In preparation for the soon to be released Mac version of Multiwinia, Ambrosia Software has posted a new gameplay preview of the colorful multiplayer strategy title. Multiwinia will take place in the wireframe world first seen in Darwinia. This time players will be able to battle for supremacy against computer AI and human opponents via LAN or online play.
Long ago a computer scientist called Dr Sepulveda created a beautiful digital world existing entirely within a computer network of his own invention. This world was called Darwinia and it was inhabited by a peaceful, law-abiding digital life-form called the Darwinians. As the years wore on however the Darwinians became ever more aggressive and autonomous. They divided into factions, squabbling over Darwinia's limited natural resources. Tribes began to roam the fractal voids hell bent on each other's destruction, drunk on power and unswerving in the pursuit of world supremacy. Far and wide, they became known as the Multiwinians….
Gameplayer has the latest official screen-shots of Introversion's innovative new RTS: The game seems to be equal parts Medieval: Total War and Tron.
From the official forum of Introversion: Admittedly it's been on the rumour-mill for a while and quite possibly one of the worst-kept secrets in Introversion's history, but recent events meant we thought it was time to end the speculation once and for all! Three years on from Darwinia's release on PC and we are really happy to confirm that we're working with Microsoft to bring both Darwinia, and our next title Multiwinia: Survival of the Flattest, onto the Xbox LIVE® Arcade service. Due for release in early Autumn 2008, both games will be released under one package called Darwinia+.
Introversion Software has announced that the private beta test for Multiwinia will be starting very soon, and are inviting all Introversion fans that are interested in testing Multiwinia to sign up to be a beta tester.
Indie developer Introversion has confirmed that Multiwinia, the multiplayer update of RTS title Darwinia, is on track for a summer release this year. I'd hesitate saying a month, but you're more than welcome to say it's going to be out in the summer of 2008, a company rep told VG247. We've got some announcements about Multiwinia as well, which we're going to make about April-May time, when we get the website up and running.
Gameplayer has got word on a stack of new details for the sequel to cult classic Darwinia. Introversion, the indie studio responsible for Uplink, DEFCON, and the upcoming Subversion, has been working on Multiwinia for some time. It's reached the point where in-depth play-testing can occur, and quirky interface oddities that make perfect sense to the game's programmers can be weeded out in favour of game controls that newcomers can understand.
