With the first full-price browser-game title, Rough Sea sets out to redefine the standards in browser gaming. With a high four-figure budget and more than five interns they are bound to produce a straight shooter that will win the hearts of critics and gamers alike. So far, they have announced neither the title nor the setting of the game, but leading industry insiders suspect that it will probably have the word “Wars” in its title. CTO Bruno Schwarzritter of Schadenfreude Interactive GmbH says: “They’ll probably smash something together and then call it Something Wars “.
Some of the revolutionary new technical aspects are:
- multi-platform support (even Linux, MacOS X and AmigaOS)
- fully animated 3D progress bars
- animated buttons with localized texts (that actually fit into them)
- revolutionary summation algorithm to calculate any kind of specs correctly (even on Pentiums)
- inbuilt automated grind management (as formerly seen only in big PC titles such as Progress Quest)
- multi-account support
- game-content that will fascinate players for weeks (like quests that last one week)
- user-driven account management (everyone is an administrator)
- user-created content (Rough Sea is not going to provide a lot)
- root-kit based copy protection
The game will be released on DVD and bundled with a browser to play it with. Rough Sea Games is negotiating right now with several browser companies but have not yet determined which company will pay the most. To play the game the user will also have to have a working Internet connection for the spyware online activation to work properly.
