A Piggy named
Jun. 29th, 2011 11:50 pmI've been wasting a lot of time playing the beta of this browser MMO called Glitch. It's basically an MMO platformer with resource-gathering and crafting, but the art's very good and the dialog's funny.
They have apparently used some of their seed money to hire actual writers, a move which certain better-funded, orc-related MMOs might do well to imitate. I can't tell at this point if there'll ever be anything resembling a plot. There's some world-building in place that's so far pretty thin, but it's still embarrassingly more interesting than that of several fantasy novels I've read recently, given the number of fart jokes they come out with.
There are also a lot of pop culture references. Here's an out-of-context screenshot demonstrating:
