8BitMMO Wins 2013 Seattle Independent Game Competition!

February 3rd, 2013 - RobbyZ

I am super excited to share with you that we won the 2013 Seattle Independent Game Competition! We faced some top caliber competitors, and it's an honor to be selected as this year's winner

Player vs Player Combat Added

December 28th, 2012 - RobbyZ

Just wanted to let everyone know about two really cool game updates for 8BitMMO:

1) I coded up a PvP combat system for the game that lets you create PvP zones and rewards you for fighting in them!

2) We're running on a brand-new, way faster and more reliable server now (woo!)

For more details, please see this blog post covering the these and other updates, and of course please keep playing the game at 8bitmmo.net (and hopefully one day on Steam! :))

Description

8BitMMO is a retro-style 2D massively multiplayer game! It's a giant construction sandbox -- you can build a home or a castle in a persistent streaming world. Found and manage your own city. Fight evil LawyerCats and engage in Player vs Player battle. Work in Progress! :)

* An Indie Game Magazine Top Greenlight Pick! *

Features:

Free To Play - No purchase necessary to have fun. Support the developer and buy a fancy hat... or don't. (Premium items give NO competitive advantage)

100% Player Built World - The entire world is built by players. Build your own house, town, voxelart, or dungeon. The world is massive -- there's plenty of space to build in, and it streams in as you explore (no load screens).

Be the Mayor - Start your own town and invite your friends. You'll have an array of management tools for overseeing your town.

Anti-Griefing Systems - Several systems protect players from griefing.

Interactive Development / WIP Updates - The entire game is built by one developer, and development is still ongoing. You can submit and vote on ideas -- many of the top voted ideas have been implemented into the game. Free updates with new content and features are frequently released.

Customize your Character - Wear hats, clothing, accessories, change your skin color

Become a Zombie - Want to be a zombie? You can! But you'll need a steady supply of delicious brains from other players. Don't worry, after you eat their brain, they'll be zombies too!

Fight Nefarious Enemies - Congressional Lobbyist Slugs, LawyerCats, and Hipsters oh my.

MegaMap - The world is huge, so the MegaMap interface (based on Google Maps API) is a handy way to browse the world and share your creations with friends.

Hardware Accelerated Desktop Edition (coming soon) - the game engine is currently being ported to allow for better performance by utilizing gfx hardware.

Steam-exclusive bonuses? - If allowed by Valve, I'd love to include some content such as a Crowbar weapon, Headcrab hat, or Companion Cube.
