Big Fish Games, they of the casual gaming world who aren’t PopCap, have released a new game rather beautifully called Fauna Sphere. I love the name, I’m terrified by the game. It’s one of them-there free cutesy MMO things, with an animal of your creation – a Fauna – and tasks to complete. It seems rather competently done, but it keeps asking me to socialise with other players, which sounds simply awful. But you know, perhaps you’re not me and this is your sort of thing. Have a look at the trailer below to help make up your mind (although it’s hard to believe too many people will be swayed by the opening gambit, “BECOME A CARETAKER”), or play it for free via the magical clicking of this link.

I hope this game won’t learn our kids that dogs hatch from eggs.
it’s an MMO, not a neural net AI, it doesn’t learn anything :P
(I have no idea what you meant to say)
It’s blatantly obvious what he was saying.
Seriously, replace the word “learn” with the word “teach” and you’re golden. Not that big a leap!
English 101 to the rescue.
I do mean teach.
Dear John Walker,
In the sentence “I love the name, I’m terrified by the game.” I really feel that you should have used a semicolon instead of a comma, but then again that’s about the only punctuation, grammar, or spelling rule that I feel comfortable expressing familiarity with.

Sir, I am hereby revoking your license to grammar.

A comma works fine. Semicolons can be ostentatious, even confusing. Orwell has my back on this.
Oh, look, a FAQ.
Shouldn’t that be an FAQ?
Hurr!
Where did the MMO part of the game come in? Looked a rather solitary experience.
What could a turtle possibly bother?

“it keeps asking me to socialise with other players, which sounds simply awful.”
haha that sounds horrible
Yeah, I would give this a go (simply because its free and I’m a sucker for free) but the account creation seems to be broken. I can’t even enter anything in the text boxes. Amateurs.
/me goes off for a smoke and coffee before his ire drowns the world.
JOHN YOU ARE A TURTLE WITH A LIGHT ON YOUR SHELL. That’s awesome!
Seeing as how this is RPS I’m surprised to see no mention that Fauna Sphere is from the creator of Asheron’s Call.
For some reason when the website bitches at you for not having cookie settings “the right way” they disable the text fields. And any attempt at refreshing the page redirects you back to that page. Since they use php, I found the easiest solution was to eliminate any text beyond and including the question mark in the http bar and trying the page from there.
