World Realms is a very new cool Kickstarter game project with a great premise: MMO questing combined with word games matched to the uniquely wacky humor that made Kingdom of Loathing such a successful indie MMO. Think WoW meets Words with Friends, and watch the hilarity-spiked pitch:
As I suggested above, it's from Asymmetric Productions, the guys who made Kingdom of Loathing, so even the Kickstarter write-up is pretty funny. Don't take my word for it, read the FAQ... I mean, the NUTSAQ:
NUTSAQ:
1. What is a NUTSAQ?
Since no one has asked anything yet, we don't have a FAQ. Thus, these are Nominal Utility Tidbits Staged As Questions.
2. How will the game be distributed?
Word Realms will be delivered digitally, DRM-free. It'd be swell if you didn't pirate it, because that'd be a kick right in the NUTSAQ. It should be playable on PC, Mac, and probably Linux unless you've got some crazy distro whose interface is a pocketwatch or something.
Go here for the rest. They're trying to raise $100,000 this month and have already got up to $25,000.
Hat tip: Linden alum Katherine de León, who just sold her start-up Cull.TV (covered a lot by NWN last year) to a company called Twitvid -- congrats!
