Evaluation

The developer has explicitly stated in the store description that as of January 5, 2022, World Seed Classic is no longer being developed or maintained. The game was rebranded from "World Seed" to "World Seed Classic" to make room for a successor game. The store page makes clear this version exists purely for nostalgic purposes, allowing players to experience the original version of the game. No further updates have been published since early 2021, which is consistent with the developer's closure announcement. The game received six content updates between March 2020 and February 2021, but all development activity ceased more than a year before the official end-of-development notice in January 2022.

Evidence

Developer explicitly states: 'As of 01/05/2022 this game is no longer developed and maintained.' The game was rebranded from World Seed to World Seed Classic and exists for nostalgic purposes only.

About this game

No further development of classic

As of 01/05/2022 this game is no longer developed and maintained. Previously World Seed Classic went under the name "World Seed" but was rebranded to make room for the actual World Seed.

This game exists mainly for nostalgic purposes and allows you, the player, to experience the early World Seed.

As soon as the new World Seed is launched, we'll inform you about it here. This is expected to happen in February of 2022.

Differences in features

This list includes features that exists in the new World Seed and not this version.

Hexagon world map (movement in 6 different directions rather than 4)
Infinite worlds (you can travel & progress your characters indefinitely)
Visual & mechanical combat improvements (you will now fight X versus X rather than only 1 versus 1)
DFC- & gearscore-levels (tier levels I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX & X still exists - but has other use cases)
Tier perks (each equipment can be customised to allow for your own playstyle)
Form a party yourself (rather than playing only 1 character at a time you can play 4)
More trophies, creatures, equipment, quests, dungeons & locations to discover!

Laid back gameplay

World Seed Classic is heavily inspired by tabletop board games. Grab a few friends, sit back and relax!

The core gameplay lets you move around on a world-board, clearing out tile after tile. Either for crafting materials, epic battles with creatures or just to simply explore the world. Every hour the world of World Seed Classic re-shapes with new content.

In World Seed Classic you will:

fight other players
craft & upgrade your gear
complete quests for various rewards
run dungeons with other players
collect trophies
level up by increasing your tier
find and collect seeds to open up new worlds

If you like MMOs, RPGs, roguelikes or simply character progression World Seed is probably for you!

A dream come true

World Seed Classic is my first game ever made. My vision is to provide a vast world with loot and challenges for you to overcome.

As the sole developer of the game I've been working on it every day since its start, 26th of June 2019. My goal is to keep adding features to the game based on what the community would like to see.
