Lee Hammock Interview at MMOGamer - Part 2

The MMOGamer interview with Fallen Earth's Lead Designer, Lee Hammock, continues today with more juicy information about the game's background and storyline, methods for its dissemination among players, and FPS/RPG hybrid system:

MMO Gamer: When are you planning on opening up the game to additional testers?

Lee Hammock: When we have more to show, basically. Our feature set is not complete, we have features that we need to get ironed out before we're ready to go to that stage. Right now, basically we're about 75% content implemented, and we want to get 100% content implemented before we go to beta testing.

Implemented means it's just in the game, and it hopefully works. It's not balanced, it may not be fun yet, but it works in some capacity. We want to get to 100% content implemented before we go to widespread testing.

We're 75% of the way there, effectively. I got in trouble the last time I said something about, "Oh hopefully in a few months we'll be able to do that," but, we've gone from being 25% content implemented to 75 in about nine months.

So, we're making really fast progress now after everybody's trained up, we know what we're doing, we know where we're going, it's something that's going to be happening relatively soon.
