Multiverse, which has used the news of James Cameron joining it's board of directors has gone beta with their first game that uses the Multiverse engine: Kothuria.
Maybe I'm just turning into a crotchety old gamer.Maybe I've been reading too many design books, and maybe I'm getting tired of the whole MMOG marketspace.
Or maybe, just maybe, Kothuria is as unimpressive as it looks. I have to be honest, I haven't played the game. There's a lot that you can't tell from the screenshot, like how it plays. But there are other clues in the interface, and in the way that the actions are processed that give the game away as a circa-1999 Everquest 1 clone. I tried to find a better screenshot that would illustrate the similarities, but there just don't seem to be any on the net anymore.
