Lets start it off with 2 Exclusive Screen Shots
I would like to thank Draconus for giving me his time to interview him again.
Now let's get the show on the road.
Xavian: Will each race of Free World have there own planet that they originate from?
Draconus: Well.....yes, but no, all races will have a planet they originate from, but you will not be forced to start on that planet. Each planet will have its own starter town, with a total of 6 starting locations that you can pick from when you start the game.
Xavian: What will be the means of transportation to each planet?
Draconus: For now we will have planet portals that will look very different from other types of portals. At this point in time we have no plans for players to be able to do space travel.
Xavian: With a Solar system comes stars. Will Free Worlders be able to go to any of these stars?
Draconus: Lol, well, stars are suns....you will not be able to go to a sun. The Game will be limited to 6 planets,5 moons, and the alternate dimension of the Void. In expansion packs you maybe able to travel to other solar systems
Xavian: So there may be other solar systems in the future? Perhaps more and distant races in this future?
Draconus: Well, there are not any plans set for any certain races, But, with bringing the concept of planetary travel to the game, the possibilities are endless.
Xavian: So what will this Solar system be called?
Draconus: Hmm, we .have not named it yet, maybe that could be a future contest.
Xavian: Awesome, I thought you said no more naming contests. I guess there will be some set rules before this one takes place eh?
Draconus: Well, it will have to be done a lot different then past contests. The biggest problem we have had in the past is out of all the names there is not even one of them we really want to add. So, if we have a contest there will be no promise to add it to the game.
Xavian: Are there any plans on adding good and evil alignment to the game?
Draconus: I was talking to the Scripting team last night and we are going to try to add a evil/good quest option. This means some quests will have two different ways to complete them and if you pick the evil option then you will become more evil and if you pick the good option you become more good. Also some NPC will just offer good or evil quests, for example there maybe a quest that asks you to go kill something this quest would pull you to the evil side or there could be a quest that has you go get medicine for old lady and this would make you more good. As your alignment changes if you go to much to one side you will not be offered some of the quests on the other side, but then again a whole new set of quests will become open to you.
Xavian: So what are the plans for the rest of this phase?
Draconus: Here is the rest of the phase in a nutshell:
1) Magic.
2) More skills.
3) Added features to combat.
4) Finish the expansion of the world we have now and get all the basics in for all the planets and moons.
5) Add multiple void warp maps.
6) Add a lot of missing weapons types (IE daggers, more halberd/pole arm weapons)
7) implants
8) Redo every NPC in game to use the new NPC language, also make it so NPC's interact with the world.
9) Tech weapons and void minions come to the worlds.
10) Finish redoing every texture in game.
11) Make high poly versions of all monsters.
12) replace building models with higher poly models
Xavian: Ok, what are these implants you are talking about? We all know Free World will be a mix with Sci-Fi in it. So will all races be able to use these implants? And what kinds will there be?
Draconus: All races will be able to use implants. A separate implant inventory will be added. players will have to pay for implants to be added or removed.
Xavian: Will each race have there own unique implants? Will they be able to be made through crafting? And what enhancements will they give you?
Draconus:1)Will each race have there on set of implants? No, all implants will be for all races. 1)Will they be able to be made through crafting? No, implants are based off of void technology, and the player races of the world have limited information on how they work. The skill of adding and removing the implants is the only thing players will be able to gain skill in at this time. 3)What enhancements will they give you? Implants will give a variety of Physical and mental advantages....but this will be at a cost. The more implants you get ,the less in touch with the magic side of the world you become. Implants will offer greater performance stat increases then a magic item of the same type and lvl would offer at the cost of reducing your use of magic. One more side note about implants: they will not work like your regular inventory. You will have to get them Implanted to use them and removed to stop using them. All implants will come from fighting Cybernetic life forms from the void.
Xavian: With that said, I'll leave you all with this quote from Draconus himself. "When I wake up with an idea in the morning, we do it".
So who knows what will be next folks! buuuuuut, You must keep FreeWorlding to find out!. ;)
