    <strong>[ Interview ]</strong>

    <p><a href="http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/03/11/interview-starwraith-on-evochron-legends/" target="_blank">RPS had a talk</a> with StarWraith's Shawn Bower about <strong><a href="http://starwraith3dgames.home.att.net/evochronlegends/index.htm" target="_blank">Evochron Legends</a></strong>.</p><blockquote><p>RPS: Your environments are pretty impressive, and I understand things such as nebulae also impact on the player&rsquo;s experience, can you explain a little bit about that?</p><p>Bower: As I mentioned earlier, space is often presented as a bunch of mostly empty rooms, often with just a few rocks and stations thrown in along with some nice wallpaper in the background.  Planets are usually off limits, either part of the wallpaper or they merely behave as giant space mines that destroy any player that dares get too close.  Evochron gives the player access to the objects they see in space and for useful purposes.  They can descend into planet atmospheres and complete activities like harvesting cells from plants on the surface for valuable biological material.  Or they can recover water from lakes and transport it to economies that value it. They can land at city trade stations or mine terrain for gold or other valuable material.  Planets can also be used for shelter from attackers or as a meeting place for trade deals.  While doing these things on or near planets, players can also encounter weather such as rain, snow, lightning, and turbulence.  Nebulae can provide sensor cover if you need to escape for repairs in open space and can be mined for photon particles useful in the processing of fuel.  Some nebulae can even prevent jump drive fields from engaging, giving players a place to meet for PvP matches without easy escape.  Players can even visit stars, black holes, moons, and even massive asteroids with caves.  Such environment elements can also include changes in gravity, fuel consumption, physics, visibility.</p></blockquote><p>Spotted @ <a href="http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/">Rock Paper Shotgun</a></p>
