IdentiFiction: Can it deliver?

I stumbled today on a new project called IdentiFiction, an upcoming online channel for episodic, browser-based games. After checking out the site, I definitely agree with the Rampant Coyote's assessment. IdentiFiction's vision is totally in line with the direction I want games to go: complex characters and stories presented in a way that will appeal to more than our most juvenile instincts.

The weekly episodic format is also appealing to me, since it's something that makes increasing sense as people get used to paying small fees for downloaded television episodes. It's also a great way to tell intricate stories without requiring hardcore time committments.

The question, of course, is whether this team of 50 people can deliver something compelling with their first game, Aosphere. The odds are against them, but maybe that's part of the appeal. In any case, I've marked my calendar for October 15th.
