Vox Imperium is an innovative massively multiplayer strategy game,
influenced by and comparable to the Civilization series, yet playable
in a web browser. The game features maps that accommodate over 1,000
players, in gaming sessions which can run anywhere from three hours to
three months, suiting every gamer's playing schedule.
Creator William Renner said, "Gaming is going in so many different
directions. You have the PS3 gamers. The Wii gamers. The Xbox gamers.
What it gaming comes down to, regardless of graphics or processor
speed, is whether or not a game is fun. You can play a great game
through a browser, just like you can play a great game using a deck of
cards or dice."
The main strength of Vox Imperium lies in its custom game engine
featuring a fully graphical format, virtually unique in the
browser-based realm. Vox uses a hand-tailored AJAX engine to accurately
simulate a standard PC game without any downloads or load times.
"This is just the beginning," continues Renner. "Browser-based gaming
is poised to take off in a way [Macromedia Flash games never did. The
next version of the Vox engine will be indistinguishable from PC games
10 years ago. Its only a matter of time before Doom and Quake type
games are ported to AJAX, and from there anything is possible."
Additionally, Vox staff recently released their MapMaker system to the
general public, allowing players to construct custom game boards,
controlling who is allowed to play with a range of customizable game
features.
