With Remnants Of Earth<\/a> being covered by Kotaku<\/a>, PC Gamer<\/a> and Massively Overpowered<\/a>, amongst others, releasing a game in Second Life at the moment might be good timing. Second Life is also getting some decent publicity for a change in other quarters, although some of that is due to Linden Lab’s as yet unseen nextgen virtual world and the hype cycle around Virtual Reality.<\/p>\n

However, long time Second Life game makers MadPea Games<\/a> will soon be releasing their most ambitious title yet, UNIA. They have already enlisted the assistance of Draxtor Despres to make a promotional video showing the people behind the avatars<\/a> who want to play UNIA :<\/p>\n

The advertisement will be created by the incomparable Draxtor Despres, who is known for his videos depicting the many facets of Second Life and the humans behind the avatars.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

MadPea have also been asking :\u00a0What are you doing to get ready for UNIA?<\/a>\u00a0However you may be wondering, just what on earth is UNIA?<\/a><\/p>\n

UNIA is an action-packed game unlike anything you have seen in Second Life before. Full of puzzles and monsters, it will keep the players on their toes the whole time.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bold claim indeed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

UNIA starts the morning after the night before, the night before being a wedding. Awakening in strange surroundings and then realising, you can’t remember what happened :<\/p>\n

Suddenly a horrible thought arises and I feel panic creeping into my body. I don\u2019t remember how I got home. In fact, the last thing I remember is running past the merry-go-round, feeling someone was following me.<\/em><\/p>\n

My whole body feels sore as I go through each part of it in my mind. Toes and fingers barely move. I appear to be lying face down on something very prickly and hard. The air around me smells like vinegar. I don\u2019t hear anything apart from a strong steady humming. I feel imminent danger lurking around me and I\u2019m trying not to move. Slowly I open my eyes, but it doesn\u2019t help much, it\u2019s all dark. I sit up waiting for my eyes to adjust to the darkness and feel my face and body with my hands. To my horror I realize that my fancy dress and heels from last night are not on me anymore, instead I\u2019m dressed in what appears to be an orange prison overall. I stand up and instantly vomit.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The thing with MadPea Games is that they often come with a good storyline and UNIA looks like being no exception. So far, like most of you, I’m in the dark about UNIA, what it will entail, what the challenges are, what you will have to do. I may have to go and visit Kess Crystal for some Tuna Fish sandwiches to find out more, but for now, I’ll leave you with the trailer.<\/p>\n
