It looks good, however my DnL radar is going off. Believe it when I see it.

Designer of Systems

Hmm.

On the plus side:

  • it's not yet another fantasy combat game
  • nice-looking (apparently fractal-generated) world
  • some marketing-speak about being designed from a player-style perspective

On the negative side:

  • looks like a strong focus on combat -- where's any hint of crafting features?
  • in-game currency sales
  • hyped as a way to generate stories for novels and (supposedly) a movie

In particular, follow the main site's link to the developer's (Stainglass Llama) web site, then click on the "executive pitch" Word document. It's replete with misspellings; it seems to have been adapted from a pitch to a particular financier; and it talks about the game world as holding crash survivors who lose technology and must deal with "magic and religion." Hah?

Hmm again....

Ex SWG players it looks like

Star Wars Galaxies was one of the most highly anticipated mmorpg every wrought, but fell horribly short of player expectations. Immediately after launch, SWG had an estimated 100,000 subscribers, and within 6 months had lost nearly 75% of them due to a bad call on the developers behalf of which game engine and software to use, causing an irreparable amount of bugs, glitches, and high latency which made the game nearly unplayable. The only gaming world was shocked to see that Sony such a huge company had blundered what could not be blundered, the official Star Wars Online game. The only subscribers left to SWG right now are the ones constantly flooding their official forums with hate-mail and tearfully long essays about "how much they wish there was some other scifi mmorpg to play..." yet so very few have braved to attempt developing a professional scifi mmorpg... Until we came along

Lol, really? Do you guys expect the game to be good by looking at those screenshots?

Do you know how easy it is to generate such screenshots with today's game development tools? Very easy.

But, developing the game mechanics and the content is the hard part.

I am not at all moved by a bunch of computer generated screenshots.

They are not even screenshots, they are concept art. Says so on their website. Whoever gave 'em to mmorpg.com as "screenshots" was a retard.
