Early Access: I Immediately Broke Dura Vita


I’m so sorry.

Dura Vita is a Unity-based MMORPG that just hit early access today and one of the first things I did in-game was to break it. I swear it was unintentional. After logging in I found myself in the starting room with another player and an NPC. Both of us approached the NPC and presumably ran through the dialogue options one by one.

Then both of us made a beeline toward the door and simultaneously tried opening it. The door opened on my fellow player, pinning him to the wall, and shut again. So I slammed the F key to try to get it to open and it opened again and immediately shut before I could get in.

Then the door stopped working and we were trapped inside.

Dura Vita is a game being developed by a single person and this is literally day one of early access, so I hope nobody interprets this article as me bashing the game. It’s usually not this quickly that I break a game for myself and those around me.
