Tales of Alvin Maker MMORPG

[Jan 08, 2005, 1:06 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

eGenesis to Develop Alvin's World as a Multi-player Online Game (thanks IGN and Mike Martinez) has a letter from science fiction author Orson Scott Card describing plans to create an MMORPG based on his Tales of Alvin Maker series. Here's a bit on the game, which like A Tale in the Desert, eGenesis' other MMO project, will contain no combat:

Four different magic systems, plus the technology track, offer players many ways to develop their characters; the presence of Calvin, Arthur Stuart, Peggy Larner, and Alvin Maker himself will provide plenty of complications and opportunities.

Above all, this alternate version of America will have ongoing events that players can affect, changing history each time a full game is played.

The game will be by paid subscription and will be played online. It will take some time to develop it, of course, but progress reports will be made here, including graphics as they become available.

It's probably going to make enough money to survive, since these game are made by much smaller team without having to please publisher's financial goal. It's not like if I'm ever going to bother with it though... http://www.actsofgord.com/Chronicles/chapter36.html
