RuneScape co-creator Andrew Gower is breaking new ground in gaming with his latest project, Brighter Shores, which aims to transform the traditional MMO experience by introducing innovative AFK automation features. The game promises to tackle the repetitive grind often associated with the genre, offering players a more streamlined and flexible gameplay experience.

A Game-Changing Approach
As reported by Gamesradar+, Gower unveiled his vision for Brighter Shores, highlighting its unique blend of idle and active gameplay mechanics. The game allows players to automate mundane tasks like mining, empowering them to delegate manual labor to their digital avatars while they focus on other activities or even while they sleep.
Gower emphasizes that this approach not only caters to players who find certain tasks monotonous but also accommodates those with limited free time. By automating repetitive tasks, Brighter Shores ensures that players can progress in the game without sacrificing their real-life commitments or staying up late to grind for resources.
Balancing Automation with Player Engagement
Despite the introduction of AFK automation, Gower assures that Brighter Shores remains committed to providing engaging gameplay experiences. The game offers a diverse range of activities and regularly updates the most efficient options to prevent gameplay from becoming stagnant.
Moreover, Gower acknowledges that while automation can expedite progress, manually completing tasks often yields superior rewards. This strategic balance ensures that players remain actively involved in the game while still benefiting from the convenience of automation.
Brighter Shores is set to launch on PC via Steam later this year, offering both free-to-play access and premium passes for additional quests and exclusive features.
