ChickenBrick Studios Developing MMO For Android.

Topic:

The concept of smartphone-based MMORPGs is the most dire threat to office productivity in the modern world. As we speak, ChickenBrick Studios is hard at work designing the first entrant to this terrifying category for the Android OS. The game is currently titled ProjectInf, although that is only a code-name at this point.

ChickenBrick is also the studio that created Cestos, the first multiplayer game for Android.

ChickenBrick promises “massive” games that are persistent, and endless war on your smartphone. There will be team-based and individual gameplay, as well as some social features.
