Neopets Creators Enter the MMO World with Twin Skies
Posted Sunday, July 13th, 2008 8:54 pm by Kym
After a bit of a tease a couple of weeks ago, Meteor Games, founded by the creators of the kids Flash game portal Neopets, has announced details of their first-ever MMO. Twin Skies will be a blend of a traditional, 3D MMO with innovative out-of-game elements. For instance, certain web-based mini-games can earn you a monster in-game, who will roam about, fight, and even send you pictures of the hapless newbies it kills. That … is so deliciously evil. Other mini-games could change the weather in-game, open a chest full of loot, or other game-changing things. Continuing with the theme from Neopets, every Twin Skies player will have their own pet to aid them in their travels. While killing beasties will be one way of progressing through the game, the social aspects and of course, the mini-games, will keep people busy no matter how they like to play.
Neopets Creators Reveal Monster Taming MMO Twin Skies

Relatively young game developer Meteor Games, founded by the minds behind the kid-friendly Flash game portal Neopets, recently unveiled their latest project — a rather ambitious 3D MMO titled Twin Skies. Following the style of their claim to fame, the title will place you in the shoes of an adventurer who uses pets to do his or her pugilistic grunt work, though with various races and classes mentioned on their FAQs page, we imagine your character can hold their own in a ruckus.
Character Options Revealed by Donna Williams

Donna Williams has revealed that there will be many customizable options for characters in Twin Skies and the activities that they can partake in. As part of the skill set, characters will be able to craft their own materials and items for the game (Second Life). This suggests a big commerce portion to the game itself although this is just speculation at this stage.
Secondly, the commerce at Twin Skies will include an auction house for players to auction off their items. From what has been disclosed over the past few weeks and some mini-games that appear on the Twin Skies official website, there are many common features that Twin Skies and Neopets share. Let’s hope that Twin Skies will be a vastly different game to that of Neopets.
Finally, Twin Skies will incorporate a player vs. player aspect to the game (where you can battle other players) and the option to customize the character statistics and skills in the game. Anyone who has played Diablo and are a fan of role playing games will be familiar with this concept.
So far it looks like it’s going to be a great game with many concepts die-hard gamers are familiar with. The question is, will there be more?
