Let me start out by saying that I'm a huge Marvel fan. I enjoy playing all sorts of console games that are associated with Marvel and that are similar to them. With so many RPG-Marvel games out, like X-men, Spiderman, Ultimate Alliances, Fantastic Four, etc. It's hard to believe that there aren't that many(if any) live Marvel games here on BYOND. Thus the reason behind this Marvel Life project; to create a live Marvel game, here on BYOND!


This game that I'm working on will focus on character creation: customizing player character to fit their "dream" super-hero or super-villain! I've seen a few Marvel-like games here on BYOND that did a lot of that but yet not enough. There is going to be a lot of little-tiny-bitty detail in everything, from simple objects like rocks, to powers/abilities. The goal of it all is to make players feel like they are in control of every single aspect of their character;

-Being able to control their abilities/powers to their maximum capability. I want players to be able to start natural disasters like forcing a meteor shower upon the city. Maybe not with just a click of a simple verb, but with the help of other players to build certain technological machines that will enhance the powers. This way every resource and every power/skill is utilized. We believe in having even the passive abilities inconed and mapped.
-No one hit kills. I don't want players to obtain a vast amount of powers/abilities/skills(whatever you want to call them) and only use one to single handed kill an enemy. Certain skills will do damage, but not to the extant where it can kill someone in one click. We want players to be able to use powers as much as they like, build combos with other players, use every single power, and eventually obtain a skill or a mastery of their character. That way a good player is not determined by the number of hours they play or put into the game(although that does help) but how well constructed the character really is.
-Building a name in this game will not be defined by how well you know the owner/game masters but by how well you play and how well you utilize every resource in-game. Growing powerful in game should be possible, maybe not over night, or over week, but mainly based on how much progress you make. Ranks are created by players, they make others see the importance of it.
-Having limits is over rated. We don't want to have players reach the limit of the game, by however one might do this, like maxing out all their stats and having millions in the bank and then sit in OCC(or whatever other games name it) and no longer participate in game. This game will always have a way for a player to become stronger, to take over the world/humanity, to enslave the living or the dead, control vast of armies and just completely dominate.






Over all, having a fun fan community who share similar interests should encourage players to contribute their suggestions. I have a lot of content I want this game to have, but I'd love to know what other players want this game to have. I encourage you to drop me a line, whether it's one word or a billion, I'll read it and have my feedback as soon as possible. I believe working with players is how online gaming should be, so please don't hesitate to contact me to talk about any aspect of this game. If you think it, then it's worth talking about it :)
