Love Is Still One Of The Prettiest Video Games, But Now It’s More Violent

“Have you met Eskil Steenberg?” I ask this question a lot when I go to the Game Developer’s Conference, an annual gathering of more than 15,000 game developers here in San Francisco. You’ve got to meet Eskil, I tell my fellow reporters. The guy is amazing.

“My goal is not to make you more powerful than other people,” Eskil Steenberg, the video game developer recently told Kotaku, as he explained which video game design rule he is breaking. “It is to let you be more respected.”

Love: The Debut Trailer

Hey. PC gamers. In case you’ve forgotten, you need to know that one of the most exciting PC games in development at the moment isn’t coming from Valve. Or from id, or from Relic, or from Creative Assembly. It’s coming from Eskil Steenberg. He’s at work, single-handedly, on the MMO Love, which although difficult to describe, basically amounts to a co-operative MMO, built atop procedurally-generated worlds, that plays out like a summer cocktail made from Populous, Spore, shooters and everything in between. At the link below you’ll find the game’s debut trailer, and while you’re watching it, remember: everything you see is the work of one man.

Love Footage

The clip is a little old, but also largely unseen, so up it goes. This is some early, early footage (complete with introductory commentary) of Love, Eskil Steenberg’s one-man MMO project that we’ve spoken gushed over previously. Yes, the vid’s quality is awful, but even still, once you get to the bits where the sun’s out and you can see the whole world wavering like some gorgeous virtual landscape painting, you’ll be glad you watched it.

Love Is A Procedurally-Generated MMO

This is Love. Love is different. It’s a little bit FPS, it’s a little bit MMO, it’s a little bit adventure game. The basic deal is as follows: it’s an online game, which you play in small groups, and it’s hoped those small groups will band together as they work through and explore the game world. Sounds OK so far, so here’s the kick: the game world is procedurally-generated. It’s highly ambitious, and also incredibly beautiful (that shot above is a screen), doubly so when you find out it’s all the work of one guy: Eskil Steenberg. You can check out Love’s progress at the site below. Love [Official Site, via Rock, Paper, Shotgun]
