Janine "Iris Ophelia" Hawkins' ongoing review of gaming and virtual world style
Fans of Glitch are still hard at work on their projects to revive the closed (and subsequently open-sourced) MMO. Just this week the team behind one such project, named Eleven, released a video demonstrating the housing system in action. Unlike most tech demos the point of this video isn't to reveal anything new or surprising, but rather to demonstrate how faithful their reconstruction is -- to stir up the nostalgia and fondness that Glitch fans have for the defunct game. They also recently released character customization, so you can rebuild the Glitchens of your past or start completely fresh.
Eleven isn't the only Glitch remake in progress, however...
If you're just itching for a Glitch fix, you may also want to check out Children of Ur, which has a playable demo that will allow you to roam familiar streets and collect currants, energy, and IMG. There's still not all that much to do, but there's nothing wrong with going for a pleasant stroll... Or a light jog.
Keep up to date with Eleven on their website, and Children of Ur on theirs.
