Bellwright game development history
Bellwright is a game developed by the independent studio Donkey Crew, previously known for the Last Oasis project. The game is an adventure RPG with survival elements that allows players to participate in building and managing settlements in a medieval world. Development of the game began with the ambition to create something unique within the genre, using the experience the team had gained from working on Last Oasis and their previous projects.
Donkey Crew began as a small team around a modding project for Mount & Blade, which has allowed them to gain considerable experience in creating large-scale and dynamic game worlds. This experience proved extremely useful in the development of Bellwright, where creating an open world with a realistic ecosystem and complex socio-economic relationships was a key element.
A key feature of the development was the close connection with the player community. Donkey Crew actively interacted with users through social media, forums and the Discord channel, collecting feedback and suggestions that helped shape the direction of the game. This approach allowed the developers to more precisely customize the gameplay and interface elements, making them as convenient and understandable as possible for players.
Bellwright graphics
Bellwright's graphic design is highly detailed and realistic. The game was developed using modern visualization technologies, which allowed us to create a vibrant and convincing medieval world. A special feature of the graphics is thoughtful lighting and texturing, which creates depth and atmosphere in each location of the game.
Bellwright's visual style combines elements of historical accuracy and artistic expression. The designers paid great attention to both the architecture of the settlements and the appearance of the characters and their clothing. This allows players to immerse themselves deeper into the game world and feel like they are part of it.
The dynamic weather system and the cycle of day and night not only affect the graphical perception of the world, but also play a key role in the gameplay, influencing the behavior of NPCs and the availability of certain tasks or resources.
Bellwright game engine
Bellwright is developed based on the Unreal Engine, which made it possible to fully realize the team’s ambitious ideas for creating an open world with a high level of interactivity and detail. The use of this engine ensures high performance and excellent graphics quality, which is especially important for games where visuals are required. History of Bellwright game development

Our video cards were tested at resolutions of 1920x1080 , 2560x1440 and 3840x2160 with maximum graphics quality settings.
| GPU TEST |
In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920x1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.
At a resolution of 1920x1080, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX 6600 or GeForce RTX 2060 level . A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the Radeon RX 6600 XT or GeForce RTX 2060 level . A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by Radeon RX 6950 XT or GeForce RTX 4070 solutions .
