Lee Hammock, the Lead Game Designer on the upcoming post-apocalyptic MMORPG Fallen Earth, sits down to answer Garrett Fuller's questions.

MMORPG.com:

With all the fantasy MMOs that are out, you have a unique genre on your hands. Give us some insight into the world of Fallen Earth.

Lee Hammock:

Fallen Earth is set in 2156, one hundred years after the world is brought low by a plague known as Shiva that killed 99% of the population. The game takes place in and around the Grand Canyon, one of the few habitable places left on Earth, which makes it a place many are willing to kill to control. Our world is one where mankind teeters on the edge of extinction, clinging to the bones of the old world while trying to recover their lost secrets. It's a world of scavengers and desperation. The players are those who choose to rise above the hardships of this new world and work towards a better world, or decide the old world was corrupt and all signs of it must be erased completely.

Looks Not!

I hate to be one of the nay sayers, but I just couldn't resist on this one. Ugh! Looks like Mel Gibson mated with a teenage mutant nija turtle game.

Just take a look at the developer  vids on YouTube   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG1N2xeZxTU

The game looks great.  I think they are way too far along to be considered vaporware. I like the setting, I like the idea of it incorporating FPS as well. The characterization looks very good. I will definately keep an eye on it's developement.

I was thinking about Fallout and how cool this would be until "You are using a FPS system..."

Sorry, no interest.

Will be interesting to see how this develops. I'm all for any game that's not swords and sorcery and tries even a little to move away from pure levels (that is, levels with skill points is fine with me).

I'm much more interested in playing in a niche game with a strong community than a behemoth with no community.
