PORT ANGELES — Multi Axis Games has launched Tweet Lord, an online game played through Twitter, at www.tweetlord.com.
“We are excited to launch our free game on Twitter, which is the hottest new social networking Web site,” said Margaret Staples, chief operating officer of Multi Axis Games.
“With Tweet Lord, the already playful Twitter community can literally play together, level up, collect and trade items in their own Twitter role playing game.”
Multi Axis Games is based in the Clallam County Business Incubator in Port Angeles.
The company is working on other multi-player online games.
Tweet Lord, which is still in the testing process, is free and open to the public.
The Tweet Lord Web site displays the top 10 players in various categories, contains information for players and offers a search function for finding player character sheets, which shows players’ actions.
How it works
Staples explained:
“Twitter has become a social networking phenomenon that has reached beyond the internet community to embrace traditional media outlets as well.
“Twitter members post updates consisting of a maximum of 140 characters.
“Twitter members can read updates by either becoming followers of other members or browsing the Twitter pages.”
According to Staples, “playing Tweet Lord is simple.
“Twitter users simply include a hash (#) followed by an action and “@TLGame” somewhere in their Twitter update and they are playing.
“Actions in the game include a wide variety of options such as #hug, #wave, #jump, #poke, #dance, and #search.
“Players can direct their actions towards others by including an @ followed by another Twitter user’s name.
“Since the game is so simple to play, it allows players to demonstrate their creativity by forming fun and interesting game messages or simply including game actions into normal updates.”
She added: “Tweet Lord gives Twitter use another dimension.
“It allows Twitter members to be more creative and fun with their updates and form tighter connections.”
