Stormcloud Creations is proud to announce Arcadia: Guild of Heroes (aka The Arcadia Project), the very first fully community funded, community-assisted from the ground up PC game ever attempted.

The project includes a special forum for pre-order users where they can play actual builds of the game and suggest ideas as its being created.

The project is in the beginning stages now, with several builds already having been released to raves by dozens of gamers all over the world already participating.

The title itself is a management game with a role-playing game sensibility. You can recruit heroes, view detailed stats on their abilities, age, birthday, height, weight, everything. Build a party of adventurers and send them on dangerous quests in search of riches. You help guide and nurture them through their adventuring careers, healing them and building their skills, and characters age and eventually retire.

"This project is aiming to change the way games are developed," states CEO/Lead Designer Derek DiBenedetto.

"This is a special opportunity for gamers to help shape the design of a PC game from its very roots, and the possibilties truly are endless."
