Earthrise - Interview @ RPG Vault

RPG Vault chats to Masthead Studios' CEO Atanas Atanasov and Lead Game Designer Apostol Apostolov about Earthrise, their upcoming MMO.

Jonric: To begin at the introductory level, what kind of game are you aiming for Earthrise to be? What's it about, and how did you come up with the name?

Atanas Atanasov: Earthrise is a post-apocalyptic science fiction MMORPG set in the distant future. After the Third World War, mankind is on the verge of extinction; the only survivors are those who were lucky enough to become part of the Continoma project, which started before the conflict, and enabled the cloning of humans and the preservation of their consciousness. However, when the new society is being formed after the end of the war, its leaders were tempted by the power of the technology, and decided to play God on Earth. This led to social unrest, and a rebellion under a shadow government, Noir. This is the time when people will enter the game and decide the fate of mankind.
