Here's the trailer for EpicWin, the new Rex Crowle game I mentioned yesterday:
Our lives are full of quests. Remember that birthday card, send that email, or drag ourselves to the gym on a regular basis.Naturally, your progress is posted to Twitter and Facebook. Via.
Trouble is, sometimes we’re having too much fun doing other virtual stuff like hunting down rare items in World of Warcraft or leveling-up in Facebook games, to remember the stuff we’re supposed to be doing.
EpicWin is an iPhone app that puts the adventure back into your life. It’s a streamlined to-do list, to note down all your everday tasks, but with a role-playing spin.
Rather than just mentally ticking off your chores, completing each one improves and develops your character in an onging quest to level-up, gain riches, and develop skills.
Watch as your avatars stats develop in ways to represent your own life. Will you be a Maiden of Juggled Priorities, or a King of Win? The lifestyle you lead will decide.
(Blogging is actually very much like playing a video game. Writing posts is completing quests. I keep score by looking at visitor numbers, rss numbers, inbound links and comments. Special projects such as the Super Punch tarot (and what's coming in August) are achievements.)
