New Systems Over New Content

Zenimax Online Studios seems to have adopted a unique way to release content, a way that has some of the community upset and calling the content "unfinished". Is it really unfinished content or is Zenimax releasing their content in a way that will keep players interested and engaged?

Release 16 - Defying Tech-Debt

I took another trip up to Austin last week to spend some time with Richard Garriott and Starr Long, two developers I've come to enjoy speaking with a great deal. I think we may touch one of my reasons for finding these visits particularly interesting in this article, actually. It really starts with what Starr calls "tech-debt."

General: Crowfall’s Disappointing Move

Crowfall

With crowdfunding, it's important that a game appeal to the potential audience, but also that the developers are able to deliver the most complete project in a reasonable fashion. Yet, with a game like Crowfall, riding a successful Kickstarter campaign as of this writing of over $1.3 million with days to go, one of my biggest pet peeves in the genre has popped up again, and is a huge disappointment: gender locked classes.

Wizard101: New Jewels In Your Pocket -- It's Time to Socket

New Jewels In Your Pocket -- It

The Socket System idea was born on a cool evening in late 2010, in a game mechanics discussion over root beer on a patio with a KingsIsle Designer you may know as Decius Duelmaster, from Pirate101. What's cooler than being able to customize your Wizard even more? The more and more we talked about it, I knew a feature like this would be a huge hit. I was super excited and started talking it up to folks around KI.

Crowfall and Looking Forward

What sets Crowfall apart for me though isn't the people. We've seen popular names from gaming history come back to varying levels of success on Kickstarter. It isn't the snappy video or the disappointment I may be harboring over 2014s AAA releases... It is the look forward.

Triad Wars - Doomed by a Limited Set of Mechanics...or Not?

Recently I have been taking a look at Triad Wars, a new "asynchronous MMO" from Square Enix. I won't get into every aspect of the game and how it is in no way a "real" MMO - I'll let William Murphy cover that in his video - but I would like to use Triad Wars as an example to ask: "Can a multiplayer game survive on such a limited set of mechanics?"
