Runestone gets in bed with Alchemic Dream

Runestone Game Development today announced that it has contracted Alchemic Dream to assist in the customer support, localization, and game mastering of its upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Seed. The Danish developer's debut title looks to be a significant departure from standard MMORPGs. For one thing, Seed has eliminated combat from the player experience entirely. Set in the far future on a distant planet, players will have to work together to shape the gameworld as they see fit. Seed will join a long list of MMORPGs that use the Quebec-based Alchemic Dream's services, including Dungeons and Dragons Online, Second Life, RF Online, and Project Entropia.
