Though your own project looks great. I definitely think little beats being so original. Recent years in gaming have shown there is a real thirst out there for thoughtfully crafted intelligent titles - big budget retreads are all too frequent.

Of course. We have about 2k regular players, and could likely still function with 3x that, but when it comes to a lot of big MMO projects with millions in investment they are aiming for WoW numbers, and I'm just not sure, in many cases, that it is a realistic objective.

I may be bias but feel the problem also lies with the first of those two letter Ms. Why be 'massive' at all? Many players will get significantly more out of being part of a smaller, more personal experience. Meaningful stories told within a curated setting. Be the next thing, not the next BIG thing.

It's a great looking site, the absence of needless clutter is refreshing.

Admittedly I was sold on first seeing the art, but having read through it and played an adventure with Matheus I'm now more excited than ever.
This game feels like a breath of fresh air.

Wait...game devs can afford cars? (to say nothing of the lobsters).

As something of a veteran of the old Amiga titles (Pinball Dreams), anything goes, (until game says it doesn't), but I've never seen a pinball game where tilting is explicitly designed as a solution.
vandalism in RL unless ball stuck, or perfectly balanced. In game physics may allow for that too?

What I perhaps find most chilling in these stories is less the policy originators themselves, but how many people further down the chain are so eager to enforce them; when the opportunity to dehumanise others is presented, it is very often swiftly embraced by those with 'authority' to do so.
