It's here! The Electric Sheep have teamed up with Warner Bros. to produce the I Am Legend survival horror game, playable in SL right now! Based on the upcoming movie of the same name, the game will let players take sides in a dying, apocalyptic New York.
From the press release: "The game features player-customizable avatars loosely based on characters in the film, New York City-based environments that change and expand over time and supports both voice and text chat for in-game multiplayer communication."
One can play as either Infected or Uninfected, with survival at the heart of the game. The simulacrum of New York City will itself degrade over time, with the participants able to have a say in exactly how this will happen, via the game's blog. For full information, go to http://iamlegendsurvival.com, where you can teleport to the game site within SL.
1. Had a chance to run around in there during beta earlier this week. Very well put together - visually arresting, but more importantly engaging because it is built on user/user interaction. This project rebuts the argument that all commercial builds are evil - this level of interactivity is what companies should be looking to create when they come to SL.
