Word from the MSN Gaming Zone is that they will be hosting a developer chat this evening with not one, not two, but (yup) three noted developers, working on completely separate titles, rounding up Alex Garden (Homeworld); Mark Frohnmayer (TRIBES/TRIBES2); and Tim Znamenacek (Age of Empires). Here's the poop on the chat, scheduled for 9:00 PM EDT tonight:
