Posts: 17,366 Group: All Powerful Deity Member #1 Joined: December 30, 2005	A few weeks back, I saw a trailer for a really cool upcoming superhero game that I thought had great potential. For some reason, I was too dumb to save the page and forgot the game's name entirely. Today I accidentally stumbled onto it again. Ladies and gents, I give you Awakened: So according to my digging around, this was apparently a game originally developed by Midway, pre-bankruptcy, called Hero. After Midway died, a bunch of the developers got together and formed "Phosphor Games", continuing the project under a new name. This trailer obviously shows a very early design of the game, possibly an alpha build, but it looks pretty amazing. It's like taking Prototype and giving it a decent character creation system to ensure the player is more immersed in their role. The trailer shows other superbeings in the world this game takes place in so...could this imply online multiplayer, or is it exclusively story based? Only time will tell.

I decided to look back into it to see what happened and, wouldn't you know it, these guys started up a Kickstarter recently to see if they can get this thing back on it's feet: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1312036782/project-awakened Watch the videos in the link, they show off and talk about some serious potential this game has. It'll be using the Unreal 4 Engine now and, it's not really just an open world superhero game anymore, but so much more. This game has reached Minecraft levels of world creation and customisation, except it's focused more on character customisation within a setting as well as versatile modding that'll pretty much allow you to create any world you desire. This stuff got me thinking really deep; guys, this could actually change the way we ROLEPLAY. Think about it, we could literally create the worlds and settings of our RPs, as well as the characters, then actually play out the roleplays ourselves, through our avatars, in real time. This could work for both, forum RPing as well as tabletop (to some extent). If this thing turns out to be as big and customisable/moddable as the devs are claiming it is, it could open up a whole new way for us to interract with each other. I seriously hope it reaches the intended target goal and gets off the ground, it could be a serious boost the medium needs in giving the players the freedom to create the games they want to play.

Looks like they're up on Steam Greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=126109020&searchtext=awakened Also, I stumbled on their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/projectawakened?ref=nf

Decent polearm combat animations have proven to be more difficult. I do hope that this manages to kick off, though 400k away in six days is indeed a roughy.
