What with LD being an MMO, it would be rather difficult to *do* scripted events. Though with instances I guess you could, but they’ve said that it’s not really an RPG so I wouldn’t expect them even with this, but even with this few MMOs really reward the explorer’s mindset.

Me? I like the idea and will happily wander a persistent world looking for stuff. If you’re right (and their phrasing could well agree with you, though it may also just be dramatic wording) I’d be a happy little anthropomorphic personification.

Here’s hoping.

One other thing that I like

“Surrounding Elevon’s pyramids is a vast stretch of desert, where only thorny plants and hardy iguanas thrive. Well, there might be more out there, but don’t go exploring unprepared.”

I get the impression that the game encourages exploration, and finding a cool little level tucked away in a massive desert would be very satisfying. Exploration is something games overlook, instead opting for a scripted event.

Looking forward to this.

Well, despite of being a city of science, the city looks rustic to me. I loved the contrast.

Yup, definite steampunk vibe. Even if I don’t get a minion out of it, the art’s going to be awesome because of it.

I love all the tiny little details…I’ve almost got my nose pressed against the computer screen Ha, I just now noticed the “rock formation/carving” that’s holding up the rocket. Looks fantastic!

Joyd, we’re looking at late November for the launch, but Beta will happen well before that. We’re starting work on Alpha now.

I know that the game’ll be ready when it’s ready, but is there any more recent information on the timetable since the game|life interview? I’m really psyched, and am looking forward to this fall.

Nice composition! A grand scientific paradise in the middle of a seemingly desolate desert…. Who knows what the inventors would think of next!

At this rate other bizzare manifestations of Lila’s ‘DREAMs’ will be popping up soon….. Good Luck!
