HMMM we rethought the plan for WOE

HMMM we rethought the plan for WOE.. :) we decided instead of bombdiving into the field of mmorpg creation we will just start off with a series of smaller games based of each character. More info will be posted up soon, but let me just say now: WOE is still going to be made and the smaller games will have the same concept in it, they will be based of each character though for WOE, they will all be free and it is being made for players to get the feel of the game and decide whot hey will be when the game comes out.

Much better idea and much more feasible. :) Good luck with your series.

Thats the post we wanted to see. Shows some forethought (it also will increase the amount of material that you wont have to recreate later, since you have it already made for the smaller game).

we did the same idea with Fantasci: Hidden War, due to lack of confidence. www.fantascihiddenwar.com We split into up to 3 full size singleplayer games, but we may continue to the mmo path if folks see the work we have been doing.

Now THATS a great concept. (cheers). Down side is I have to wait for WOE. Upside is Each character will have their own story ( gamestory ? )...Anyways... I like the tid-bit of information that was next to each character that was on the site. It was compelling enough to ask questions .. which I did.

The exciting part now is that each character will have a game of their own.. mini-game maybe?.. either way, I simply think thats brilliant.

Will the characters be portable to WOE afterwards? or is each game designed to tell it's own personal history per character? ( Maybe too soon to ask that ).

Please keep us posted. =)

ok Scott, each character will get his or own game it will be semi regular almost regular but not really regular.... The game time for those will be limited atleast until WOE is out, they are like a pre-beta players who play those games before WOE is released will get to play as their characters from the smaller games in WOE( a very special treat considering most online games dont let players do that) so we will hold a character transfer before WOE is released for those who played before it was finished.
