Link to Forum discussion from Faunasphere (soon to end) to alternative game sites, Glitch mentioned often

forums.faunasphere.com/post...?

I liked the breeding of pets on faunasphere, you never really knew what exactly you would get. The fighting pollution was a grind though. Sorry to see the Big Fish MMO end.

  • sounds like faunasphere is a kid friendly game.

    you might want to pop in there and let them know that Glitch is for "Adults Only" and contains a fair amount of sexual and scatalogical humour. the forum posters there seem to be mostly excited by the fact that Glitch's graphics look "cute" and might be under the assumption that Glitch is something other than what it actually is.

    plus i'm not sure about their age range. it might be that many of the posters might not even be old enough to play Glitch, given its specified age restrictions.

  • Agreed striatic. Reading the forums, it looks like a lot of them are either pretty young or middle-aged women.

  • Still might be a boon to Tiny Speck - these people have already shown they're willing to plunk down money, and from what I've read, they are very social, and if we can convince them to come over en masse, Tiny Speck will have an even larger group of deeply commited players.

    Maybe Tiny Speck should offer to take over...

  • @striatic LOL.

  • Will there be something to actually prevent young people from playing Glitch?
    The people on that site sound as if most of them would like the kind of humour that's in the game and the things you can do, and especially the fact that it's not based on killing things.
    Kids like scatalogical humour best of all, by the way!
    Haven't noticed sexual references in the game itself, only in the chat - maybe it's too subtle for me...
    Middle aged women and in fact any woman who is not particularly uptight would not be offended by the chat that I've seen. Us 90 year olds need a place too! :)

  • Wait, why wouldn't Glitch be suitable for kids? What sexual/scatalogical humor are you thinking of? I'd rather any kid of mine play Glitch over say Club Penguin, any day.

  • Eglantine, the devs have explicitly stated that the game is for at least 16+ only.

    I'm guessing it has to do with the drug references, heavy drinking references, sexual humour like "happy endings for everyone" as a quest title and scatalogical humour like collecting bat poop and piggy plops.

    For whatever reason, the things you and Beryl believe are suitable for children, the devs have decided are not.

  • i'm quoting selectively here, but in a previous thread stoot said "This is definitely not a game intended for kids" and "But, there will be an minimum age spelled out … probably 16, maybe 18)"

  • Thanks for clarifying Stri, I see your point and I guess at least some of the moms in my mom's group would be unhappy at the idea of their underage kids playing Glitch.

    Massage therapist: Would you like a happy ending?
    Eglanteenager: Definitely - I know the butterflies in Glitch love those!

  • Question......what age is middle aged? Do women of a certain age not have any fun or intellect to actually play Glitch. Answer carefully now lol :)
    Also what is the average age of a alpha testing Glitch player ?

  • Haha, guys, be careful when talking about age and women...

  • Hmmm - not reached 90, but sure I'm past middle age, and now I have the time to have fun and play to my hearts content :) *Shakes head - yup marbles still rattling around up there. In some ways the subtleties rather remind me of Shrek where some things can go way over the head...but no Glitch isn't for the kiddies.

  • From comparing to other games' ESRB ratings, Glitch looks like a T (13+) to me.

  • LOL I mentioned Glitch first in the new games to play thread. How many points do I get for salesmanship?
    You would not believe all the IM's and PM's I got asking about it.

  • I checked out about a dozen of the other games they mentioned and didn't find any that seemed very good compared to glitch.
