Who is building this
For now, one person and a lot of late nights.
Founder · Developer
Leonard Boord
Some of you know me as November Falls. Turn the card to read the brief.
Who I am
Father, husband, builder
Father of three, married to the most wonderful person in the world, and tired of the MMORPG genre not giving us what we deserve.
By day I manage IT, systems, automations and AI. By night I code, develop and build: Plexar, Fellwake and whatever else keeps me up.
My goal is to bring to life a truly gritty, click-to-move, PvP-forward MMORPG where the old-school nostalgia comes back to life. It won't be easy, and I will need your help to do it.
Why Fellwake
Lineage 2 never left me
I grew up playing Lineage 2. I remember losing items, killing raid bosses, and PvP both small and large scale. The truth is that most games simply are not delivering on that in a great way.
My goal is to build for the PvP refugees who have an itch they need to scratch: the feeling of progression they want, the feeling of brothers through suffering.
The state of the genre
Where everyone else went
You might say World of Warcraft does it well. WoW has largely given up the old-school risk of PvP and leaned into being a PvE game that happens to have PvP.
Final Fantasy XIV: I don't think anyone can compete with their sound and lore teams. They are arguably the best on the planet, and kudos to them. But they suffer from the same issue. They focused on PvE, and PvP is an afterthought.
Guild Wars 2 has great siege mechanics, and its realm-versus-realm-versus-realm warfare is an amazing feature in gaming. But it has become stale and dated, and it hasn't gotten the love it deserves, because they too are catering to the PvE community.
New World has been cut. Ashes failed. I don't want to talk about Star Citizen. EVE Online is probably the best in breed, but it fills the space niche.
The promise
A PvP game at its core
PvE will be in the game, and it will matter. But this is a PvP game at its core, and it will be balanced around PvP.
Please keep in mind that I am building toward an MVP: something small, a teaser of sorts. It is going to take time to get there.
I welcome you to join me on that journey. I hope we arrive there together, and I depend on you, the PvP community, to keep me honest and on course.
Stay savage.

Join the team
Looking for a 3D modeler, an animator and a VFX artist
The team is one person today. Fellwake is looking for an active 3D modeler, an animator and a VFX artist. If that's you, message novemberfalls on Discord with your portfolio.
Fellwake has no funding today. A GoFundMe and a Kickstarter are coming soon to help crowdfund it. Till then, everything you see in the game is provisional. It is not how it will be on launch day.
