He's a board member, not a designer, and he's a board member because he was smart enough to be good at what he did and 'retire' at about age 35. Oh, he invented Mrs Pac Man too.
Seriously this project will fail so fucking hard it isn't funny. Shit the company is named after the guys baseball uniform number...
Ya, about as stupid as naming your company after a snowstorm. Like that's even relevant to this whole thing anyway? I love people like you. 2-2.5 years from now it's always nice to look back and wonder about the stable of people thinking, no wishing, you'd fail miserably.
It's always easier to root against people because so many people are in the 'misery loves company' camp. If they can't succeed and be great at something, no one else should either.
Two years ago he posted how they played warhammer table top at work. It's basically him throwing money away and eager beavers taking it willingly.
Really? Where was that post? Can you reference that for me? What I stated was I was a HUGE GW fan and that at lunch we had some awesome WH tabletop battles. Not sure how that came to be what you state above.
Oh and ya, 60 some odd people picked up their families, many leaving jobs with salaries in the six figures, just so I 'could throw money at them". Please.
Took me 1-2 lines in to your post to realize that while you may be labeled a 'veteran' poster, you don't know shit about making games or the people that do it. But you won't hesitate to blabber on and try to piss on peoples parades, because that's what makes people like you feel good.
sorry but tsetse I think you fail to realize how technical a project like this is. Even the very experienced people at mythic are overloaded with bugs and weird technical shit. Complete noobs with no great technical people are going to flop so hard trying to make a "world domination through gaming" mmo.
And you do? What is your background and expertise to make these observations? Or is 'how technical a project like this is" as deep as you can get? The guys at mythic aren't 'overoaded', their dealing with exactly what Mark expected when you make a behemoth like that, and their dealing with it just fine.
Complete noobs? Did you read anything on the site beyond Doug's profile? If you did then you are dumber than your post makes you appear. There isn't a noob on the development team. In fact there's about 75% of the team that has been part of a prior MMO that's been published, with many actually working together on a project.
Actually, if you look at them, the dev team for this IP is as accomplished and published as any team has ever been at this stage of their companies life, and even though it's going to sound biased, imo they are more talented than any group I've seen.
Time will tell, proof will be in the pudding, all that jazz applies here, but I'm comfortable in saying you made this post with zero experience in publishing a computer game of any kind, and after reading 1-2 bios in a company of 60+ people.
