And now from the world of unusual MMO's: Love gets a trailer photo

Watching the first trailer for Eskil Steenberg's procedurally-generated MMO, Love, I found myself experiencing a feeling I hadn't encountered since my first time booting up Myst.

Maybe it's the drenched landscapes of color or the music that makes me feel as if I am falling through a dream, but either way I have to admit to being even more intrigued with this game then I was before.

The trailer is exclusive over at RockPaperShotgun, so check it out here and see what you think. For action-oriented gamers, this will be more boring than watching paint dry, but if you were a big fan of Braid you'll likely be as intrigued as I am. There's no release date set for now, but I really do hope to see this project continue to expand, as it seems to bereaching for something innovative and different, which there isn't enough of in the industry these days.

[Thanks, Adam!]

It's nice to read such passion for games, especially when put so well.

It looks amazing. One thing I really like to do in MMOs is explore the scenery, so this looks right up my alley.

Awesome to see some new footage on this. I remember hearing about it a while back, and was pretty impressed by what that one guy was doing with all of the procedural generation.

I forgot about this. It looks incredible.

There seems to be a fair bit of action at the end of the video. I just hope the animation for the creatures gets better.

I read a preview of this in PCG a while back and have been waiting with baited breath ever since. It looks so good and clever aswell.

I've been following this game for a while as well. It looks like it's finally starting to take shape and from Eskil's blogs it doesn't seem like it will be too much longer before we see it in some type of playable form.
