With APB having just been launched to the masses last month, developer Realtime Worlds has already revealed their next project, and it’s an ambitious one: Project: MyWorld.
As the project’s website describes it, it’s not exactly a traditional videogame. “Project: MyWorld turns the real world into a fun 3D social gaming experience,” the site explains. “Project: MyWorld is a virtual recreation of the real world combined with 3D gaming and social media.” Perhaps the idea behind the project is better summed up by a rhetorical question Realtime Worlds raises: “What would it look like if Nintendo built Google Earth?”
Well, apparently the answer is a virtual space that is purportedly a recreation of the world (although only locations in the United Kingdom are shown so far in the available screenshots) where players can purchase and own property, build new structures on that property, and interact with other players in the “game.” Project: MyWorld also boasts integration with a number of social networking websites, including Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Google, and Loopt.
