models and balancing recipes and powers across 35 professions.

Players vote on these creations. Only the most renowned artisans rise to the top of their professions.

Master craftsmen can forge the most powerful relics and even ascend to godhood, becoming part of Shatterwake’s living lore.

Emergent Economy

Combat in Shatterwake is turn-based, staying faithful to 5e while enabling LLMs to control NPC tactics and decision-making.

Most encounters will be designed around parties of 5; any mix of real players and AI companions. PvP battles are fought in 5v5.

To avoid slow pacing, we adapted SRD 5.2 for simultaneous turns which resolve movement and actions in separate phases.

Smart Combat

After you create your character and background, our Narrative Agent crafts a unique, evolving story arc just for you.

It tracks your dialogue, introduces NPCs, and generates quests with tailored stories, objectives, and rewards during gameplay.

The Level Design Agent transforms these quests into encounters or dungeons, ready for you to explore and complete.

Taılored Quests

Shards can be fused to host up to 5 players and 30 companions, supporting villages, estates, and thriving communities.

Unlike voxel or prefab systems, Shatterwake lets you generate building segments entirely from imagination.

This allows you to create structures and towns with any style or atmosphere, then decorate them freely to match your vision.

Segments are invented under professions. Structures are designed by architects in build mode, then constructed in game by NPCs.

Our tech demos already proved this generative building system to be playable, intuitive, and fun.

Generatıve Buıldıng

Classic 5e levels expand into 200 tiers. Shards, NPCs, dungeons, professions, and items will also scale 200 levels.

Characters live one to two real years depending on race, and can marry, have children, and build lasting legacies.

Progression is tied to shard, belongings, history, professions, and family name, all passed to future generations through heirs.

Progressıon

Utilize Level Design Agent tools and generative building to host custom dungeons and encounters within your shard.

Multiple players can connect to your shard in “offline mode” to experience these PvE challenges at any time.

As a profession, top Dungeon Masters earn rare perks and recognition for exceptional creations.

Vıbe Dungeon Mastery

Each wake-tether roll connects you to a new shard, revealing a host player’s village, NPCs, resources, and adventures.

Visit host towns, speak with NPC occupants, and interact with host players directly if they are online.

Accept organically emerging quests or tackle dungeons crafted by the host for visiting adventurers.

Copy blueprints of host-created inventions or purchase unique items directly through player-to-player trade.

Every shard offers a distinct mix of resources, encounters, and PvE/PvP opportunities for social interaction and collaboration.

Socıally Grounded Exploratıon

Economy Agent generates resources during player inventions and distributes them across biomes based on type and difficulty.

Gather or grow raw resources, refine them, then craft consumables, equipment, or building segments using blueprints.

Trade invented blueprints, items and resources directly or through vending machines. Auction house will arrive in future.

Inspect other players’ creations and add blueprints to your crafting book depending on profession levels.

Gatherıng And Tradıng

Choose one of nine 5e alignments and pledge loyalty to a deity; approval may bring divine whispers and guidance.

Even secular characters earn rewards when the Narrative Agent sees consistent roleplay aligned with your chosen morality.

Max-level characters or professions can submit “God-templates,” defining traits, quirks, and a virtualized personal or chosen voice.

Other players may pledge to player Gods; the most engaging become widely worshipped, immortalizing their creators.

AI MINUS THE HYPE

Game industry loves a good hype cycle; blockchain, metaverse, VR. The buzz fades before yielding a unique experience. We chose a different path. Rather than chasing concepts with no clear audience, we decided to use AI to revolutionize an already-cherished experience for a vibrant community.

SRD 5.2 and generative AI is a great combination. Tabletop RPG thrives on open the endedness of language. CRPGs trimmed that imaginary freedom to fit pre-scripted worlds. AI lets us give it back. By enhancing 5e mechanics, empowering NPCs, and letting players co-create our world, Shatterwake utilizes AI for an unprecedented MMORPG experience.

This ambition demands a live service business model. But we’ve worked hard to limit our scope to ship a feasible, focused MMORPG. We hope it will be worthy of the stories you’ll tell within it.
