Remember that we discussed the possibility that MechScape’s real name was Stellar Dawn? It seems that more support for this is coming from Ren at MechScape world who found out how to display the Stellar Dawn loading screen in the RuneScape client.
Below is a video which provides proof of the method used to create this image.
In an interview with Eurogamer.net Henrique Olifiers reveals more information about MechScape. One of the more interesting facts are bases in MechScape.
Henrique Olifiers: Oh, OK, let me see: one of the things that was very successful in RuneScape were player-owned houses and creating them. That was very big for RuneScape. And so that’s something we need to start with. So all the players start with their own bases [in MechScape].
Also in reply to the question “So is there any date for a beta?”. It seems the beta is still a year away not as soon as most of us expected.
Henrique Olifiers: No, no no. We constantly playtest the game, invite people to help and run focus tests to find out what they like so we can adjust. By the time we feel it’s ready to go we’re suddenly going to open it and avoid the pitfalls we see so many other MMOs going through by releasing a product they can only get right a year afterwards.
