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!             

 

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?)         

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!

I finished reading the article. What did i walk away from it with? An obsessive need to know what was the minor game mechanice they were discussing. sigh. I'm hopeless.

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.
