Tirnua is a free, browser-based simulation game that is available online and via facebook. It looks a bit like Second Life (although I didn't sign up and try it, so I may be way off base here), and 'uses eco-friendly practices to build its ideal environment.'. They just published a Blender tutorial on creating game backgrounds.

Thank you to the blender community for a great product,

The game screen is too cluttered. It was really hard to play. UI needs work. Another thing please don't publish to my Facebook wall without my knowledge.
Other applications continually asked permission before they publish on a users wall. This application does not.
Worse thing is. They published that I was flirting in the game when I was not logged in at all.
Bad move guys.
Green games? k. Thanks!
Well the game is "green" and on facebook so it must be cool and not a fad in any way
Ok, it uses Blender, but you get to pay to create content. Letting me create content for my own use for free would seem more in the spirit.
The game is not quite ready for a flood of Blender creators, but it is getting there. By my wild guess, concurrent users are going up by about 10% per week now. Submitting content is a matter of contacting the developers personally right now, but if stuff is any good, it will get in.
