The year is nearly over and it’s time to show our gratitude to everybody following our work on our upcoming MMO Coobico so faithfully; thanks, especially for all the encouraging comments and emails. As this years small Christmas-goodie we’ve been hurrying up to finish one of the mini-games to be included in Coobico: Metes & Bounds is a clever little tile-laying game, where players expand the borders of their territories turn by turn to claim the largest lands for their fiefdom. Its still got a few loose ends which are going to be added soon, but we challenge you to find your personal highscore in solitaire-mode or by playing against the computer. If you like the game, please make sure to bookmark it and help us to spread the word. Metes & Bounds will also make its appearance on Facebook, we will keep you posted.

It’s time to unveil one of our more prolific current projects: Coobico. Coobico is essentially a web-community and a multiplayer-strategy-game, running on Flash. Think HabboHotel meets MySims.
