MORPG denizen, ZoSo, is selling his artistic talents for game creation. Payment via PayPal. Internal development teams low on manpower would be wise to outsource and seek aid within the community. ZoSo’s work speaks for itself. Silverdale was a popular developed MORPG boasting many players, although recently activity has waned and the server shutdown. The game may be for sale for a special price and to a special buyer. Understandably so, Silverdale’s quality rivals that of bigger budget projects. Revival of the game is still an option, so fans don’t despair.

Interested contractors may view more examples and contact ZoSo via this thread. To avoid spam I will not publish the e-mail address here. Enjoy some samples of ZoSo’s pixel art below.

Devogen Interactive Studios has released the next version of their flagship product. This release includes a demo showcasing different functions of Genesis2D. An online version is in the works to provide a live environment for curious parties. Considered the LARGEST update so far, several bugs have been squashed and lots of new features have been added. I highly recommend visiting the official announcement thread on the forums for more detailed information. Modified controls and key assignments, server side additions, new tile sets, improved Xternal Game Editor (XGE), and the ability to contact customer support in your Matrix server are all part of many changes. Be sure to read about the upcoming features being worked on as some sweet new systems and a streamlined map editor may be implemented in the next build!
Although Genesis2D is a free MORPG engine, three different packages (Personal, Professional, and Corporate) are offered for those willing to shell out cash for premium support, removal of Genesis2D branding, and advanced server options. Prices range from $59.95 to 149.95 in Australian dollars.
Download version 2.2b here. Having trouble? Getting Started Tutorial.

MMOverdose, the only other blog tracking the 2D MORPG scene, aims to broaden its horizons to include a wide range of online games. Not content with reviewing titles released by the community, blog author Scythe will offer opinions on another niche, 2D MMOs with some 3D thrown in for good measure. The mash up of professional and independent should yield more content for readers and offer an alternative news source for the MMO-centric crowd. Visit Zajen’s buddy and tell him I said hello!
