For all of you Elf and lightning bolt haters out there, <a href="http://www.mindfusegames.com/">MindFuse</a> may have found a solution to your MMO blues. As was <a href="http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/mindfuse-receives-1m-investment-for-new-mmos">recently announced</a>, the game developer has secured $1 million USD in convertible note funding from <a href="http://www.k4forum.com/">Keiretsu Forum</a> angel investors for an MMO project they're currently working on. What project is that, you might ask? According to the MindFuse website, they're developing a Victorian-themed MMO entitled <em><a href="http://www.mindfusegames.com/">The World of Gatheryn</a></em>.<br /><br />The game is described as "a massive multi-player world of adventure, mystery and romance." It's said to include interactive games and puzzles, with "new adventures appearing with each successful solution." So is this what we've been waiting for? It's not high fantasy. It's not cheesy sci-fi. Can a Victorian Age MMO work for those looking for something different? Take a tour through the website and check out the gorgeous screenshots, gameplay explanation and storyline entry for yourself, and let us know what you think.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/10/09/mindfuse-gets-1m-in-funding-for-a-victorian-mmo/">MindFuse gets $1M in funding for a Victorian MMO</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 09 Oct 2008 10:00:00 EST.
