Staff Writer Garrett Fuller had a chance to talk to Kara Japhet of TAP Interactive, the PR company who represent Runestone. SEED is due for launch this spring. Is it on track?

At GDC, I had a chance to sit down with Kara Japhet of TAP Interactive – the public relations company who represent Runestone - to discuss SEED: The Human Condition. This upcoming sci-fi MMORPG offers a unique experience for players. Being trapped in a colony on a hostile planet players have to really think about how their characters will help the world and its citizens. The good news is the game is set to launch in May 2006. Despite a very limited Beta, there is a lot of material that is ready to go. Runestone is making sure that all the material is tested and set for production. The devs have continued their strong relationship with the community by actively monitoring the boards and taking player feedback very seriously. Kara stressed the fact that SEED developers are planning for a game that is driven by the players.

I am eagerly awaiting this game's release. So much attention in many games tend to be focused on ballancing and tuning the combat facet. The lack of a combat engine alone means the devs will be focusing their energy on other things. As MMOs go, for once I don't expect this one to merely be "more of the same."

Agreed. I think it takes guts to make a game so different from the rest of the run-of-the-mill grind and PVP till you drop MMO's.  Kudos to GDC for having the guts.
