About 2D Space MMO

Hi, my name is Paul Firth and I'm the sole developer of 2D Space MMO.

A couple of years ago, I decided to quit my nice, stable, 10 year job in games industry to go indie and make the games I've always wanted to make. I set up Wildbunny and dabbled around with a couple of experimental games and started a blog which you may have seen before (www.wildbunny.co.uk/blog).

This game represents all that I've learned during that time. Its far from being finished as you can probably tell; in fact its more of a tech demo than anything else. The reason you're able to play it right now is because I've decided to crowd fund the development of the game. This has become a necessity because I'm fast running out of money to pay the bills and I really, really want to get the chance to complete this game - I've got some quite grand plans for it.

Imagine being able to go on MMO style quests with your friends, working together to battle through huge shared worlds which resemble those old shoot-em-ups like RType or Gradius, destroying each gun of a massive enemy ship before taking out the power-cell in its centre.

Or imagine all working together in teams to pilot a large mecha ship (similar but more advanced than the one in the current game) all the way to the opposing teams base, avoiding the automatic gun turrets that they placed there earlier and their line of defensive players, to drop some explosive charges right on the core part of their base.

Those are just a couple of the ideas I've got for the future of this game. I hope you like them.

Thanks for reading, Paul Firth.
