General : Twilight MMO Announced

Posted Jul 28, 2009 by Michael Bitton

BrainJunk Studios will be developing an MMOG based on the Twilight novel series. The game will allow players to play either a Human, Werewolf, or Vampire and explore an "open non-linear" world set around Forks, Washington.

The game will also feature a journal that allows players to teleport to different periods of time in order to experience the events found within.

The Examiner has interviewed head of software development on the project, Brandon Gardner, on the game, who described it as:

an open non-linear world set around Forks. I like the idea of letting players explore the world, and discover new amazing things that are not even covered in the book or the movie.

One really extremely crucial feature in the game engine that was licensed for the game is unlimited world streaming, and this feature allows for the game to go in an open, non-linear direction.

The game will be closely based to both Twilight and Midnight Sun allowing the player to play, and experience the story from either Bella’s or Edward’s perspective.

I’m thinking of including New Moon into the project as well. I really think it’s important to allow players to experience being human, vampire, or phasing into a werewolf.

Go here for the game's official website.

Now, I ain't gonna' lie, I got curious when the movie came out and everyone was like, "AMGAZZ, best bookz evah," so I downloaded a copy and read it. I'm happy to report that despite all the gaming I do, I still enjoy my books written by real authors. OH SNAP. That is to say, Stephanie Meyers reminds me of the shitty writing they did in like, "Sweet Valley High" and those other terrible tween books. Oh the ones that 5th graders write about their crushes.

So excited about this game? No. Curious to grief it? HELLZ YEAH! ;)
