Twilight War: After the Fall is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing game (MMORPG) in creation by Gator Productions that integrates the First Person Shooter (FPS) style of game play. Not only is the style of Twilight War a rarity amongst MMORPGs, but it will also utilize the much anticipated Half-Life 2 Source engine.

Recently, "Valve Software has issued a press release, making Smiling Gator Productions an official licensee of their Source engine. This engine will enable Twilight War to have unparalleled graphics, physics, and artificial intelligence modelling."

The Half-Life 2 Source engine should give Twilight War an incredibly solid foundation. However, MMORPG gamers know that the engine alone does not ensure a quality game (there are many elements to an MMORPG such as economy, community, story, and structure), but the Half-Life 2 Source is definitely a good starting point. MMORPG and FPS fans alike should keep their eyes on Twilight War as it develops. I know I will!

Update: The second part of the IGN interview is up as well as another interview that you can find linked on their main site.

And about Sauron Village.... I don't care what names they use, they have some great ideas behind their game.
