The official site for Earth And Beyond, a futuristic MMORPG in the making, was updated with their latest weekly featuer: Glimpse Inside. Today, they are talking about "Planetmode" - how you will spend time on planets in the game:
The visuals on the planets are very cool," John said. "We can arrange them in such a way to make the experience more like a dungeon crawl, in that it's easier to make the players 'run a gauntlet' to get to a new area. We can also make particular areas unique to certain levels of players, and then open up new areas to them as they progress."
"We can place terrain features so that it's a little easier to plan the players' experience," Dave added. "We can make it harder to avoid certain things."
Planetary sectors also include some unique creatures. Since the planets have different types of atmosphere and terrain, many of these creatures can be found only on planets. Other species may exhibit unique behavior, such as breeding and producing young in space, while the eldest of the species may take up residence on a planet's surface. The planet Zweihander has spores that are shot into space, and as the larvae mature, they venture back to the planet. You may also find bird-like creatures and plant life on planets ... creatures you won't find in space. |
