The news of Driftmoon and the monkkonen.net website update have been well received, although Ahrenjb demanded to see robots and lasers. We’ll see what we can do. Most have compared Driftmoon to my previous game Notrium, and rightfully so. They do appear to be similar in screenshots, although they play a bit differently. The key difference here is that while Notrium was a very fast paced action game, focusing on survival, Driftmoon will be much more about adventure, exploring and story. In short, except for the similar viewpoint, these games are quite different. Most of you have played Notrium, so I’m still probably going to use it as a reference when talking about Driftmoon.

After the website update all of the download links for monkkonen.net were broken for a couple of days. They should be fixed now, so please report any problems here in the blog comments. Commenting the blog doesn’t require registration, so feel free to just pop in.
No worries Ville, I’m not knocking the new game. Any game produced with sufficient creativity and thought, especially one which allows for open world exploration and self interpretation of how things should be done is a good game. I just have an unhealthy lust for technological whatnots.
Even with a lack of such I’m highly anticipating this new game, and eagerly look forward to being able to play it. Carry on, good man. For you lack many of the inhibitions and fears that most developers fall victim to.
Thank you, I’m eagerly waiting for the game too! But does this mean that I have to remove the robots now?
Oh no, not at all. The robots are welcome to stay. Do they have lasers?
No I’m afraid.
At my day job we added a huge robot with lasers to teach kids reading. I’m sure the reception will be warm when the 8 year olds see it instead of their old boring books.
