Hey everyone, it's your favorite day -- Friday! The weekend is fast approaching, so let's kick it off by checking out a brand-new game!<br />
<br />
This week's topic of the livestream is <a href="http://quelsolaar.com/"><em>LOVE</em></a>, the single-man MMO created by <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/eskil-steenberg">Eskil Steenberg</a>. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/love"><em>LOVE</em></a> is a surreal fantasy where players fortify their settlements against waves of hostile computer-controlled tribes. However,<em> LOVE</em> doesn't stop the players at creating just fortifications alone! Players can terraform the environment, lay down power lines to defensive weaponry, construct buildings, and more!<br />
<br />

While everyone's off enjoying the holidays, there's no rest for <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/eskil-steenberg">Eskil Steenberg</a>. The one man of the one-man-MMO team is working hard though the holidays, putting together <a href="http://news.quelsolaar.com/#post61">26 major new features</a> for the introduction of the <a href="http://quelsolaar.com/love/index.html"><em>Love</em></a> beta test.<br />
<br />
While the features are secret, Eskil is <a href="http://twitter.com/quelsolaar">updating his Twitter account</a> with information on the new features as he completes them. Once all 26 items are done, Eskil will be updating <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/love"><em>Love</em></a> and sending the game into beta. Currently the features look quite interesting -- such as new specialized settlements, sound pathing for the game, letting the game's AI use teleporter guns, a new building type (prisons), and something that is only <a href="http://twitter.com/quelsolaar/status/7096440721">referred to as "armageddon."</a> Whatever the heck armageddeon is, it sounds awesome.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/12/28/love-counts-down-to-the-launch-of-beta-account-holders-play-fre/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Love counts down to the launch of beta, account holders play free</em></a></p><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/2009/12/28/love-counts-down-to-the-launch-of-beta-account-holders-play-fre/">Love counts down to the launch of beta, account holders play free</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 28 Dec 2009 13:00:00 EST.

<div align="left">The above picture is not a lie -- it's the login screen to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/eskil-steenburg">Eskil Steenburg</a>'s one man MMO, <a href="http://www.quelsolaar.com/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love</span></a>. Mr. Steenburg has just recently <a href="http://news.quelsolaar.com/#home">pushed the client into open alpha,</a> letting users download and run the game on their PCs, but not log into the game. Not yet, at least.<br /><br />However, running the client is quite important, as it will send Eskil a few important statistics. The client will collect the name of your video card, if it supports the three OpenGL extensions he uses, and it will count how many people are interested so he can go invest in some servers without going overboard. So if you're interested in eventually playing the game, you can jump on over to his website, <a href="http://www.quelsolaar.com/">Quel Solaar</a>, and <a href="http://news.quelsolaar.com/#post56">grab yourself the open alpha</a> of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/love"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love</span></a> to "register your interest" by running the client on your machine. Plus, you get treated to an awesome look at <span style="font-style: italic;">Love</span>'s beautiful dynamic graphics.</div>
