As some know, for the last 18 or so months, in addition to writing, I've been developing a multi-player MMO online game entitled Extinction Event: Nanite Apocalypse. This is one screenshot of our forest environment complements of our lead designer David Metz.

I had to share. Enjoy.

    Nice, have you gotten to the point of any animated scenes yet?

    Go take a look at Pacific201 (Facebook and Kickstarter has pages), they have done some of the most realistic 3D work I have ever seen and it is almost to the point you cannot tell reality from fantasy. The power of today's graphics engines is amazing.

    Build a base camp, scavenge for useful items to build useful things, take a mission in exchange for something rare and high-tech (or to clear your name and reclaim your assets). All sorts of stuff. :)

    Cool AJ. Very interested to see how the backstory compares to the art.

    Will do. I'm hoping to get us into a closed alpha testing phase within the next 2-3 weeks. After that an invite only Alpha to get the bugs out of the core systems - inventory, base building, transport, damage, firing, way-point and reactive AI.

    Its a long road, but considering relatively short time taken thus far and the small team I have we're made good progress.

    I'll keep you posted.

    Honestly seeing the progress we've made makes me want to show it off a little.
    (I'm fully trade marked so its tempting)

    no, but there will be survival scenarios between undead and players, Negotiation, reason, will be inherent in the player encounters (self interest too). :)

    Will there be loggers with chainsaws facing off against environmentalist demonstrators? :-)

    I appreciate high-quality graphics in fantasy fiction and gaming scenarios. Your exquisite art evokes many of our built-in senses reacting to mystery, caution, strangeness. Yes, zombies could pop out of the fog and from behind any tree. Is it dusk? Will we get lost in the woods when darkness falls? Will we find water or shelter? Will it get cold? Will we find a nice little cave or burrow, only to trip over the bear sleeping in it?

    I think I'll just stay home in my technologically supported warm room and enjoy others' adventures vicariously on my friendly laptop and continue designing my own aesthetically pleasing live-action tabletop games and puzzles. 100% comfort, safety, freedom, mental challenge and cordial competition.

    Good luck and success with your project, AJ. Thanks for sharing this lovely promo.

    I play World of Warcraft. I have tried others but they just aren't as good. How would yours compare to WoW? If this is an example of the graphics, it looks great. I might give it a try. Let me know when it is ready to play.

    Looks good! I'd love to hear more about the game. I love MMOs... but i'm weird ;) My history with MUDs MOOs and Everquest/WoW.... I'd love to learn more!

    Very good resolution. Almost like a photograph of a real forest.

    Not comin to get Me! ha ha.
    Certainly no reflection upon your work, but that picture you just painted for me reminds me of a post, I just posted. An article about how people nowadays think only in pictures that elicit an emotional response and not a response of reason.
    Seems you will be tapping into that trend and hopefully profiting too.
    Good luck. We enjoy learning of your progress.
