We’ve just ran through a major test and review session of the Mafia Empire update on our Beta servers. We’ll be making a few more tweaks to the system but the short of it is that it’s about ready for release. Expect it soon, like next week soon.
If you’ve played 1 Mafia game on Facebook you’ve played them all; well more or less and Mafia Empire despite having the flash combat system didn’t really break out of the that mold.
We decided to go with a new direction 2 weeks back and I was surprised that the whole ME project team was very supportive about redo-ing 80-90% of the work done so far.I guess the commitment to producing good/different games is a company wide thing.
The name will remain the same but the theme is more “assassins” rather than Mafia. The art style and character design will also be crazier. Hopefully stylish crazy not just insane crazy. Something along the lines of ‘No More Heroes’ and ‘God Hand’.
‘Big Trouble in Little China’ is one of the movies we’ll using as a reference for the Hong Kong / Chinatown leg of the story so I think you might be able to see where we’re going with this.
The size game world has also been increased. Now instead of traveling around a single city the story will take you to many different cities across the globe (Atlantic City, Hong Kong, Tokyo, etc).
