We’ve been meaning to post about this since we received a terribly excitable e-mail from a chap called Ryx. I’ve only gone as far as watching the videos, but was enchanted. Jim had a crack, but hasn’t actually found time to post about it. We can’t keep this loveliness to ourselves any longer. It’s called Neverdaunt:8bit and it’s a sort of construction-MMO that’s currently in Beta. Basically, it appears to be an Indie Second Life for people who prefer 8-bit aesthetics and actual games over submissive gorean foxgirls. That is, better. Video follows…
I also like the fact the team behind it call themselves Robot<3Kitty. Bless.

I can confirm that this is crazy clever. Also: laggy.

I’ve played this before, and had a chat with the developer.
It’s an intuitive game, but it needs alot of polish.
It is laggy currently due to the fact that the developer is hosting it on his DSL line.
He’s currently looking for another place to host.

If that’s so, he’s a dead man now that the link’s been posted here.

It looks interesting. And cute as a button to boot.
…are buttons actually cute?

It looks nice, and the art style is great.
But…no foxgirls? I’m out.

Ooh shiny!
Like the music in the trailer. Also reminds me of Minecraft.

2009, the year of charming, independent, retro, construction MMOs?

Had the building exploded in a physics-ey way when the bomb went off i would’ve had to change my pants.

what is it with all these construction MMOs? I want to destroy things, not create!
08/10/2009 at 16:34 Harmen says:
Ah, plain old untextured polygons. Still the best :)

Bless, hosting on his DSL! This looks interesting…

Awesome. Also, theres LEGO MMO somewhere on the horizont. It will be a RPG version of LEGO Star Wars or more like this thing with more polish? Lets wait and see :-)
08/10/2009 at 16:52 Asskicker says:

Very rarely, but they’re certainly bright.

Is this what would happen if you channeled Love through an Amiga?

You just made me giggle until I nearly peed myself a little :P
08/10/2009 at 17:18 theleif says:
Oh, this gave me an idea. Imagine a Mario World-type of mmo, where you build up you own level and run around other levels, created by other players to get upgrades for your level. And so on. Could be sweet.
08/10/2009 at 17:21 James G says:
Isn’t it called Little Big Planet?
08/10/2009 at 18:55 Jon says:
That company name sounded familiar to me. I was wondering what it was for ages, before I realised. Robot finds kitten.

How did I screw up that link?

Way to go, robot! An art game that’s actually amusing to play, no less.
(
Kieron’s distate for foxgirls has been noted by the Furluminati, and elite yifftroopers are en-route to his current location to either suppress or re-educate him as necessary.Fnord.)08/10/2009 at 20:15 EyeMessiah says:
That’s some awesome music. Does anyone know what it is?
08/10/2009 at 22:05 Sam says:
The whole game is still in the works, and is still very enjoyable. Can’t wait till it gets a dedicated server.

Strange a girl who said that she was a fox came on steam group chat today
