Here’s one for you gamer schmoes who thought you saw everything there was in terms of massively multiplayer online role-playing games.
Film production company Big Screen Entertainment Group announced yesterday that it has begun working on its first entry into the gaming genre: a PC game based on its upcoming horror film BABYSITTER WANTED. The synopsis for the film revolves around a tormented and tortured young girl, whose only concern is the safety of herself and the child she is babysitting. Think HALLOWEEN and WHEN A STRANGER CALLS (screw the remake).
To adapt the above story and turn it into an interactive medium, Big Screen is taking a different approach to this MMORPG development. The company will start with the first half of the acronym (the ‘massively multiplayer online’ part), and then work on finishing up the rest of it later.
“Initially, a working MMO will be released within the next 12 months,” the company stated on their website. “The game’s platform will be constantly updated offering subscribers new challenges and character options. In phase two, the game will be upgraded to [a] ‘Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.’ MMORPGs give users the ability to role play inside the realtime virtual world as well as play against others.” Another part of the company’s “phase two” includes ports of the game. Big Screen Entertainment has plans to make the game compatible for the Xbox, PlayStation 3, and more.
Right now, the only thing on the site with regards to BABYSITTER WANTED is the synopsis and poster for the film, which is currently listed as being in production. Look for more stuff on this one in the future, since a company with so much on it’s plate at the moment developing a game in 12 months is something you have to see to believe.
