Dennis Robinson, Alan Chipura, and Tony Pungitore of Magic Hat Software have been interviewed at Computer Games Magazine about 'Irth Online'. Here's a snippet:Computer Games - How did the idea for Irth Online come about?
Robinson, Chipura, and Pungitore - Again, the idea started with Alan and Dennis. They had a shared dream to create the best MMORPG ever made; a game with fewer player restrictions and more freedoms. These men were game players, MMORPG aficionados, and they knew what players wanted in a game, and how to deliver it.
Their favorite MMORPGs were fantasy-based. They wanted to have this genre reflected in a persistent world that demonstrated reality in unexpected ways that were unusual in competitive products. So the idea was born and it’s been a labor of love ever since. |
