Creator Chronicle Puts a Game Developer Inside His Own MMO
The game's Conqueror difficulty makes guild members permanent losses when they die or quit, turning the simulation into a management test where hired adventurers behave like real players.

Origin Studio showed Creator Chronicle at Busan Indie Connect Festival 2026. The PC game casts the player as a game developer pulled into his own creation, who must rebuild a burnt village as a guild master. It blends guild management simulation with MMORPG-style systems, including four races, eight classes, and side-view auto-battle dungeon raids.
Creator Chronicle is Origin Studio's first release, built by a team of five over the past year and a half. Studio founder Lee Hyoguen said the team went independent after his prior work at Nexon and Gravity, and the game survived about six prototypes made after leaving.
The simulation side draws on Adventure Dungeon Village, the RPG side on the Legend of Heroes series, and the MMORPG systems on World of Warcraft. Lee said the studio researched sales data on 6,000 Steam games from 2025 before settling on a simulation with RPG elements.
