There isn’t enough blood and guts in browser-based web games. That appears to be one reason that Resistor Productions has launched a new massively multiplayer online role-playing game for adults.
The San Francisco company launched its game, Disciple, to about 12,000 pre-registered users today. The idea is to provide a graphically appealing game without forcing users to download a lot of code before they start playing. In the fantasy world of the game, dubbed Aphelion, players focus on dismembering each other in an arena. The players compete for a currency known as “geldors.” Players can join groups known as clans to crush all of their foes in big battles.
