It has spread like wildfire, and quickly became a trending topic on Twitter. Spymaster is a “spy” game that uses your Twitter following to become a powerful spy. The more followers you have that join the game the more power you have. The basics of the game are to perform tasks to make money, get more of your followers to join so you can assasinate other players, and level up your profile. Spymaster has spread so quickly, because you can choose to tweet your actions (they added a link to turn these off or add more) and invite your Twitter followers to join the game. There is a fine line to be walked here, because tweeting too many of your actions or inviting people that could care less about this game can be a bit spammy. Great idea making the game somewhat social, but I think they could have done more to interact with the people in your spy ring(your followers that are playing too). Collaboration with your spy ring to plot an assasination would be more fun. The gameplay falls a bit short too. You have to perform the same 2-3 mindless tasks to make money over and over. Clicking that same button to make some cash gets old quick and I have the attention span of Dory from Finding Nemo. There might be better features as you level up, but I lost interest at level 4. It could be a fun game with a little more interactivity, but I am done with it for now.

This blog has been flat-lining for almost a year and a half. So it’s time to breathe some life back into it. There will be plenty of tech, web and design topics to come in the near future, and I hope to post them fairly regularly. A new theme to freshen this place up would be nice too, so I will see what I can find (will desing my own someday). Until then…CLEAR! *Shockkkkkk* CLEAR! *Shockkkkkkkkk* *beep* *beep* *beep*
