Rock, Paper, Shotgun has an exclusive trailer of Eskil Steenberg’s impressionistic MMO game Love. Lovely visuals. It’s nice to finally see the characters roaming around and… fighting with one another! In the most beautiful way, of course.
And the music, by Ian Dorsch, fits perfectly, in my opinion.

Procedurally-generated world. Procedurally-generated characters. Deformable terrain. Day/night cycles and environmental effects. Massively multiplayer and online. ONE developer.
Do I even need to mention that he’s a Swede? ...I imagine that Eskil Steenberg, like hearty Obelix from the Asterix comic books, might have fallen into a cauldron of Swedish magic water when he was a kid.
But perhaps I’m being too presumptuous, seeing as the game is still in development. In any case, Love certainly looks beautiful, with computer-created graphics that look painted with a brush. And its cooperative gameplay, though vaguely outlined at this point, sounds very different from your average MMOG.
Eskil’s development blog is full of interesting musings, too, so check it out. I like his latest post, in which he defines his own independence:
