New Beginnings
If you’ve been playing web-based RPG’s for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed that except for a select few, they are all the same. A couple of shops with generic weapons, a couple of items, a couple of secondary things you can click on, but mostly what they all boil down to is a single button which you click until you run out of turns, and hope you get lucky. Because there’s no thought involved.
Just mind-numbing repetition.
We’ve noticed the same, and we’ve decided to try and give another alternative. Our goal is to put another web-based RPG out there, but one that doesn’t begin and end with clicking the same thing 100 times a day. One that isn’t entirely based on luck. We want to field an interesting game, one that has some content, and quests; a game that will provide the player with some amusement, instead of just a mindless grind.
And so the concept of WWWest Online was born. As I stated, we want to make this a fun, entertaining game. When we first started talking about it, we came up with some thoughts about what we find lacking in most web-based RPG’s today. But that’s the pickle right there – it’s the things we find lacking. And we’re not everyone. We’re also not the target “market”, as it were; we’re not the ones who’ll be playing the game. You are (well, you will be. We hope). And that, in a (somewhat convoluted) nutshell, is why we created this blog.
We’re not a company – we’re just a couple of people working on a project in our spare time. We’ve got some ideas – good ones, we like to think – but we know that not everyone will like them. We’ll be posting updates on the development progress, when it happens, and our thoughts and plans for how the game will look, what it will contain, and other such details. We’d love to hear your own thoughts and comments on this. We intend to make WWWest Online free-to-play, so you won’t end up paying to play a game based on your own ideas.
That’s it basically. It’ll probably be a slow start, but if you’ll bear with us, we hope to entertain you.
