Russell Williams returns with his monthly update to his log in our developer journal series and, as an added bonus we also receive three exclusive screenshots.
PAX ruled! We had five demo stations set up, two of which were PvP-only, with a classic pirate Xebec up against a Navy Galleon, and it was great to watch real gamers blowing each other up on the high seas. There were also mission stations for PvE, and a big 50 monitor where we were showing some of the bigger navy ships of the line, 64 gun monstrosities that can smash a schooner into toothpicks with just one broadside.
PAX targets gamers, not business people, so it was also fun hobnobbing with the fans and discussing what we were building, debating the finer points of MMPs, and where the best gaming was happening. All in all, it was a ton of fun. |

Wow, the whole thing is really starting to shape up.
Awesome.
Can't wait to play!
Wow, a developer who sounds like a professional that has his crap together. Unlike some of the dev interviews/logs for a couple other games supposedly coming out in a few months. I'm excited.
I'm curious to know how the Euro/Asia trip pans out. Hard sell or will overseas companies jump on board?
(Good luck Rusty!)
