"I’m wondering if I’m the only one who thinks such a setting is fertile ground for the AAA MMORPG treatment.
I say AAA because an indie game based on the early American frontier has been languishing in lack-of-funding hell
for seven years now, and it makes me sad to think that no established
company has the gumption to pony up for a massive excursion to the land
of six shooters and well-worn cowpokes. With Rockstar’s game tearing up the sales charts, there is clearly an interest in the subject matter." -Jef Reahard, Massively

 Yup - with a home on the web for over seven years now, the Frontier 1859 community continues to garner new members from around the world despite its' prairie schooner wheels being stuck in the mud along the trail of funding. With a home on Facebook, in France, Germany, and the US, there is more than enough public commitment to the dream that was first brought to public awareness in 2003. "The vision is honed and polished, and has grown up over the years. The community has played a major role in that. The dream to restore RPG and adventure to the MMO is one that we all share" - says community manager "Spirestar," and funded or not, we remain persistent." Happy 7th Anniversary!

Last week we gathered together a batch of choice indie developers from Simutronics, Near Death, Cosmic Origins and Icarus Studios and asked them some stunningly insightful (well!) questions on creating MMOs. Today we bring you the second, and final part of our conversation. If you missed Part 1, you may want to start there.
To refresh your memories, our four indie warriors are:
Stephanie Shaver, Simutronics, HERO'S JOURNEY
Daniel McMillan, Cosmic Origins, FRONTIER 1859
Christophe Watkins, Icarus Studios, FALLEN EARTH
Brian 'Psychochild' Green, Near Death Studios, MERIDIAN 59
...Now, back to our show already in-progress! |
