Callipygian Games and Pixel Mine, Inc. today announced that Pixel Mine will be publishing Secondhand Lands, Callipygian Games’ upcoming MMORPG. The game, currently in closed Beta, is set in a twisted fairy-tale world populated by furry-tailed adventurers such as Sheep, Wolves, Catgirls, and Scrappers.

Announced in March of 2008, Secondhand Lands sets itself apart with a unique skill advancement system, player to player mounting, and over 120 handwritten quests. After stealing cable for the gnomes, playing spin the bottle with the fairies, or taking some scandalous footage for the “Bears Gone Wild” documentary, players can spend hard earned points to train new skills or perfect those already known.

The two Austin-based companies have been working closely for several months leading up to June 27 when they announced that Callipygian would be utilizing the Pixel Mine Portal as a distribution platform. “Using the innovative Pixel Mine portal technology for Secondhand Lands has allowed my team to focus on making this game great,” says Bobby Thurman, owner of Callipygian Games.

“Secondhand Lands is the kind of game that turns heads,” says Pixel Mine President David Reese. “I think it has the potential to be a ground-breaking game in the MMO genre. We want to help get the word out about it to the gaming community.”

About Secondhand Lands
Secondhand Lands is the multiplayer online game set in a fairy-tale world colored with parody and witty fun. The heroes are a motley crew of wolves, sheep, catgirls, and scrappers who have pledged their undying (well, perhaps not undying) allegiance to either Little Bo Peep or Red Riding Hood. In addition to the vanilla game-play mechanics of mainstream online games, this world offers over 120 handwritten quests, a crafting system to trump all loots, and an a la carte skill system to keep the Billy Goats Gruff at bay for quite some time!
