MakeShift is an open world, multiplayer adventure created in the spirit of classic monster collecting games such as the Pokemon Series. The core feature of MakeShift is the discovery and collection of new creatures in the wild. As you explore the world, you will encounter unique creatures and attempt to control them to fight for you. Combat in MakeShift is in realtime as opposed to turn-based and the game world is online, meaning you will work with, or against, other players to accomplish your objectives.

Game Features

♦ Tons of creatures to hunt and collect
♦ Realtime, strategic combat - focused on timing and combinations rather than just numbers alone
♦ Vast, open world to explore - No restrictions or forcing players to follow paths
♦ Mythical World - Rich lore, backstory, and mysteries to uncover
♦ Player-driven objectives - Features an optional, non-linear story
♦ Deep and intricate crafting system

The Story

The Architects are a species with limited fighting capabilities, but they are master alchemists and artisans. Years ago, they were driven from their homeland by invaders, and they sought refuge in the nearby forests. It is here that they stumbled upon the Celestial Tree, a powerful, ancient structure that stimulated new growth around itself. Through time, the Architects fused their natural alchemic powers with that of the tree's and were able to create new life forms, some very deadly in combat.

A movement began, to raise an army and reclaim the lands that were taken from them. A rift formed in the Architect community, some believing that their newly created allies should be used to protect their new sanctuary, while others thought only of vengeance. Two factions with these very different ideologies were formed, the dignified Order and bloodthirsty Legion.

Many creatures now run rampant throughout the wild and it is your calling to bring them under your control and secure victory for your cause. As an Architect, torn between two worlds, you will be thrust into a new life of conflict, magic, and mystery.

Crafting is a big part of MakeShift. Before they were able to control Minions, the Architects were highly skilled artisans and relied on their ability to create for survival.

This is the almighty crafting grid in MakeShift. It is the ultimate device in creating new items.

The Basics:

- Any material usable in the crafting process can be placed into the grid at any position.

- After the first material is placed, any additional materials placed will form a green link between each other if they form part of a valid item composition.

- After experimenting and creating a complete item, the link colors will change. Then, you can click create item and see what you get, or you can continue adding additional components to create more complex items. The link colors will change yet again when you have created a tier 2 item, and so on.

- There are recipes in the game, obtainable either from common knowledge, found in the game world, or taught by some wise man in a cave. However, recipes are not required to create the items and full experimentation is encouraged.

- Crafting an item has an inherent chance to fail. However, if you have both the recipe and the recommended level when crafting a particular item, there is no chance of failure. So, for expensive materials, it is best to use them in some kind of recipe to get the most out of them. For common materials, heavy experimentation is encouraged. Another reason you would want the recipe and recommended level for crafting a particular item is if you are planning to merchant that item.

- Craftable items include potions, armor, orbs to enchant items, bags, and nearly any other useful items you can think of.

- The grid actually has the dual purpose of breaking down complete items down into their components. This ability is part of the Alchemy skill and a higher Alchemy level will allow you to break down higher quality items and obtain a higher return of materials when doing it.

This information is likely to raise some questions. If you do have a question, please comment and I'll be happy to answer!
