Now onto the interview, the interview was done by MMORPG.com and they interviewed Dan Elggren who is the Senior Producer for the upcoming game and here is what he had to say.
Give us some idea of the technology that will make its way into the game. Will players be able to develop and specialize in understanding and creating different forms of technology we have seen in SG-1 and Atlantis? Crafting will play a big role in Stargate Worlds. Players will be able to create new items and upgrades in a way that mirrors the “arms race” that was such a big part in the series. Alien artifacts can be “reverse engineered” and the technology used in crafting recipes.
How has development been coming along? Has the team been able to meet design goals? When do you expect to reach large milestones like Beta and Launch? Right now, we’re very happy with the way development is progressing. We’re meeting our internal goals and we’ve already got some incredible art and stories coming together. We’re still a little early in the process to nail down dates for beta and launch, but we expect to be making some big announcements soon.
