Quel Solaar’s ‘LOVE’ Gets Dated

Eskil Steenberg, the ambitiously ambitious independent developer behind LOVE, has announced a March 25th launch date for the online game. The game will be subscription based, available initially on PC only but their are plans for an OSX and Linux version.

LOVE operates at the interesting intersection of several genres. From the descriptions on the site and the available videos it is a procedurally generated word in which you cooperatively build a community that you must defend from five other artificial intelligence driven tribes. So we have elements of MMOs, tower defenders, adventures element, and who knows what else. I am particularly curious to see how the procedurally generated world compares to things like Dwarf Fortress who’s procedural nature has lead to some of the most unique play experiences I’ve ever heard of.

Below is a teaser trailer along with a few screenshots of the game selected out of a much larger set on the official website.
