Gamespot UK has posted a Q&A with Stargate Worlds developers Joe Ybarra, Rod Nakamoto and Dan Elggren. The discussion focuses on the progress devs are making towards a 2008 release and Project: Ascension.

GSUK: Can you tell us more about Project: Ascension?

Rod Nakamoto: Project: Ascension is a code name for a framework for fun games, much like a shopping centre is a framework for stores. A mall has big anchors like Macy's and Nordstrom's here in the United States. In much the same way that a mall brings together disparate stores and restaurants to offer a great entertainment package, Project: Ascension will bring together a variety of games, all in the online space. There's much more to it than that, but that's all we can tell you about [it] at this time.

Obviously Stargate Worlds won't have the full dynamic of Project: Ascension at launch. The full depth can't be achieved until there are multiple titles existing in the framework. We'll be announcing more of those titles this summer.

There's lots more to be read at Gamespot.
