The Tomorrow Children: Final Moments :(

Join me as I play the last moments of #TheTomorrowChildren before the servers go offline for good. ;( Want to sign the petition to bring back The Tomorrow Children? You can do so right here: https://www.change.org/p/sony-keep-the-tomorrow-children-living-art-game-alive Here's Sony's description of the game: "The Tomorrow Children [was] a free-to-play game that [merged] social and action gameplay to deliver a unique new online sandbox experience from renowned indie studio Q-Games (PixelJunk series). Mankind is on the verge of extinction, and you must cooperate with other players to build your town and defend it from monstrous invaders. Stand tall, unite with your fellow citizens, and help lead civilization back to its former glory." They fail to mention the unique, sovieti-inspired design, the distinctive, voxel-based visuals that made the game look like some lost stop-frame animated t.v. show from the 70's or 80's. The Tomorrow Children was something distinct, different, unique. And that's also what made it a liability. It did things differently. People who were too accustomed to same-old / same-old games didn't know what to do with TTC. They failed to see it as something new and different. It broke the mold, but "traditional" gamers loved that mold. Without it, they saw the game as "broken". Couple that with a "free-to-play" model that required players to occasionally shell out real money to buy better tools, and the overall public reaction to the game became downright toxic. But the Tomorrow Children was also unique in the community it fostered. Unless you went outside the bounds of the game, your ability to communicate with other players was very limited. Yet success depended on everyone's ability to self-organize, to collaborate and share. Those who recognized this were in for a one-of-a-kind, rewarding experience. And, more than a year after the game shut down, that community survives... ...and hopes to one day return to the void. After all, there's so much work, so much building and restoration left undone. Thanks for watching!
