The parody fairy tale MMO: Secondhand Lands

chautemoc | June 28, 2008 | Previews | PC 
Independent digital distribution network (publisher is so much easier to say, but hey) Pixel Mine will be working with Austin-based developer Callipygian on its very first title, called Secondhand Lands (SL).

SL is an "edgy fairy-tale" free MMO involving the "eternal struggle between two sisters: Little Bo Peep and Little Red Riding Hood"; gamers can choose to play as sheep or wolves, depending which side they want to be on. Kind of reminds me of a Little Red Riding Hood book parody I read as a kid. Anyone else read that? If Callipygian can translate the utter fun of that book to the game, it should be a blast.
[SL] will utilize Pixel Mine's microtransaction system.

Made up of a number of staff members of Austin studios like Aspyr, Callipygian says the game will be targeted at casual gamers and "the disillusioned 'Mega-MMO' veteran who wants more interaction with the developers in their gaming experience."

Said Callipygian founder and Secondhand Lands lead, "We chose to work with Pixel Mine because they offered us the best value for our company and our players. As an independent developer it is very difficult to find a distribution deal that gives us a package with everything we need to manage accounts and handle payments. Also, we are excited to be working with another Austin company; this town is rich with talent and services tailored for game creation."
