Buffy MMO Announced, Firefly MMO Delayed
Zonk brings word that Multiverse, the developer who in 2006 acquired the rights to make a Firefly-based MMO, has announced that a Buffy: The Vampire Slayer MMO is now under development. An interview with Corey Bridges from Multiverse seems to indicate that the Firefly MMO, though delayed, is not dead. He also provides a few details on what the Buffy game will be like. Quoting:
"What we're doing with the Buffy game then is releasing it in stages. It will first be a flash-based virtual world, with the full Multiverse server behind it. ... So it will start as a 2D flash-based MMO where you can go on missions and interact with other players. This will extend even once we have the 3D client working, where you can both interact with players using the other point of view. We're going to have these shared spaces where 2D and 3D people can interact. All of this will come out in phases, with staged gameplay coming out. We're sort of blazing a path with this concept, and we're really interested in what this might mean for players of the two versions. ... I'd love to get [a public beta] out to players by the end of the year."

Seems like the perfect opportunity to mention the flash based adventure game engine I've been working on. The idea is to revolutionize the webcomic and make it interactive. It's open source, uses actionscript/php/drupal to allow you to build your mini adventure game in drupal and share it on your site.
Source is hosted at google code.
Pinheads: the first game written for it and 2nd place in the "Creativity" catagory in this year's Chistian Developer's Network Speedgame contest.
Covered City: A weekly updated mini scifi adventure game, currently on episode 2 (episodes 3 and 4 are already produced, but not public).
Oh yeah, and anyone is free to create an account at http://game.emptycrate.com/ and make your own adventure game.

DON'T YOU DARE ACT SUPRISED SLASHDOTTERS!
Any generation that can make a "Desparate Housewives" game and a sequel to "90210" deserves whatever nonsense MMO they birth!
I've also see a BRATZ video game, too many Barbie games to count, and about 200 old crappy FPS games based off the old Doom and Doom 2 engines. I've seen really bad attempts at serious Murder-Mystery games (Myst and Phantasmagoria being a few of the exceptions to the wave of shit they put out in that genre).
"Garbage in, Garbage Out. Counts for data, and counts for life"
Face it, there is the future of the gaming industry. I bet they'll blame the low subscription rate on the conviently leaked source code and demand the government subsidize them due to the evil pirates.
Down down down, right down the shitter only twice as fast as the movie industry's slide into irrelivance...
Books: they don't crash, do need hardware upgrades outside of the occasional new pair of glasses, and so far none of the books I have read have any class imbalances except "Last of the Renshai", the hobbled warrior class was WAY OP'ed!!
