Indie developer Silverlode Interactive accosted me outside the press room at GDC to show me their new MMORTS (Massively Multiplayer Online Real-Time Strategy) game, SAGA. The game looks interesting enough, and given the fact that it's essentially free, it very well may be worth your time. I checked out the beta yesterday, and I have to say that I have no idea what I'm doing. There seemed to be plenty of people who did, however, so maybe I just missed something.

Either way, SAGA has just entered open beta for the public, so you can give the game a shot for yourself. Full press release can be viewed at the site, as well as screenshots and a trailer.

MMORPG Center has teamed up with Silverlode Interactive to bring you an exciting contest for SAGA! From Feb 1 2008 to Feb 14 2008, MMORPG Center will accept player-submitted guides for SAGA. The guides may be about city management, game-play strategy or other topics that help new players who are just learning the game.

The best 3 guides will receive prizes in the form of 10 SAGA booster packs each, and will be published on MMORPG Center, and the SAGA official site.

Saga is a persistent game and played online in a massively-multiplayer environment. Every building you build, troop you buy, and piece of land you conquer remains with you as long as you play the game. That means every time you fight your friends, you won't have to rebuild your castle from scratch. It also means every time your buildings get damaged or your troops killed, they stay that way unless you repair or resurrect them. Troops gain experience over time, meaning that they move with you from battle to battle, improving their skills and finding exciting new armor and weapons to equip themselves with.

Black Wing Foundation has just posted a new Q&A on their site for their upcoming title Salvation.
» Read More 

Black Wing Foundation has announced the newest effort by hive-minders to prep the present generation for a false Christ and Antichrist through genetic modification.

The games maker announces "Salvation," an upcoming third-person shooter that is scheduled to be released for the PC and XBOX 360 in the second quarter of 2009.

The press release explains that in the year 2026, the World government resorted to stem cells and gene engineering to stage the Judgment Day. They created genetic replications of Christ and Antichrist and destroyed them right away in the course of events to set forth severe fundamentalism on Earth, propped up by the idea of communicating with God via machines as well as by an army of cloned creatures, called Angels.

Every step of mankind is controlled by the will of a handful of technocrats looking after several super-servers 'linked-up to heaven', so as to make any of their decisions the only and right one. The population is kept in constant stasis, technologies are forbidden, and each and every person has to 'repent' once a week. 'Repent' means a weekly brain-scan. For any wrong thoughts found, the individual may be executed or sent to Hell - a cybernetic virtual environment system that makes a person suffer immensely.
