I give your first post an A.

You managed to correctly use the linking function, and you worked in the swamp poop face.

I don't know how memorable this will be after it never gets off the ground and disappears to the 10th page of the forum, but a passable first post none the less!

No, don't re-lurk. You have so much potential.

Are we calling flash/facebook games MMO's now or something?  Seems Fox successfully trolled Massively into giving some free advertising.

I believe "massive" in MMO these days refers to the size of balls devs et all have for foisting their unfinished, unfun, poorly implemented fuckpiles of shit upon their customers.

Yes I may have oversold it just a smidge. I blame Fox. My brain was so busy trying to put Family Guy and MMO together and screaming WTF at me that I appear to have briefly lost all sense of perspective.

I suppose saying a crappy french game named Dofus illustrates how all flash games are bad is a tad bit unfair to flash games.

Its one of the best MMO's on the flash platform. Fits every definition, and is a far cry from "Flash Facebook game".

I suppose having 3 incarnations is a sign of its "Crappyness".  Ohhhhh, I see.  My point being, Using flash as a platform does not mean Facebook game. As for the title in question, Family guy, We have ZERO idea what platform its on, or what it will be like.

That is why I asked where all this info is coming from, none of it has even been said. Seems to be some assumptions being made with nothing to go with. Not saying that I can wrap my head around how they may pull this off, but still.

Here is what is known:

  • Family guy.
  • Has website.
  • Browser based.

What you missed was the important part that said "flash game" to me.

  • Launches this fall.

Or do we honestly believe a full-fleged MMO can be hacked-out in complete secrecy or within a few months if it's not flash-based?

Flash Family Guy game like Mafia Wars/ Famville/ Dragon Age:Legends? Sure. EA or Zynga can toss those things out in a few months, why couldn't anyone else.

We have no idea how long its been worked on, or who is even making it.

Not that I don't have my own assumptions.

Cartoon Network and something else I'm forgetting managed to do it.  I don't see why they couldn't.

There are a number of others. The root here, is "LOL flash is easy", when its not any more challenging than any other platform. The reason its used in Facebook games, is becomes of the prevalence of the plugin, as opposed to some third party one grandma needs to download.

Cartoon Network and something else I'm forgetting managed to do it.  I don't see why they couldn't.

No, Cartoon Network began development in 2007 after ComicCon and the game released early (Jan) 2009.  There was at least a year in development prior to the official announcement in 2008.

It's not LOL Flash is EZ it's "how on earth would they do anything else?" AND "it's easy to translate this game model to the IP vs the traditional MMO model" AND "game changes in MafiaVille Legends are easier to crank out than quest chains and mob pathing."

Or is Peter having to grind 100k chickens before he can fight the big Yellow one the baisis for a sensible and fun game?
