Eric DeMilt, senior producer at Carbine Studios, has shared details regarding the studio’s upcoming MMO.

In a letter written on the official Carbine website, DeMilt stated the studio is closer to showing the game publicly.

Carbine is currently doing usability testing, in which:

“We can get groups of players in the game and have the dev team observe them from one of our conference rooms. We can watch both what’s happening on the screen and the player’s reaction to it.

“We combine this direct observation with a short survey at the end of a play session and brief Q&A, and a lot of listening. Did this quest make sense? Is the story interesting? Could you find your way around? We’ve gotten some great information and some great reactions. It’s been really rewarding to be able to see our game and its features through the eyes of new players.”

DeMilt goes on to say that elements of the MMO involve puzzles, while the game’s environment revolves around magic and technology.

Carbine Studios’ MMO is still under-wraps until gamescom. It is the work of a team of industry veterans who have previously worked on World of Warcraft, EverQuest, Warhammer Online, Diablo II, and StarCraft.
