SAVEgame

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005

SAVEgame is a role-playing game set in the world of computer and videogames. This historical period began in the 195’s, with the creation of a game that became known as Pong. The creation of videogames has become a multi-million dollar industry, with technological advancements improving the videogame experience from a pair of white blobs trying to hit a smaller white blob past each other, to nearly photo-realistic three-dimensional representations of people with imaginary backgrounds armed with fantastic weapons trying to kill each other’s nearly photo-realistic representation.

Players take on the roles of videogame characters in a (mostly) consensual videogame world. SAVEgame is all about what videogame characters do when not being possessed by demons, and forced by their to take on all manner of ridiculous quests, or to be the last, best hope for their race/planet/whatever. However, often that is exactly what videogame characters do with their free time anyway…
