Our take on MMO98
Instead of placing players inside an MMO world, the game focuses on the company behind one. Its progression replaces character advancement or territorial conquest with server expansion, bug resolution, game releases, and audience growth.
What is MMO98?
Build an MMO development studio from a small operation into a worldwide business in this short incremental game.
Reinvest earnings in server infrastructure to support a growing player base, expand server capacity across different regions, and respond to technical problems as they appear. Bug fixing is part of maintaining the studio’s games and player base. The workflow also includes creating mass-market releases, producing sequels, expanding the studio’s capabilities, and growing its audience. Progress is presented through an old-school desktop interface, with the full experience lasting about four hours. The objective is to develop the studio toward the position of the world’s number-one MMO game company.
