The game is due very early 2008...but I fear that it's not an MMORG. I would -love- to do this game multiplayer, but it's not feasible to run a dedicated server with my "pocket money budget" - not to mention maintaining the support and PR that's needed for online games. Instead, I'm going for a story-driven single-player experience with a mix of puzzles, RPG stats...and super powers. They're mostly divided into groups like "damage the enemy," "affect the game board," "apply protection to yourself" and so on. I'm hoping that my set of insane villains to battle in this single-player game will make it successful enough that I can make a good online game as well, soon! Hey Rich, thanks for the interest!

I am a big fan of the superhero genre. Your game is intriguing. Will it be an MMORG? Will there be a cost to play it (like City of Heroes, WOW etc)? What kind of powers and skills might be available? I was pleased to see that you took inspiration from Freedom Force for your game (which is, imho, one of the best superhero computer games ever produced). Iow, you chose a good model to follow with FF. Do you have an idea when your game might be released? Thanks for enduring my annoying questions! Very interesting game concept.
