Twitter Becomes A Japanese Role-Playing Game

Even those who find social ufa888 networking tool Twitter a vapid waste of time might be interested in this, a new role-playing title from Japanese publishers Marvelous that takes a person’s Twitter feed and builds a game out riches777 of it. Called Followars, it builds a role-playing party for you out of whatever’s on your Twitter feed: stuff like your hit points and attack stats determined by criteria like the number of tweets you’ve made and the number of people following you.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); In other words, think Pokemon. Only the monsters are you. Their stats, your Twitter trends. While it sounds a bit light, know it’s being designed by Kenichi g2g1bet Nishi, the man behind Chibi-Robo, and is not only being built specifically for Apple’s iPad, but for hot-seat multiplayer, two players able to fight it out on a single iPad. It should be out later this week, right in time for the iPad’s launch. That is, unless it’s an April Fool’s joke. And it’d be a shame were that the case, because this is actually a really neat idea.
