A couple weeks ago I wrote an article about freeorion where I presented the project’s current status, my first impressions and some screenshots. The game is still in alpha stage (version 0.3 on a roadmap to 1.0) with many of its features still in development, so in order to have some more information I contacted freeorion and arranged for an interview with freeorion’s Programming Lead: Zach Lain, which kindly promptly agreed to share with us some of his thoughts for the game.
