David Swofford, the communications director, and Kyuho Kim, the COO of NCSoft, were partners for a short interview about Lineage - The Bloodpledge at Electric Playground. Here's a bit of what they had to say:
DS: In a lot of ways the graphics for the style of game are pretty advanced-looking. The graphical nature of it allows us to have a smaller client, and allows our distribution model to work better, which is download and not retail.
We're about to launch episode 10, and each episode of Lineage brings with it new geography, new territory, new architecture, new art, new monsters, new creatures...and each time the Lineage team has put out a new episode the graphics keep getting better and better. I don’t know if you’ve seen the underwater city graphics that we had in episode nine, they're beautiful! This lost city of Atlantis type feel, it's astounding what they've done with the artwork. I personally like the way the artwork looks. |
