This game is going to be looking for someone to buy them. It sounds interesting if they can do what they say. They say there is no grind..which we have heard before but there is always hope. :) The graphics are ok, but the developer said in the mmorpg.com forums that the screenshots were from an early build and not done yet. It may be something to look into.

Being blunt here, it looks like bad 3D-art stuck unto a basic game engine like torque.

I'd expected more info from them about the game-mechanics. As in, how will they remove the 'grind' from their mmorpg?
What cutting edge technology?
They shouldn't have shown those 'ingame' screenshots if they wish to relay the feeling of 'cutting edge' to the viewers.

Give a good concept artist a handfull of dollars and use that instead.

Just being blunt here.

(ok, I see I missed a bit of info about the 'how' part)
Still looks horrible.

On mmorpg.com he did talk more about it but I wasn't sure if I should just copy and past his posts in here. Didn't know if it was worth doing, if anyone would even comment. I figured if someone from the company was interested then they would maybe contact them and ask questions, and keep an eye on it to see if there is any possibilities.
