There’s a Q&A going on with Mark Gerhard at the MechScape world forum, some important details of the game have been revealed so far. The most important of course is that Stellar Dawn is far from release, as you can read in the quote below.

Yes you can expect more regular info on Stellar Dawn from us in the future, I’m not 100% sure it is going to be released in 2010 although I certainly do hope so, I am however 100% sure that it won’t be this year as initially thought.
I suppose it is important to also add that when I was initially saying “soon”, I really did believe that from everything we were being told and naturally gave that feedback in good faith. That is no longer the case and whilst I can understand news of a delay is frustrating to you all as much as it is to myself, I can assure you all that everyone involved in this project is doing their best to ensure we get a great game in the best possible time frame.

It seems it’s now really official the game is not called MechScape anymore but is now called Stellar Dawn. Of course it was known that MechScape was the codename but Jagex had not used Stellar Dawn in their official communication. There is an official press release coming by the Stellar Dawn team.

I suppose I’m going to upset a few people because I can’t say too much about the game in development and I don’t want to steal the teams thunder with regards to their upcoming press release but I can talk a little about where we are today and how we got here.
