Video: Chris McCormick's MMO Infinite Platformer
I like platformers. I especially like it when they try to make them massively multiplayer (see: Castle Infinity). Now, I know this project isn't huge but it is dynamic and a fairly neat concept if they pull it off. The game in question is Chris McCormick's Infinite Platformer.
The game was originally a project for gamejam0509, written for linux platforms. He has since started working on getting the title running on Mac OS X and Windows. Here are some features I lifted off his page:
- There is no shooting or killing in this game. The primary game mechanics are exploratory and social. You can run, jump, go through portals to new levels, and collect things.
- Content is user generated. As you can see in the video, the game includes an in-game editor. You can edit levels, portals (connections between levels), and items.
- It's massively multiplayer in the same way that a MUD is massively multiplayer. As you explore the levels you can see other people doing the same, and you can stop and chat with them, give them items, etc. (this bit isn't implemented yet).
We'll see where this goes once he releases the full game.
