It switched over to Unit圓D mainly to support being run in a web browser - the management at Turner Entertainment wanted to avoid requiring young players to install and update a game client. This is actually information that you won't find on FusionFall's Wikipedia page, but FusionFall had originally been written using the Gamebryo engine. There were a couple of times where they flew a manager to Korea just to get communication moving.Īt first, we thought it was a language and time zone barrier combined with known challenges on the technology side of things. From my semi-insider perspective I learned that Grigon (in South Korea) had been really slow to answer messages from the management (in the US). There was a span of MONTHS where development seemed to just be completely halted - we knew there were promised features on the horizon, but we never got any updates, not even bugfix patches. I mentioned that the development studio, Grigon, could sometimes be painfully out of touch. Oh! I forgot to finish the story, didn't I. The team from Children of Ur are working with another team from another revival of the game to try and make a better build of the game.

There's at least two revivals, one of them is currently in alpha and is called Children of Ur, completely free to play, provided you've got a browser, but it hasn't been updated for some time AFAIK. It's a bit hard to explain, but there is a Wikipedia page. Glitch was basically an old MMORPG thing where you'd collect things to make other things and give them to the gods or screw over the economy. Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory was the central NPC in the story, the Kids Next Door were coordinating the resistance effort against the alien overlord invading the planet, and heroes like the Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack were contributing their strength in the war effort. The thing that set it apart was that it was a Cartoon Network crossover game - representatives from LOTS of different CN shows were there.

The general gameplay was a pretty standard MMORPG with instance dungeons containing bosses and quests given by characters in the world. I'm not familiar with a game named 'Glitch.' (It was in part thanks to our efforts and feedback that we got features like the Croc Pot and even going so far as to rebalance the XP system to avoid the stupidly tedious stereotypical Korean MMORPG grind that most FusionFall players didn't want to deal with.)Įspy, since you used to play, what was your in-game name and/or your forum name?

They served as the liaisons between us as representatives of the player base and the South Korea-based development team Grigon that was honestly pretty out of touch. Viva and I also helped out as citizen moderators on the official game forums, helping answer questions about the game, cautioning new users about the rules, and when possible even providing technical support for other players.įor our efforts in helping the community, we were invited into a newly-formed Player Advisory Council, where the forum staff would solicit feedback about the game and various community issues. With the help of Viva Alecto ( Mandie LeScum) and others, we screened applicants to make sure that we weren't spreading information to people who didn't already know it. So I started the FusionFall Explorers website with a forum hidden from public view. The conclusion was that the staff at the time didn't so much care about our little group exploring the game world because we were behaving ourselves, but they didn't want discussion of game exploits on the forums and they didn't want us to share our information around because they didn't want to deal with the support requests if kids got themselves stuck out of bounds or, worse, got their account stuck in a crash loop because they saved somewhere unstable. I ended up being one of the leading explorers of the game, and when the moderators started cracking down on 'glitching' they talked to me about it. I heard about the possibility of a way to break out of bounds, and I started searching. I ended up never getting past about level 17, because I got distracted from the main gameplay by exploration. I went ahead and followed through with the character design my wife wanted to pursue, collecting the equipment necessary to do a Sailor Moon cosplay. So I ended up playing on my wife's account because she lost interest in the game fairly quickly. My own personal account got caught up in it if I tried to log in, the game would crash. Okay, so first off, my own background with the game.Įarly on in the game's lifecycle there was a problem with the account servers.
