Meteor Games, the new studio recently founded by the original creators of NeoPets, have finally pulled the curtain on its youth-targeted virtual world project, Twin Skies.

According to the recently posted site, Twin Skies will feature 3D graphics ("fully 3D DirectX 9") and a professional soundtrack. The game mixes fantasy MMORPG elements - such as creating characters from a selection of races and classes to battle against monsters - with trade skills, social interaction, mini-games, and "lots of hair styles."

Meteor will also release separate casual flash games which will not only include high-score tables and achievement trophies, but will eventually communicate with the MMO, potentially changing weather in a certain zone, spawning a monster, or unlocking a chest full of treasure.

Though Twin Skies isn't available even in Alpha form yet, Meteor Games will be showing the title at the Penny Arcade Expo in August of this year. The company plans to announce an updated schedule, hand out plush toys, and give away limited spots for its upcoming Beta test at the event. The site's forums are also scheduled to be available on the site late July or early August.

As for Twin Skies' business model, the company feels that ads would be distracting and is looking into a charging for subscriptions instead. Meteor Games admits, however, that nothing nothing has been finalized yet.
