set in the space MMO's universe, codenamed Project Awakening, and has now revealed the first details and an upcoming playtest. The Icelandic studio rather boldly says this is the next step in its quest to"create virtual worlds more meaningful than real life." Goodbye to my children: I love you but you really oughta try this new CCP joint.
Alongside the first clues about Project Awakening, CCP has also announced that it will be making its Carbon Development Platform open source. A technological signature and evidence of a human society somewhere out there. The simulations reconstructing this sparse data into a synthetic spectre of a civilization are vague but pregnant with possibilities. A tangle of cultures, politics, and history that is complex yet strikingly familiar. It speaks of empires, corporate behemoths, and expansion spheres blooming into the unknown. A lost tribe capable of great beauty and destruction… Too long the trickle of souls was dry.
