It's difficult for me to measure the eagerness of those outside our "circle". Jonric: What's your perception of the current level of anticipation for the game, and how difficult has it been to retain fan interest over its lengthy development period? Marc DeForest: Our existing fans are very eager to see the game, and that excites us. We may open it up at the end, but have yet to make a decision. The beta should begin in the coming weeks and is restricted to those who pre-ordered the game. We have a vision for a game, and we won't stop until we've hit it. Secondly, we will not cut corners on this title. as if we're the only ones, and this is just our second game. The first reason is because we're still a bit green as a studio and creating timelines that we can actually achieve is a bit difficult. We needed more time for a couple of reasons. Our initial launch date was winter of 2006. Jonric: When is Savage 2 expected to ship? Why did your original target launch date change, and what are your plans with respect to beta testing? Marc DeForest: Savage 2 should be finished in the summer of 2007. This will attract the diehard fans of Savage 1 as it will feel familiar, yet capture the hearts of more casual players due to easier to grasp (yet hard to master) gameplay. We've learned from many of our mistakes, altered some gameplay mechanics, added a tutorial, and really cleaned up the interface and make sure all aspects of the game give strong feedback. This was because we released the game too early and it was our first attempt. Throw on top of that automated match recording, statistical reporting, clan creation / management, built-in leagues and tournaments, and an inexpensive $29.99 price tag, and we think we have a real winner on our hands.Ī Shield Generator blocks a gunblast Jonric: To what extent can this game attract to those who didn't play the first one, and what is the basis for your opinion?
