Your World one-on-one PVP fights are going to be a 2d fight game. Think of Street Fighter style game. Once the players have selected to fight they will be place in a 2d platform to battle it out.

What.

Still waiting for the part where he tells us the core gameplay will be a full VR sim and the equipment will ship free with your purchase.

Haha, that'd be awesome.

That does sound a lot more reasonable than... whatever the heck he was planning to do.  You could probably use one of the fighting game engines that are around to create moves and stuff (leaving aside the question of how the heck moves and the like would work with all the custom races). Although does that mean PVP will be completely different to PvE, or has this turned into a weird MMO version of Spore mixed with Streetfighter?

I think it has just turned weird, and that's the only firm statement you can make on vaporware.

I will act in the interest of making sure as much of the internet can witness his genius as possible. The Blizzard/Kickstarter Konspiracy can't keep him down!

I swear every single post he makes raises so many questions.

Most companies hire gamers at about $30K a year to do the alpha testing stage. Something I actually didn't know until now. We are still talking about it. We are a long way off from alpha. Still trying to raise the funds we need.

Really??  I mean... I thought even professional games testers didn't earn that much.  In any case he could surely use his huge fanbase to test the game for free.

Incidentally, have you guys checked out the class list yet?  The main thing to note is they sound catastrophically boring.  Basically:
- There are 5 classes.
- Each of those 5 classes have 3 "subclasses" which are described as "DPS", "Tank" or "Healer" or some combination of two of those pretty much randomly.
- After you master (it's not clear how you master something in a game with no levelcap) the three subclasses of a class you unlock the fourth subclass.  Which seems to just be better at everything than the previous 3 subclasses making it a no-brainer.
- After you master all 5 classes you unlock the "Ascended Master" class.  You can do everything.  Yay.
- But wait, there's more!  Which I don't get at all.  In any case you end up with "Superior" which again lets you do everything.

And... so on.  Little differentiation in the first place beyond "DPS/Tank/Healer" and every high level character would end up exactly the same at the end anyway.

I wouldn't even consider a games testing job for less than $35/hour.

Testing is not Playing.

I don't have much experience testing games, but I know this is certainly true.

I don't have much experience testing games, but I know this is certainly true.

Especially for the bigger games. Where you start the game 83 times to see if it crashes.

Sometimes I wish some of these brutally mocked projects would succeed. Not only would some of the wackier ideas out there be interesting, but it's always awesomely vindicating to prove a bunch of laughing onlookers wrong.

Only problem is these projects tend to be mocked for a reason.

Sure.  But it's not a very well paid job.

As someone with software QA experience, can tell you that you don't want to test computer games. You really, really, don't.

I hate to say it, but this guy reminds me of Sonichu and the creator behind it, minus the whole "broken shell of a man who's under indictment for hit-and-run" thing >_>
