During their presentation at
GameX 2009 on agile game development,
Nathan Richardsson and
Adalsteinn "Alli" Óttarsson revealed the slide above, showing
EVE Online's many facets and how they all tie into one another. But what's this down in the corner? A mobile application and a instant messaging client?
While information was scarce, we were able to confirm that
CCP is certainly interested in the mobile market, especially with
EVE. Neocom is planned to be a multi-mobile platform project, going beyond the iPhone to add "interaction with
EVE Online in a meaningful way."
The plan seems to be to extend
EVE across multiple locations to give players the ability to access all sorts of information from places outside of the game. It was mentioned that Neocom could do things like use corporation chat, check and change trades, and introduce other methods of two way interaction.
Later in the day, we'll be putting up our video interview with Alli Óttarsson and Nathan Richardsson on a variety of topics, Neocom included. Check back for more exclusive coverage of
GameX 2009!
