Seed News - Beta Sign-Ups

Posted by Jon Wood on Jan 09, 2006  | 12 comments in our forums

Shortly after announcing a partnership with Alchemic Dream, Runestone Game Development, the makers of the upcoming MMORPG "Seed", have announced that they have opened Beta Test Sign-Ups.

 

Runestone Announces Beta Test Sign-Ups for Seed

Roleplayers and Adventurers Sought for First Look at Unique New MMG

Aarhus, DenmarkJanuary 9, 2006 – Runestone Game Development announced today that applications are now being accepted for beta testing Seed, the premiere genre-shattering massively multiplayer game slated for release in April 2006, with testing to kick off February 1st.

“We’re thrilled about being so near opening Seed to our testers,” said Lars Kroll Kristensen, CEO of Runestone Game Development. “This is the first huge step toward launch, and after years of work we’re all very excited to begin sharing it with thousands of gamers!”

In Seed, players find themselves on an alien world in the far future as desperate human settlers who must work together to ensure the survival of their colony and the whole human race. By using their intellect rather than their brawn, players alone will decide the fate of the entire colony, set within a highly mutable and interactive world.

Beginning February 1st, the testing phase will ramp up steadily toward launch, growing the population from the pool of beta applicants and ending with a stress test in March, where the community will be encouraged to come by the thousands to give Seed a try.

With groundbreaking gameplay powered by next-generation artificial intelligence poured into a rich, comic-book-style 3D world, Seed truly stands out from the crowd. Learn more about this revolutionary MMG and sign up for the beta test by visiting www.seedthegame.com.

I really look forward to this game. Finally a place where you can forget about the usual monster-bashing and concentrate on mmoRPG'ing.

The game looks interesting to say the least.

The link needs a little fixing though :P Remove the www.mmorpg.com portion from the hyperlink ;)

Hrm...I am clicking their "Sign Up Here" link and it only refers me right back to the same page with the link. Am I missing something? :P I already signed up for their forums a while back. Browsing through there for the solution now.

The game looks potentially like a breath of fresh air from the hack and slash that most of us love.

Having spent time on their forums and their website I see it be a niche game for sure. They are targetting 30,000 subscribers at this point in time. Everyone will be on one persistant server.

Basically the story is about a colony ship sent out and things have gone terribly wrong. Now there is the struggle between keeping the tower that the population is now housed in upgraded or to spend the resources on terraforming the planet. This will be determined by the players as the game progresses.

 

The community on the forums for Seed seem to be much more friendly then most public forums. Roleplayers seem to dominate the forum, and can be a bit anal at times IMOP.

For anyone wanting who is tired of the same old thing in a game this might be just the ticket for you, although it is not for everyone.

Woohoo!  I think this game looks really cool.  I love the storyline and the fact that it's not elves and fairies and crap.  I'm much more into sci-fi than fantasy.  Besides, don't we have enough of those already??
