The Repopulation
Drips and drabs of information about the sci-fi sandbox The Repopulation have been coming in, but as with any title in early development, it's never enough to satiate the masses who want the whole scoop. So consider today's bounty of the first gameplay footage and a lore piece as an appetizer to tide you over until the main course.

The gameplay video demonstrates one of the core features of The Repopulation: its city-building system. During the 12-and-a-half minutes the video runs, fans can check out how cities are put together piece by piece using a wide variety of tools and fellow player cooperation. The devs also take this opportunity to discuss the UI, controls, and how alliances work in the game.

The team also posted a lore piece called Leesa's Story on the site. The vignette introduces the titular character, a cook who also happens to be a cook, and her misguided adventures going duck hunting.

The Repopulation is currently accepting signups for its alpha testing, which begins in June. You can watch the full video after the break.

[Thanks to J.C. for the tip!]

Every so often we get a truly excellent bit of writing from one of our One Shots contributors to go along with a great screenshot. Today we have one such story-treat for you from Redwense, pulled from a day in the life of EVE Online. Since it's a bit too large to fit on the front page, we're going to get all the normal column stuff out of the way early. If you'd like to stretch your creative writing wings with a very short story about your screenshot, mail it in to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, and the name of the game. We'll post it out here and let everyone enjoy! Be sure to read behind the break for the rest of Redwense's story.

"Look at it, Ryl. Isn't it beautiful? The way it shimmers in the sun, the amount of ore waiting to be extracted..."

With Global Agenda's current closed beta being all the buzz these days, getting in is no easy feat. Hi-Rez Studios is treating their testing phases as actual controlled testing -- with only around 1,000 people to start and mandatory feedback from the testers. If you're just looking for a free game to play for a few months, you might want to look elsewhere.

Going hand in hand with that, many Global Agenda fansites are being offered a very small amount of beta keys to distribute to their readers. You may remember earlier in the month when we gave away 10 keys for AgendaSource.com, and now we're here to help another fansite give away their keys. Keep reading below for more information.

Another Empyrean Age-themed EVE Online chronicle has emerged. This one relates to Tibus Heth, the head honcho of the Caldari faction. It's the fourth out of five in a series CCP has been adding to every single Monday. If you haven't read any of them, and you're an EVE player, you should check them out. The game's lore is one of its most underpraised assets.

This chronicle tells the tale of Caldari materials tech who makes a wrong move and gets dragged into some violent consequences. We won't spoil anything beyond that; check it out if you're interested. Our favorite part was a clever Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan reference. See if you can spot it!

The TR-Roleplayers are holding their 2007 Christmas Sweepstakes, but you only have a few days left to enter. So how do you do that?

If your story is chosen the best of the bunch (based on creativity, story flow, grammar and spelling) by the panel of volunteer judges you'll win a brand new Zboard, a Limited Edition Tabula Rasa Keyset, and a Tabula Rasa Fragmat. Now that's some serious bling for a 2,000 word short story! Heck, I think I'll enter! The winner will be announced sometime in early January 2008.

Best of luck to you recruit.
