HomeLAN Fed's Tales Of Alvin Maker Q&A covers the recently announced MMORPG based on the works of author Orson Scott Card in a discussion with Andrew Tepper from developer eGenesis: "Before ATITD existed I contacted Orson Scott Card about helping out with "a unique sort of MMO" - I had no particular theme or story in mind, but did have the concept for a game based on social puzzles and moral dilemmas (crafting too!). OSC was the one writer who tackled these issues brilliantly. Of course at the time we were one of a zillion unknown game companies with no track record and no experience. Still, we corresponded a bit - that was years ago. I contacted him again recently because I love the Alvin Maker series of books. Almost immediately we both knew that this game must be made, and so we agreed to make it happen."
