YE SHALL RECEIVE: M.U.L.E. REMAKE IN DEVELOPMENT, IPHONE VERSION TO FOLLOW
When a remake of EA’s cult strategy game Archon was first announced for the iPhone, I made a humble request that multiplayer classic M.U.L.E. be next, and while I won’t take even an atom’s worth of credit, Raph Koster has spotted news that a remake is indeed in the cards.
Melanie Bunten Stark, daughter of original M.U.L.E. creator Dan Bunten, has just launched Ozark Softscape — a new site dedicated to the Bunten legacy — and joined the World of M.U.L.E. Facebook fan-page with news (from May, actually) that the licensing process was underway so that work could begin on an online version of the game. More interestingly, Bunten Stark also posted more recently to say that an iPhone and mobile version were also being planned.
There’s no word on precisely who will be handling the remake, though it looks to be closely overseen by the Bunten family children, and if I could only have one re-iterated request, it’d be that whomever is involved might think about tapping Niklas Jansson and his brilliant remake character concepts (above) for the updated version.
Follow the Facebook page, the World of M.U.L.E. site proper, and the official Ozark site for updates as they arrive.
