DotMMO Brings MMO Adventure Games into their potfolio

Posted by – May 28, 2011

DotMMO, a privately funded mmo gaming website, today announced that they have connected online games and social games into their potfolio. With these games added, you can adventure into the virtual world with DotMMO’s registered account.

An adventure game here is a game for PC platform, or internet web browser where players assume the role of hero, or adventuror to explore the world, The adventure genre focuses on storyline including 2D or 3D side scrolling MMO games. Adventure games encompass a wide variety of literary genres, including fantasy, science fiction, mystery, horror, and comedy.

You are tip-toeing across a beam less than two-inch wide above a deep valley, cautiously yet swiftly like a ballet dancer. Scarcely have you arrived at the far end of it when the beam tumbles. Out of instinct, you clutch a dangling rattan by the edge of precipice and swirl yourself across the abyss to land on a cave, which happens to be the mysterious tomb you are looking for… Can this only be a dream? Not necessarily. Do you want a taste of exploration? Welcome to the world of adventure games.

Being an important branch of the whole tree of the computer game, Adventure Game (AVG) distinguishes itself from other genres, while at the same time overlaps with them in several component elements, mainly concerning puzzle-solving, role-playing, combat and narrative storyline. In fact, it can be said that AVG absorbs in separate pieces of those elements, integrates and internalizes them, and finally makes itself a distinct entirety out of them. A good adventure game must be the one that makes a rational arrangement of these elements. There are conflicts and combats in both AVG and PC Game . But the fact that in-game physical challenge is not the core activity in AVG draws the line between them. Instead, puzzle-solving is usually described as the soul of AVG. After accepting quests, the gamer-controlled avatar may have to venture into dangerous places like the jungle, the volcano or tombs to try unveiling a mystery with the guidance of clues, which players have to decipher and piece together in the first place. To complete the quest requires strong ability of observation, deduction and judgment. This is exactly the attraction of AVG, for it engages players in the development of the game so deeply that they could experience the adventure as if they themselves were in the game.

AVG provides a platform of infinite opportunity: you can raid a tomb like Lora; you can seek for the crystal skull like Indiana Jones; and you can embark on a journey to look for treasures buried underneath the sea or hidden in a cave, an adventure nobody has ever experienced. So what are you waiting for?

Lucent Heart Launches New Facebook Zodiac Matchmaker App

Posted by – May 26, 2011

From Games-PR http://www.games-pr.com/?p=241

Today Lucent Heart, the zodiac inspired free to play MMO from leading publisher Gamania, has launched its new ‘Zodiac Matchmaker’ app on Facebook and encourages you to utilise the power of the zodiac to find your perfect team mate for the challenges which await you in Acadia, the realm of Lucent Heart.

When you access the app, it will present a selection of your friends, each of whom will have one of the 12 zodiac signs. By simply choosing a friend, the app will present a ‘zodiac compatibility’ chart indicating if that particular friend would be a suitible companion for love or fighting in Lucent Heart.

Friends you think may be great partners for fighting alongside might actually be better for dancing with, whilst some friends who you think wouldn’t be much use with a sword, could end up being the perfect team mate, you’ll just have to use the Zodiac Matchmaker to find out! Try it out now by following this link: http://apps.facebook.com/zodiacmatchmaker!

Lucent Heart prides itself on offering players a greater ‘social’ experience in-game. Along with the new Facebook app, there is a ‘Cupid’ matchmaking feature which allows you to expand your circle of friends to help develop a core-team. It is this encouragement of playing with friends and making new ones which makes playing Lucent Heart a immersive and unique gameplay experience.

To test how good your new team-mates will be, Lucent Heart will be opening its servers from the 9th – 19th June for their Closed Beta Test! Daily competitions and challenges will be held rewarding players with free and exclusive items including Stardust points to spend at the in-game shop, mounts, pets and much more to assist themselves and their teams in their adventures within the vast world of Acadia. You and your friends can even claim a special “Friendship Welcome Pack” promotional code through sharing your Facebook app match results. Head in game to claim items such as a Wild Wolf battle pet to fight alongside you, a fearsome Warg wolf mount to get about in style, and exclusive Red Hair Dye and more, all of which will make you and your friends stand out from the pack during the closed beta test.

Niall Callaghan, Product manager for Gamania UK said, “The social interaction is one element which makes Lucent Heart stand apart from other MMO’s and the Zodiac Matchmaker app will help to bring a greater dimension to this. Many Facebook users have hundreds of friends, some of whom they rarely speak with. With this app, you’ll be matched with friends you may not have even considered before and when they join you in-game, you may find out a little more about them and become closer, all of which is great for playing Lucent Heart! When players find the right partners, sharing the gameplay experience is always better.”

Lucent Heart will be launching it’s own website soon providing updates and exclusives as the Summer launch approaches, but in the meantime ‘social adventurers’ should join the Lucent Heart Facebook page www.facebook.com/lucentheartuk, and keep in touch with via Twitter http://www.twitter.com/LucentHeartUK.

The Closed Beta Test commences on Friday 9th June and concludes on Sunday 19th June. Promo codes for a variety of cool mounts and other exclusive gifts will be available from Lucent Heart partner sites, details of which will be announced soon.

FUNimation To Bring Fullmetal Battle To iOs, Browsers and Android

Posted by – May 19, 2011

FUNimation To Bring Fullmetal Battle To iOs, Browsers and Android

San Diego, Calif., May 19, 2011 – Good Game Productions and FUNimation Entertainment announced today a brand new iOS and browser-based game based on the popular anime series “Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.” The turn-based RPG fighting game, called Fullmetal Battle, will launch this summer on iPhone, iPad, Android and browsers (Facebook).

“FUNimation and Good Game Productions teamed up to bring fans the opportunity to battle in the rich Fullmetal Alchemist universe. As both fans and longtime followers of the show, we hope to appeal to our loyal fans and to expose new fans to this show which continues to resonate with so many people,” said FUNimation president and CEO Gen Fukunaga.

Fullmetal Battle is a fast-paced, turn based group RPG that will capture longtime fans of the series and newcomers alike. Players will design their own state licensed alchemists and choose from a vast array of abilities and effects inspired by the “Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood” series to arm themselves for battle. Players can challenge popular Full Metal Alchemist characters-including favorites Alphonse and Edward Elric—while receiving helpful tips and advice from Roy Mustang. Players band together with fellow alchemists in three vs. three battles, but will level independently through skills and attributes. With unique access to special potions and single-use items, players have the opportunity to upgrade their core Alchemy transmutation circles that are central to the game. In addition, gamers have the option to recruit friends and fight with or against them in action-packed clashes!

The anime series is adapted from the manga series written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa. The world of Fullmetal Alchemist is styled after the European Industrial Revolution and set in a fictional universe in which alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques known to man. The story follows the brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric, who want to restore their bodies after a disastrous failed attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy. To restore what was lost, the brothers scour a war-torn land for the Philosopher’s Stone, a fabled relic which grants the ability to perform alchemy in impossible ways. The manga has been a consistent top-seller for years while the anime just ended its highly rated run on the late-night [adultswim] block.

“We are huge fans of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, so to have this opportunity to work on the game is extremely exciting,” said Grantley Day, Founder and CEO of Good Game Productions. “Fans of trading card and turn-based RPG’s will love the fast pace, the extensive customization and the rich storyline of Fullmetal Battle.”
