Title: Delivering this news brings me no pleasure... Post by: UnSub on July 29, 2009, 02:00:18 AM http://www.twilightthevideogame.com/ It's allegedly a MMO. Developed by a team with no experience, just a love of the source material. Title: Re: Delivering this news brings me no pleasure... Post by: Falwell on July 29, 2009, 02:05:12 AM Well, pretty much rock solid proof that the atheists are correct.
Title: Re: Delivering this news brings me no pleasure... Post by: K9 on July 29, 2009, 02:26:45 AM Brandon - undergraduate CompSci student
Steve - 'fierce friend', artist and part-time musician Bethany - spends her time exhibiting her pets at dog shows and works as a pet groomer Maile - a graphic artist specialising in yougurt pots Beth - undergraduate animation student who's only hobby seems to be reading Twilight novels Gretchen - a mother of 4 and expert web designer Christine - a preschool teacher who has the largest collection of Twilight memorabilia of any member of the team. So that's an artist to programmer ratio of 5:1 :why_so_serious: Title: Re: Delivering this news brings me no pleasure... Post by: Trippy on July 29, 2009, 02:34:29 AM That can't possibly be legit. If they are actually making a game it's going to get FOX'd before they have a chance to release anything.

Quote This was her world........until December, 2008. It was then she saw ‘Twilight’ for the first time! Immediately after watching, she purchased all 4 books and completed them all in about 10 days! From that first introduction to current day, her world has exploded!!! She has emerged from her cocoon of unassuming shyness to a much more confident, adventurous spirit! If it has anything to do with ‘Twilight’ ... she wants to know, see, learn more. Her concept of ‘Twilight’ is the ‘love’ throughout it all. She is, and always will be, in love with LOVE! :facepalm: Title: Re: Delivering this news brings me no pleasure...

Post by: ghost on July 29, 2009, 06:16:39 AM If it goes this will probably be better than Darkfall and "more successful" than Warhammer/AoC.
I wonder what the PvP will be like :heartbreak: :why_so_serious: Title: Re: Delivering this news brings me no pleasure... Post by: Shatter on July 29, 2009, 06:24:47 AM I can already predict the emote list

Title: Re: Delivering this news brings me no pleasure... Post by: Falconeer on July 29, 2009, 07:46:11 AM I ran a quick T2k campaign last year. We went houserules-happy and had a real blast. The setting can be so amazingly cool.

Post by: sam, an eggplant on July 29, 2009, 11:11:33 AM Instead of looking down on it as a game, think of it as a dating site/smorgasbord mash-up of dumb low self esteem women with daddy issues ready to be led by a string, cow-like, with placid empty eyes, to sit on your dick.
They need to add an 18+ server though, or it would get creepy. Title: Re: Delivering this news brings me no pleasure... Post by: Surlyboi on July 29, 2009, 11:19:02 AM "Get" creepy? It already is creepy.

It's a goddamned angelfire page without the neon.

Title: Re: Delivering this news brings me no pleasure... Post by: Lantyssa on July 29, 2009, 03:19:00 PM That's a rather decent website for some retards. They've got a great graphics designer (or found a good template). Bravo?If they manage to put something together which is amazing, after the trademarked IP is stripped out of course, then I'll give them props. While it is a step up from some games I've seen, a pretty web site does not mean they can make a game. Title: Re: Delivering this news brings me no pleasure... Post by: Big Gulp on July 29, 2009, 03:24:21 PM We've got so many girls in their early 20's coming into the shop who bring up Twilight. I was even asked whether I liked it. I replied with something like, "Isn't that the Tigerbeat of vampire movies? Nah, I need a little bit more Nosferatu from my vampires". Her reply was, "What's that!?!" :facepalm:

Post by: patience on July 29, 2009, 05:21:39 PM Well their PR machine (http://www.examiner.com/x-13198-Twilight-Parents-Examiner~y2009m7d6-Move-over-Twilight-totes-here-comes-Twilight-The-video-game) is on a roll thanks to morbid curiosity.
I kind of feel sorry for their lead designer though. Quote Blizzard Entertainment is known for releasing polished high quality games. That is a standard that I apply to my games and onto myself. The number one people that I am accountable to are the fans of Twilight, and I will not let any of them down. Yes you will even if you succeed at completing this project. Certain Twilight fans are worse than internet trolls. Title: Re: Delivering this news brings me no pleasure...
