Citizen Zero: Dev Profile: Paul McInnes

As tight lipped as Micro Fote has been in recent months, we finally crack the surface as Paul McInnes joins our series of developer profile Q&As. Citizen Zero is a sci-fi MMORPG in development for the XBox and PC.

image MMORPG.com: The gaming industry draws from all quarters. Can you run us through how you came to your current job?

Paul McInnes: By a very indirect path. I have been making games of various kinds since I was eight, wrote my first computer game in the 1980s and have been making games as a hobby ever since. Equally, I have been an avid paper-and-pencil gamer since the early 1980s. Before I joined Micro Forte I was working on a PhD in anthropology, my other great love. I applied for a game designer job at a friend’s suggestion without any grand expectations and my combination of game-making, RPG experience and interest in online games gave me a foot in the door. If I wasn’t working in the games industry I would be studying online social interaction and dynamics as an academic.

    How recently was this interview conducted? I'm hoping recently.... it would be the only confirmation of it still being under construction for nearly a year. ::::06::

    Too cool... myself and VRVader are regulars on the non-cz related "official CZ" forum. We haven't heard anything for about a year now! So it is great to get some positive news!!

    Thanks!!!

    This game has been in development SO LONG. It war around when Neocron was in beta like 3 or 4 years ago. I always forget about it. Then posts like this come up ::::01:: I'm sure I'll forget about it again in a year and another random update will appear and I'll post the exact same thing again ::::15::
