Creating Kaos Explores Making a MMOG

IDG is debuting Creating Kaos, a reality-based video series about first-time game developer Damon Grow's efforts to create the world's largest massively online multiplayer game.

IDG Entertainment has launched its original online video reality series Creating Kaos, following the efforts of Shattered Reality Interactive CEO Damon Grow and his 40-person volunteer game development company as they try to create and develope the world’s largest massively online multiplayer game (MMOG). Quake and Doom creator John Romero serves as on-camera commentator for the series, which will air in 3-5 segments on the IDG Entertainment site www.games.net. The first episode is available today; five episodes are already in the can, with another 15 in production.

“There’s humor, real drama, and some amount of insanity,” said Wendy Chan, series director and video producer for IDG Entertainment. “But throughout it all, you can’t help being touched by Damon’s commitment and unwavering optimism.”

Creating Kaos is part of a group of video productions IDG announced in February, being developed by for gamers who visit its online network. Other titles include Hi-5s (fun moments from new games), Attack of the Factoids (pop-up style commentary on in-game footage), and Behind the Screens (documentary-style looks at the development of popular video games).
