Hi and welcome to Islands Of War blog. My name is Jacques Rossouw and I’m the Project Lead for the upcoming game developed by Neojac Entertainment. My experience is in the graphic and marketing side with over 15 years under my belt but nothing in the game industry. Neojac entertainment consist of a few indie developers that are actually just players like you who decided to develop a game on the Multiverse platform.
As many of us would love to develop our own MMO game but lack the funding or experience to work for a company that has funding, it has always just stayed a dream until now. The Multiverse platform have given indie developers like us a chance to make that dream come true. The platform is free to use and only when you start making money from something developed on it , they take a percentage royalty from it.
With allot of hard work from us we are finally at the brink of saying we did it. Many of the team members that is working on the project has day time jobs and thus work up to 16 hour days combining the day job and the time spend to develop Islands Of War. Up to now the only fruits of our labor is seeing players who is playing the game enjoying it.
Islands Of War is currently in closed beta testing and like any other game we have been having our fair share of bugs popping up everywhere, luckily we have the right armor and weapons equipped to counter and destroy them. The closed beta testing is moving ahead very nice and we are inviting more and more registered players into the world on a weekly basis.
You can visit us at www.islandsofwar.com
Well that’s it for now, till our next blog release.
Jacques
Sounds interesting, the title makes me think of many options and possibilities. It would be great if you could give me a link to a site with more info on the game.... I am hoping it is leaning towards MMORTS, but that is wishful thinking :) Thank you

Tue May 26 2009 6:23PMI have a few things to say.
Tue May 26 2009 6:25PMFirst, I have never heard of Island Of War before and was actually suprised to hear it has reached CBT already. (the interview by ONRPG was not posted yet on ONRPG website)
Second, a link to the game's website would've been appreciated. But for those who wish to visit the website here's the url : http://www.islandsofwar.com
As a new blog, I think that many key informationss were missing especially since you posted on a website that covers all mmos (including hello kitty online as bad as it may sound). So a bit more informations without going too much into the details would've been appreciated.
Details exemples would've been key informations such as transaction mode (Free To Play, Pay To Play, Pay To Play with a Free Zone). Some key or unique features that Island Of War has to offer would've been appreciated too and while I know you that you probably intended to talk about those in later blogs, it's a good way for players to tell wether they should keep on following this blog or just skip it.
After looking around the website, I realise that not much information were given either (see paragraph above) and there seems to be no in-game footage or trailer but only screenshots, which I find a bit disappointing again.
Hopefully those questions will be answered in your next blog :)
