Love Online

[Windmill 1521]

No, this isn't an online dating service. This is a beautiful game being officially released in just over 9 days.

If you've ever played Wurm Online, Garry's Mod, or Minecraft you'll have a very vague idea of what this game is about.

This game is about mass cooperation. It is about creation. Terra-forming, placing infrastructure, making cities and a lot more in an MMO environment. It isn't about competing with other players (though, AI will be against you).

This game is independently developed. It isn't some sort of Free 2 Play but pay $5.00 for a digital hat. It is $10.00 for 30 days. It is worth every cent.

Here's a few videos:

Demo of some of the game mechanics:

If you're interested in playing, let me know. I wouldn't mind having an sG city.

The art style is inspired by paint sponges. But, the videos make it seem like it's bad quality with a sand gradient filter over your screen. It's actually very pretty and abstract in-game

There's a system where you can invite someone making them able to play whenever you're online if I'm not mistaken. Maybe I'll give it to you if my friend who I promised it to backs out.

Edit: Here's an interesting two part interview of the developer of Love.

Here's the trailer for it: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/debut-trailer-love/41941

That is actually pretty damn cool.

[I <3 People of Color 2]

Damn, this game looks great but I'm not gonna pay $10 a month.

[Windmill 1521]

It's worth the money. Think about it, this guy is financing the servers by himself. If he could have a Free to play system, he would. When you take all the costs into account there is a very, very small amount of profit.

[I <3 People of Color 2]

Blah youre right. Hmm. Maybe after I pay off what I owe my mom (which will be at the end of may) Ill play.

[Windmill 1521]

Sounds good, man. I won't really be able to play that much until about then either, actually. Hopefully I'll have time on the weekends. But, yeah, I highly suggest EVERYONE play this game. It's so much better than any MMO you'll ever play.
