Shack PSA: Free Love This Weekend

Related Topics – Love, Shack PSA, PC

Love, the impressive procedurally-generated MMO of construction and combat created by the wonderful Eskil Steenberg, will be free to play this weekend, Joystiq reports.

While Love usually costs around $13 (€10) per month--please, no jokes--it'll be free to play from around 1am Eastern on Friday until 7am Eastern on Monday. The free client will be released via the official Love site when the trial period kicks off.

Described by Eskil as "a cooperative online first-person adventure game," Love involves working together to build up settlements in the procedural world whilst competing with NPCs. Have a gander at the building in this early gameplay demonstration video.

Anyone out there that can explain the game a little bit?
Usually the screenshots are pretty descriptive but all I'm seeing is Impressionist Starwars art.

I was never able to play it more than 15 minutes..

Those screenshots certainly look astounding. Too bad for me that I'm going to be busy with guests this weekend.

Yeah, it's as free as the toothless hooker around the corner. She may not be a looker but even she comes with a price tag.

The only free love you will get is from one of your hands.

I was following this guy's progress for a while then just lost interest. He's an amazing programmer but this game seems to be a bad example of bottom up design. He just has a bunch of interdependent systems with the feel that there was no great overarching plan. I'll give it a go though. Maybe I am wrong.

- Sure it can - it's just more expensive than $13 and is only good for 30 min to an hour. :) : wfalcon
