MechScape is confirmed to be the code name

In yesterday’s interview by massively.com, GDC09: What Jagex has in store with MechScape, MechScape is said to be the project’s code name and not the actual game name.

So what is MechScape? Well, first off, it’s important to note that MechScape is not the game’s name, only the project’s code name.

In a recent article I speculated that Stellar Dawn might be the actual name of the game, since in a press release MechScape was referred to as a code name. However not as explicit as in this interview. A lot of people didn’t believe me, since it could be a mistake by a Jagex employee or some didn’t find it logical. So how did I come with the idea? I noticed that Stellar Dawn was the only trademark owned by Jagex other than MechScape, FunOrb and RuneScape that had a logo.

Stellar Dawn seems like a good name for a MechScape related game, so why not?

    Yep! I’m absolutely positive that MechScape is the code name for the project, not the game’s name itself. There has been some speculation on forums that this is some kind of April Fool’s joke by us, or something like that. I assure you it’s not :)
