Neverdaunt:8Bit MMO
Posted by Anthony Dickens
Perfect for those of us that just can't get enough of 8bit
We love 8bit, you love 8bit, we recommend you check this out when you've got some time to kill. Those who decide to take a dip into the world of N8* should come back and let us know what you find.
Neverdaunt:8Bit is a free to play Sandbox MMO set in a 8 bit stylized 3D world made out of blocks. Entirely shaped by its players the game world is ever changing. Players compete for control over areas and are free to build as they wish, with blocks and Tronics. There are no character classes or levels, power-ups and items worn define a character's abilities. With no preset quests, players can define their own goals, allowing them to play and create without restriction, making every player's experience a different one.
Players capture sections of the landscape and build using the game's flexible tools. Splendid castles, surreal sculptures and even floating islands are all waiting to be conquered or created in Neverdaunt. The battles that occasionally break out between communities are some of the most unusual in any game. Neverdaunt's charm is amplified by the weird expression of player's personalities within it. More than any other game, Neverdaunt seems like the output of the minds of its players.
N8* is hosted by our good friends at dx.net.

Something like that, this is on the signup page: "the Neverdaunt:8Bit client requires Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 "

Looks ugly as hell. Certainly doesn't make me think 8-bit when I see it.

What's this got to do with Nintendo? ...I'm sure an admin type is about to give me a perfectly good answer to that question, I'm just a little thrown by this article atm
Also, I second what pix said. Doesn't look pretty.

Why is it headline news on Nintendolife? Because dx.net (Nintendolife's host) hosts it.

Looks interesting.
However, the graphics are more like "awfully rendered lego graphics" than 8-bit. If I recall, no 8-bit system had polygons. Doesn't make me think of 8-bit.

I doesn't really look 8-bit and the graphics aren't that good but I'm not into mmos anyway.

Eh...I don't know about this thing. I just tried it out and it seemed like an interesting idea but there really isn't anything to do from what I saw.

3D Dot Game Heroes is a good rendition of 3D 8-bit.
This, however, is not.

not to be a buzzkill, but what does this have to do with Nintendo? In fact what does it even have to do with anything 8-bit? looks more like 32 ala ps1 or something.
