Massively has been following the development of the sci-fi MMO <a href="http://www.blackprophecy.com"><em>Black Prophecy</em></a> very closely, and was pleased that the title's developer <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/reakktor-media">Reakktor Media</a> wanted to do a series of focused Q&amp;As with us on several aspects of the game. Our last such Q&amp;A <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/12/19/massivelys-black-prophecy-qanda-character-creation/">started at the beginning with character creation</a>, but in our second installment of the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/black-prophecy"><em>Black Prophecy</em></a> interview series we discussed the game's mission design. To that end, we posed some questions to Lorenz Dames, the Lead Game Designer on <em>Black Prophecy</em>. <br />
<br />
Lorenz explained a great deal about how <a href="http://www.reakktor.com">Reakktor</a> is approaching solo content vs. group-oriented gameplay. He also told us how Reakktor Media is merging the completion of mission objectives with dogfighting your fellow players through PvP missions, where other players will try to counter your efforts to complete goals. Our interview should provide <em>Black Prophecy</em> fans with a solid overview of the game's mission design, which will be an essential aspect of the sci-fi MMO's gameplay.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/black-prophecy-gallery/">Black Prophecy</a></strong></p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/black-prophecy-gallery/#4247000"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/massively.joystiq.com/media/2011/06/tyishadowdrone04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/black-prophecy-gallery/#4246999"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/massively.joystiq.com/media/2011/06/tulimameliorows11_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/black-prophecy-gallery/#4246998"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/massively.joystiq.com/media/2011/06/tulimameliorows04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/black-prophecy-gallery/#4246996"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/massively.joystiq.com/media/2011/06/screenshot68483896171313173600_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/black-prophecy-gallery/#4246995"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/massively.joystiq.com/media/2011/06/frigateaurelia03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/02/01/massivelys-black-prophecy-qanda-mission-systems/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Massively's Black Prophecy Q&amp;A: Mission Systems</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/02/01/massivelys-black-prophecy-qanda-mission-systems/">Massively's Black Prophecy Q&amp;A: Mission Systems</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:00:00 EST.
