Delivering this news brings me no pleasure...

It's allegedly a MMO. Developed by a team with no experience, just a love of the source material.

[Falwell]

Well, pretty much rock solid proof that the atheists are correct.

[K9]

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 

[Trippy]

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.

[Falwell]

Trippy is just trying to counteract his enthusiasm with rationalization.

[Falconeer]

For a moment I hoped for this Twilight.

Amateur team trying to make a game with a well known IP without consent?  Seems legit!

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!

 

[Hawkbit]

The cyber will be steamy, but never go 'all the way'. 

There's more potential for grief than any other title I can imagine.

Hmmm... I've never met a chick named Brandon or Steve before.

[ghost]

If it goes this will probably be better than Darkfall and "more successful" than Warhammer/AoC.

I wonder what the PvP will be like    

[Shatter]

I can already predict the emote list

/lick
/emo
/hug
/kiss
/dryhump
/who anystraightguyplayingthisgame(ok not an emote but still :P )

[tmp]

It'll probably use sexy posing system except with paragraphs of text instead.

The Reaction?

Man i have been thikning of digging that out for the last few weeks, of the pnp's i've played that combat system was the most in need of computerization.

[Falconeer]

I ran a quick T2k campaign last year. We went houserules-happy and had a real blast. The setting can be so amazingly cool.

[Modern Angel]

Get it while it lasts. There's not a single citation of the Twilight copyright. Generic forest pictures. This is fucking fanfic that will get them sued in hilarious fashion.

[sam, an eggplant]

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.

[Surlyboi]

"Get" creepy? It already is creepy.

[Musashi]

So, for the uninitiated, Twilight is the crack that those crazy vampire people are smoking?

[Lakov_Sanite]

"Vampire wannabe retards"

[Lantyssa]

My conversation about it:

Me: http://www.twilightthevideogame.com/

Roomie: WHAT
             NO

Me: It's even better. The lead "has studied both C++ and C#"!!!

Roomie:  Just like Stephanie Meyer has studied "how to use a word processor."

[Musashi]

We must follow this carefully, o me brothers.  We must harvest the lulz.

Isn't that the case with big budget titles? 

[01101010]

We must follow this carefully, o me brothers.  We must harvest the lulz.   

this all depends on how fast we reach critical mass before the wheels fall off and we are all left with empty bottles of tequila and a large void in time. I give it a week and a half.

[Musashi]

Good enough for me.

[Yegolev]

God damned bullshit everywhere.  Everywhere.  Who do I punch?

That's a rather decent website for some retards.

[Modern Angel]

It's a terrible, generic, hacky website with "preschool teacher" and "being in love with LOVE" proudly displayed as selling points while four bars of hideous flute music loops over and over. It's a goddamned angelfire page without the neon.

What happened to just going home, have a beer, smoking a joint with friends, waxing philosophical about the movie, then waking up in the morning and forgetting it all due to the more important matters like taking the first piss of the day.

[Lantyssa]

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.

[Big Gulp]

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!?!"

It got creepy right around "cow-like".

Who do I punch?

If it will make this go away you can punch me 

Just not in the nads.
