In the genre of console gaming market, there comes the latest addition from the house of Zynga, called the FrontierVille. This newest game has been launched on Facebook. In this game of FrotierVille, the player identifies himself as a pioneer, who shall try to make a living and raise a family in a wild plot of land. Sighting similarities with that of ‘Little House on the Prairie’ or the ‘Oregon Trail’, it seems quite intentional from the part of Zynga.
With slight deviation from the traditional social games which are known till 2009, the FrontierVille includes city buildings, homesteads, another helping for exploration and discovery, apart from the known farming elements. Zynga does hope to make this game fit all ages, genders and masses.
“One of the things that we were looking for was something that appeals to a broad range of people, ages and genders,” insidesocialgames.com people were told by Brian Reynolds, the Zynga developer who built FrontierVille and, in a previous life, was lead designer for famed titles like Civilization II and Alpha Centauri.
The appealing features included in the game of FrontierVille include the players merrily planting crops and may be astonished by the wandering bear; even for those who love collecting rare and virtual items can do so in the game. The most different and innovative addition to the game is the idea of spouses.
According to the American History, all the pioneers who would have travelled to the west, would definitely be having a lover, or a sweetheart who would be waiting at home for the pioneer to return, expecting his safe voyage. This fact has been successfully incorporated into the game, by having the concept of distant lovers, who can be communicated with, and even allowing exchange of gifts. Truly impressive!
After a successful courtship, the new wife or husband can be brought to the homestead, and then they can get tethered together. After that, comes making babies, which is also a major attribute of early American life. For successful growing of the clan, more the number of children are, the better is the gameplay. But, in this regard, there is a limitation that the real players cannot marry each other, thus meaning that the spouse is strictly virtual (though it can be named after a real-life sweetheart).
As in other Facebook games, here in FrontierVille, players can visit each other, and even provide help to players, or gain a benefit. But the inter-communication and abilities of players between each other has been expanded by Zynga, and the players may cause the other’s crops to unwither, or trim back the approaching forest to provide in construction of buildings. Here, the avatars of your friends working at your homestead will actually be seen, which is quite different from the other Facebook games.
With the means of increased cooperation between players, Zynga has also added to the FrontierVille game, the concept of ‘hearts’, which actually is a measure of the ‘reputation’ of players. With a lot of different approaches and novel concepts, this game does seem to have the ability to draw Facebook gamers on the go!
