RPG Vault interviews Seed Producer Lars Kroll Kristensen about Runestone's forthcoming MMO.Jonric: To introduce Seed, what kind of online world will it be, what's the central premise, and what core elements, features and design decisions set it apart?
Kroll: Wow... quite a question. Seed takes place on the planet DaVinci, far away from Earth, in a self-contained colony that tries to terraform the hostile world. The terraforming project is horribly off-schedule, and the colony is suffering from the effects of over-crowding, resource scarcity and worn out machinery. In this struggling society, the players will try to turn the tide, and get the colony back on its feet.
