Interview with the man behind The Continuum
WorthPlaying has recently published an interview with Seven Lights CEO Tim Harris, the head guy of the company behind The Continuum, a new online collectible war game that seeks to blend the best elements of strategy gaming, collectible gaming, RPGs and digital goods into a distinctive game universe. Read on for a few snippets off the interview.
On the game’s storyline:
After a mysterious disruption in the space/time continuum, four planes of reality collapse upon each other, forming a new distinct reality dubbed the Crossworld by its denizens. The Crossworld is fused together from the four previously separate realities, and as a result, contains pieces and inhabitants of each. As the beings who find themselves in this new world try to survive and rebuild their lives, conflict arises, leaders emerge, and war ensues over the precious resources and ruins of the four once separate worlds.
New characters join the epic storyline as additional planes of reality collapse into The Crossworld, leading to questions—what is the cause of the disruption? How many more worlds will fold into the Crossworld? And what manner of beings are destined for the Crossworld in the future?
On the game’s playable characters:
The Characters in the release set will come from 4 distinct realities: A world of shape-shifters, where all humans go through the Change into wolves, hawks, bears, and great cats; a world overrun by vampires, where the last remaining humans and elves have developed the power to bring forth Light to destroy their blood-sucking oppressors; a world where all people manifest a distinct power at some point in their lives (e.g., fire, ice, electricity, etc); and a world based on a dominant society conquering most of the known world (the Roman Empire meets medieval Asian Dynasties) and their enslaved species, thrust into gladiatorial combat as entertainment.
