New EverQuest Next Landmark screens show "a few hours" of building

EverQuest Next Landmark - Keep

Look at this and start dreaming. Director of Development David Georgeson has been playing with EverQuest Next Landmark's voxel building tools and tweeting the smooth results: a lovely little keep he says he built in "a few hours."

EQ Next Landmark, if you don't recall, is this winter's free-to-play precursor to the further off EverQuest Next. It's an MMO, but it's more like Minecraft than EQ: players will claim a plot of land and use the voxel tools developed for EverQuest Next to build anything they want. In contrast with Minecraft-style voxel games, however, the tools can be used to sculpt organic shapes and spheres.

Georgeson's keep is a bit bare, but if that's a few hours of work, I must know what 100 hours of work looks like. Browse our previous stories on Landmark for more screens and videos.
