Lee Hammock Interview - Game Musketeers

The Game Musketeers featured an interview with Fallen Earth Lead Game Designer Lee Hammock today. The interview touched upon the game concept and development in general:

GM: For those not familiar with your MMOG please give a brief history about Fallen Earth LLC and your current project: Fallen Earth.

Lee: Fallen Earth LLC was founded to bring the MMORPG Fallen Earth to market and to use it as a showcase for the Icarus RAD Tool Suite created by Icarus Studios. The Icarus RAD Tool Suite is a set of tools for creating massively multiplayer environments, everything from social virtual worlds to online worlds for hardcore gamers. It really needed a proof of concept online world to demonstrate how good these tools are. Hence the creation of Fallen Earth.

Development on Fallen Earth began under the auspices of Icarus Studios, but to better organize the development of the game and of the Icarus RAD Tool Suite, Fallen Earth LLC was created in 2005 to handle everything relating to Fallen Earth. Since then Icarus Studios has continued working on the tools used to make Fallen Earth, while Fallen Earth LLC has concentrated on adding content to Fallen Earth. We had our official public unveiling this past GDC and are now working toward beginning Beta testing.
