Wonderking 101: The User Interface

Last time we talked about the basic controls of the game. Now we shall focus on the game’s UI or the user interface.

The user interface is actually the most essential part of a game, which practically serves as a guide for players in gaming adventures. In wonderking, the UI was designed to ensure easy access to most settings for those who are still not used to the keymap. A screenshot below will give you a sample on what to expect on the game’s interface.

Exclusive Interview with Ryusoft Phils Inc General Manager, Mr. Jaeho Lee.

We are very pleased to share with you our discussion with the Ryusoft Phils Inc General Manager,Mr. Jaeho Lee, about Wonderking Online and its release in the Philippines. This interview was a first and exclusively made for the Philippine audience.

1. Could you give us a brief introduction of what Wonderking online is?

Wonderking Online is a 2d side-scrolling game by RyuSoft Korea. The game has a very interesting story taking place as players battle Zero Force and its leader, Barlon. With its story, players will also experience great features in the game including our crafting system which gives you a chance to create new things.

2. We are aware that RyuSoft is known for developing 2D games, what made you decide to tackle the MMORPG scene and create Wonderking?

RyuSoft’s passion is creating online games. We’ve noticed that a huge number of players take interest in playing games with cute designs and characters. In creating Wonderking Online, we targeted to make this game an adventurous MMO suitable for all audiences. With our common interest to provide a great new game and the passion given by our development team, Wonderking Online was born.

3. Wonderking Online is soon to be published in the Philippines, what are the challenges that your company is facing right now?

The Philippines has a very good game culture, and we want to share our game in this country. The biggest challenge and our company’s aim is player satisfaction by giving them excellent service and game we can assure that Filipino players will enjoy playing our game

4. We know that most games published in the Philippines are based on 3d engines, are there any special features or advantages a 2d side-scrolling game has that would attract players who are used to playing 3d games?

2d side-scrollers have numerous advantages in a game compared to 3d games. One of which is generating better detail in graphics. The other is that we can add more and more features into the game without the need of sacrificing computer requirements of players.

5. One of the few concerns of players is the system requirements of a single game. Will the game require lower system requirements?

Wonderking has lower requirements than most games. This gives an advantage since more players can play this game without thinking if this game can be played with their current systems.

6. Within the game, how is Wonderking based? Is it quest-based wherein players must do quests in order to speed up their leveling? Or can players also grind their way up to a next level without taking so much time doing quests?

The game offers both features, but it is more advantageous to do quests since it provides more interest in the game and gives more experience points than just grinding. You may also earn experience points faster in grinding if players form parties in the game.

7. What are the next improvements and patches our Filipino audiences have to watch out for? Are there expected changes as the game progresses?

We are expecting a huge update from RyuSoft Korea that will make changes in Wonderking. The update will include stronger skills, adding more quests for players to enjoy, and the pvp system will also be included in the update.
