Divergence Online (Currently in Dev.)
Ok, so I came across this game currently in development today. This game looks like it could be something I've been waiting for for years now, and I think if/when it gets finished, it could be the next big mmorpg. The game's called Divergence, and it's a sci fi hardcore survival sandbox mmorpg. (say that 5 times fast.) It's been in the works for a LONG time now, the reason it's taken so long is because A: Only one man has done nearly EVERYTHING on the project, while having to get his own income making games for other folks and going through other hardships. and B: Because he has no money to hire a professional team to help him finish it fast enough. I know heart when I see it, and this guy has put his heart and soul into creating this game! If you want to learn more about the project, I'm linking his youtube videos along with his indegogo page, please check it out and if you like what you see, spread the word!

Re: Divergence Online (Currently in Dev.)
Man, this looks good for one guy Very ambitious and I hope he pulls it off. I was reading some of the details on the indiegogo page and it really intrigues me like with the full physics world and combat. From what it looks like, he has a very efficient physics system with possibly a lot of tricks to make it run so smoothly. I'm going to try donating soon Thanks for sharing Ravenous

If we get enough people from these forums on it once it come out... We could have a town? Call it Lyn'knoll?

Re: Divergence Online (Currently in Dev.)
I'm sure we could, it's designed for maximum player freedom after all. Ethan says in his blog that we can name it pretty much whatever we want as long as it isn't copyrighted or blatently offensive. So if tom's ok with us using the name I'm sure it would be all good. We'd just have to elect a mayor and defend it against other players.anonfox123 wrote:If we get enough people from these forums on it once it come out... We could have a town? Call it Lyn'knoll?

Re: Divergence Online (Currently in Dev.)
I freaking want this game to happen as much as I want Star Citizen to happen. I want to rob a few banks and dump money on the people behind these games. Seriously.

Re: Divergence Online (Currently in Dev.)
You and me both man! if we get enough people to just get the beta access we could help this man make his dream and an AMAZING game! Hell, whenever a celebrity tweets something, it gets shared thousands of times over, we just have to find a good way to get the word out.Insomniac wrote:I freaking want this game to happen as much as I want Star Citizen to happen.

Maybe we could try and get it noticed by Roosterteeth? A link to it from their podcast or something could be a godsend for this guy.Ravenous222 wrote:You and me both man! if we get enough people to just get the beta access we could help this man make his dream and an AMAZING game!

Re: Divergence Online (Currently in Dev.)
If anyone knows someone semi famous in the gaming industry tell em! lol I sent tom's brother a msg over youtube, as well as tons others, but due to the amount of spam messages I can imagine people get it was probably overlooked. :/ I really wanna help Ethan out though, the guy's worked too hard on it to see it fall.anonfox123 wrote:Maybe we could try and get it noticed by Roosterteeth?

Re: Divergence Online (Currently in Dev.)
This is a good plan. This game, and Star Citizen, are gonna be, like...the [censored] future of SciFi MMO gaming. UGH I wish I had money to throw at these people!

Re: Divergence Online (Currently in Dev.)
I went ahead and sent Joe a PM on the TGWTG forums. He did a video for Star Citizen, so I don't see him not doing a video for this game. He can be a little intense, but I agree with him more than I disagree and I like his reviews.Ravenous222 wrote:.

Re: Divergence Online (Currently in Dev.)
Any kind of publicity would surely help out. But I'll tell you what, if I had the cash, those vindicators/vellators look freaking SIIIIIIICK!Insomniac wrote:I went ahead and sent Joe a PM on the TGWTG forums.
