NeoGamr Talks with Stardock’s Derek Paxton

from JoeUser Forums

NeoGamr has shared an interview with Stardock’s Derek Paxton about the soon to be released Fallen Enchantress.

“What were your goals in developing Fallen Enchantress?

I believe in the concept of Fallen Enchantress, 4x strategy in an RPG world. I saw a lot of potential in that concept and an opportunity to make a game that I would love to play. I believe in Stardock as a world class developer of strategy games, and I was honored to be able to join that team.”

Great Interview! ... Great Publicity! ... Way to go, Kael!      :thumbsup:        

 

Dealt me an Epiphany too.  I know that your background is that you came from the modding community.  Of course, I knew that modding will be a large part of the Fallen Enchantress post-release universe (with Seanw3 constantly on the forums, how could I not know?)     :grin:     

But, kidding aside, one of your pronouncements in this interview really makes an impression: " ... I love the game we made.  But we only made one game, with mods there can be hundreds or thousands of games to play.  ... "   This is an "order of magnitude" type observation.  It alters the landscape of the Future  ...  100's or 1,000's  ... that should give a lot of folks "food for thought", and make the "vanilla" game all the more enticing ... and sell-able!

Like I said: Great Interview!     ;)

What was all that nonsense about taking a break after release? I heard the deal was that Derek would let the devs out of their chains to go to the bathroom, but no one said anything about a break. Maybe he meant bathroom break?

He's politely saying it's time for Sean and HF to take the reins for a little while. :jafo:
