Dusty Macd caught up with Shards Online project director for a chat about the game. This is a bit of a longer interview; Dusty’s previous discussions with members of the Citadel Studios team have tended to be in the half-hour range. But it’s also a good re-cap of recent development that has happened on Shards, and Citadel’s plans for upcoming pre-alpha tests also get discussed. Brinkmann even teases some upcoming developments that will be added to the game, and shows off some footage of its world.

Oh, and the Codex gets name-dropped. So there’s that, too.
