Multiwinia: PC Beta goes Live!

[shinygerbil]

Love will look nice, but that's about it, in my opinion. I don't think one Swedish guy will manage to do what Blizzard failed to.

I'm not expecting *Unpronounceable name here* to do what blizzard failed to. I'm expecting him to create a interesting, beautiful evolving world with no set goals but which you can easily get yourself lost in. I'm not waiting on love for the complexity or the amount of quests or character classes or finely tuned "game play" in the traditional sense but instead for the experience and escapism. I believe there was a certain blog post by a small indie company which talked about never trying to beat the big companies at their own game. I just want a shared world which I could subtly influence and feel like I belong to. That being said there's hardly any solid details on the game, but hey that's not stopping us waiting eagerly for subversion is it?

I would really wish I knew what you guys are talking about, but googling "love" won't cut it.

Damn you English language!!
Thankfully, Googling Love MMO provided helpful results.

I tried Love MMORPG and that didn't work


Well, it seems to have an interesting visual, but right now I find the information kind of scarce.

Hmm, that looks like an interesting project - is there any other information around the web - that site seems a little sparse on any actual information about the game?

RPS article here, old, no new info

(I get all my info from TIGSource, which has been discussing this game for a while )

Personally, I'm very sceptical right now - almost to the point of calling "vapourware" - mostly because there is so little detail.

However, I would really love (oh, the pun ) to see it go somewhere, as it does have a lot of potential.

Hmm, was this featured in PC gamer by any chance? Or maybe edge?

The screenshots look familiar.

Nevertheless, the game project certainly looks interesting - there seem to be several one man development teams around with some awesome ideas and they all look most exciting

1. You signed with a brand-new account,
2. It's only Windoze testing at the moment anyway.

Sadly enough, I've been playing all the games since about '04 when I discovered Uplink and didn't sign up for the forums... read them on and off, but I really want to beta test Multiwinia so I signed up for the beta.

Can't wait for Subversion!

EDIT: Also Martin, Love was featured in Hyper recently. But even they said they could find bugger all on it

I discovered that RPS article when I read the interview with Chris and Mark on GDC over there, it was posted around the same time. Maybe that's why the screens look familiar.

Could be, but then I don't usually read RPS except when someone links me to a specific article

I guess I'll have to go and find all my old edge magazines and check if it's in there - I shall scan it for you guys if I do find it
