| EGenesis to develop Orson Scott Card's Alvin's World |
|
Famed author Orson Scott Card has announced on his <a href="http://www.hatrack.com/news-reviews/news/2005-01-05.shtml" target="_blank">personal site</a> that he signed an agreement on Jan 5th with eGenesis (A Tale in the Desert) to develop a non-combat MMO based on his Alvin's World property:<blockquote><em>After all these years of taking part together in this online Hatrack River community, I'm happy to announce that today (5 January 2005), I entered into an agreement with eGenesis, the game company that created "A Tale in the Desert."
<br>
<br>Andy Tepper, the lead designer of ATITD, saw in the Tales of Alvin Maker a world where another non-combat-centered community-building game could offer new possibilities.
<br>
<br>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.
<br>
<br>Above all, this alternate version of America will have ongoing events that players can affect, changing history each time a full game is played.</em></blockquote>It's been a long while since I've read any Orson Scott Card but I did enjoy ATitD. |
