Internode Games Network News: A chat with NetDevil about Jumpgate Evolution and Lego Universe

The producer on the project, Hermann Peterscheck, and company founder Scott Brown were recently in Australia, and I sat down with them for a bit of a chat - to find out more about this

"WoW in Space".

Still sounds a lot better than most of the recent interviews even if they did self-comarisons to both WoW AND EVE. They also mentioned Elite, X-wing, etc. What I want to hear is the next time a real JGer plays the game. I read LupineOne's review and it was good. I want to read the next review when the game is further developed with more of the stuff we live and breath, not just developmental stuff or the cool the graphics are.

So you can impress someone who's never played Classic. BFD. I want to know if you can impress a real Jumpgate vet with your new game. Not just eye-candy and "ain't this neat" crap, but the real meat and vegetables of the matter. I really don't care how flaky the crust is, TYVM. How does it play?

Then again, hearing Scorch tell us how he wants it to be and explaining how it will all work is good too. I am encouraged that they talk about a gradual process in the game with no tutorial. What was it? Sticks, boomerang, bomb? Curious to see how that will work.

Also, did you catch the comment about "probaby over a hundred different sectors"? This is starting to sound more interesting.

I no longer care about Jumpgate Evolution and can't waite for the lego game!!!!!! I'm sure I can make a tensy out of legos.

Intresting but when are we going to see it in action come on a 30 secstocking filla

But the most important questions still remains unaswered: when will beta start?

[project3wc]

and it will remained unanswered for quite some time. my guestimate is late may early june.

i noted some part about - in the end, big hard to fly ships...

[project3wc]

probably meant Tows

[ELPIRATA]

I liked the mention on the big hard to fly ships... perhaps this means that the simple flight engine will be available to new pilots so they learn the ropes and as they level up and get into other ships the easy flight engine might not be available.

Another thing I liked was:

a mere dot alongside a massive Octavian station

Which best the question, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SEE IT? (caps intended)

Even a concept art I would prefer to not see anything at all.

amen to that Pirate, we've seen the concept ship, dying to see an actual screenshot of it, but an OCT station would be better

ND hates Octavians, its a fact.

[Karash]

I think the appropriate quote in that interview was "less hardcore".

Unfortunate.

*jedi wave* You are not interested in when Beta will start.. You are content to wait and listen to Awen being vague in her answers*

I cannot comment on such speculation. Beta will start when the game is ready for external players.

ND Loves Octavians! I am DYING to show you art. I am in LOVE with the space and the ships. But we're not ready to release that information yet. All in good time cricket... all in good time.
