Welcome to our site and thanks for your help and support!
The setting is the Earth alien interaction restricted area. It is the year 2050. Five races struggle to come to terms with each other and to explore the stars. Humans and four other aliens must learn to work together to each get what it wants from the others. The humans hope to get to the stars!
This is a game that is out to explore the boundaries of MMORPG design and artwork. We fully understand that some of these ideas my not be possible with current computers but that games of this type often take many years to reach release stage and that by that time computers will be much faster and the software much stronger making many ideas possible.
Our game is unique because:
- We promote Role playing and acting in every way we can.
- The game seeks to be biologically and scientifically accurate.
- It is hard science fiction.
- It has “Puppet technology” controlled toons or characters. You can make your character cry or laugh while walking and singing. We want to promote ACTING and learning not killing.
- Player get “charisma or good play votes” that they can give to other players. At the end of the month the top 10% of the players get some sort of bonus and also get political points that can be used to run for higher online offices in the game. This will encourage players to help each other and to form strong groups. Leadership and niceness has its rewards.
- It has a full Gaia ecosystem with DNA and NPC reproduce and have sex and other bodily functions.
- Everything has to eat, drink, sleep, excrete and have the right environment for it to excel.
- It has five main races that are all interconnected. Each race has a very distinctive social rule system, style and city type and environment. Each one excels at some type of basic skill.
- Each race needs the other in some way.
- Players can make things off line with blender3d or some other editor and add them to the world and are encouraged to do so! They can invent new weapons, make a house, clothing, or they can make a new kind of animal. They can sell these things in character to make money online or get big money or cool things from a NPC for the animals.
- They can buy land outside the cities and make their own communities.
- Making good NPC bots is rewarded as is making good player bots.
- It has unlimited skill levels that are not restricted within a race.
- High level player loose low level skill and thus need low level player to advance and produce things.
- Skill levels are increased by getting a book that can be read and must be read to use skills, this teaches real world information and they give quests to help perfect skills.
- It has Technology Levels that increase on a daily basis.
- Players can vote and they can set up votes for any group or subgroup of characters.
- It has a full economy with an exciting auction system.
- Players can play ANYTHING in the world even a carnivorous tree if they like.
- It has world physics so if you roll a rock into a house the house falls down. Fully interactive environment. (Yep, big wish, maybe in 10 years?)
- It has scripting with AI that lets players play when they are not at the computer if they write a good script. Scripts have a private life and then are made public.
- Client computers are used to run NPC in the background of their game playing.
- Servers can be anywhere with the main server used only to coordinate all the others and to keep track of where things are.
- And more!
Yes, this is a big and challenging project! Together we will make it happen!
