    Iron Realms Begets Sparkplay Media

    Iron Realms Entertainment have made a name for themselves in the text-based MMO market, creating and maintaining some of the best MUDs still functioning on the internets today. They're so associated with the text games that their MMO project, Earth Eternal, just doesn't seem to fit under the Iron Realms banner. Enter Sparkplay Media, a spin-off company that is dedicated to creating graphical games.
    Matt Mihaly, CEO of both Sparkplay and Iron Realms, said, "We're creating a separate company because the aims of Sparkplay are a bit different from Iron Realms. With IRE we've tried to create the most expansive, deep text-based MMORPG experiences around ... Sparkplay, on the other hand, is creating games (3d and otherwise) for an audience that is looking for experiences that don't necessarily require the same level of commitment to get into."
    The first game released under the Sparkplay banner will be Earth Eternal in 2008, with two more titles planned for 2009. More »

    Earth Eternal Races Rendered

    When they aren't busy writing a back story long enough to rival War and Peace, the folks at Iron Realms Entertainment like to do themselves a little game building, and to that effect they've unveiled character models for all 16 of the MMO's anthropomorphic animal races in both male and female forms. Hit the gallery below and then use the comments section to discuss the historical use of animals in fiction to represent human struggle and conflict, the similarities between animal behavior and today's society, and which one you think is the sexiest.

    Clip: Earth Eternal Character Concepts

    Earth Eternal is more than just a vehicle for furry concept art, and they've just released their first video to prove it. Mind you it's just a character concept demo filmed in a barren area with shadows turned off, but it's enough to give you a general idea of the style they're going for. More »

    Earth Eternal Menagerie Grows

    I don't know why I can't stop talking about this damn Earth Eternal game. Maybe it's the bizarre hopping mushroom thing in the top left of their webpage, or perhaps I am a closet furry, simply lying dormant until the technology to bioengineer me into a bunny person is developed. Whatever the case, the results are in for their Pick-A-Beast contest, and they're decidedly unsexy. More »

    Earth Eternal's Pick A Beast Contest

    Remember Earth Eternal, the new MMO coming from Iron Realms featuring furries anthropomorphic animals as player characters? Well they want you to help design the fourteenth and final player race! In their 'Pick a Beast' contest, gamers choose a mammal or bird appropriate to Europe or North Africa, suggest a name for the species, and then tell them in 100 words or less how the beast fits into their world. Physical characteristics and roleplaying qualities are requested. Mating behavior not so much. More »

    Gallery: Earth Eternal's Furries

    Is this concept art for an upcoming MMO from Iron Realms Entertainment, or someone's VCL gallery? Judging by the fact that none of them seem to have obvious exaggerated genitalia, I'm going to have to go with concept art here. Earth Eternal is a 3D MMO from a company known for its text-based MUDs. It features a rather intriguing alternate Earth setting, and anthropomorphic animals as player characters. In the FAQ the devs explain that they aren't furries, and the game doesn't embrace furry themes, though they can't be sure because as they said, they aren't furries. Riiiiight. More »
