Make My MMO: April 6 - April 12, 2014
This week a reader named TrollsRoyce (no relation to Massively Editor-in-Chief Bree Royce, we swear) brought a new crowdfunding project called Red Blood to our collective attention. The game's IndieGoGo campaign will run through May 5th and the staff, which includes former CABAL Online and Perfect World developers, could use your help. What exactly is Red Blood? It's a "triple-A MMORPG title that's based on the popular comic book series Red Blood," the project site explains. "Set in a post apocalyptic future, the world is a changed land where science and magic coexist and humans have been recreated by changing DNA. Four opposing countries have risen in an attempt to gain total control of the world using their new armies of genetically modified mercenaries." Listed features include a full pet system, non-targeting combat, and an infinite number of instance dungeons. User Games and Gorilla Banana have released a trailer, and Steparu has posted an extensive review of an early build.
Gorilla Banana studios and Emergent announce partnership for Red Blood
What do you get when you combine Emergent's Gamebryo engine, a developer with the arguably awesome name of Gorilla Banana, and a bunch of genetically-altered super-humans who each want to rule the world? Red Blood. Emergent Game Technologies and Korean developer Gorilla Banana have put their collective heads together to further create this futuristic MMO. Players of Red Blood will choose one of four countries to join -- Victoria, Kulitie à Khuril-Tai, Normu à Nomos, and Peiladulia à Phratria. Each country has different character traits and attributes to its advantage, but the citizens are all after the same goal: world domination. You'll join your "new and improved" countrymen in a bid to make your country the ruling power. Gorilla Banana's site states that Red Blood has been in alpha since July of 2007, so hopefully the announcement of the partnership with Emergent means that we'll be hearing more from Red Blood soon.
