GB: How long has Jade Empire been in development, and where exactly do you stand with the game at this point?

Ray: We have been working on this project for just over two years already – it’s come a long way and we’re very happy with the lush world that is the setting for the game as well as the brand-new advanced graphics engine and epic storyline. The team on the game is now close to 50 people and they’re a great bunch of people – all creative, passionate, hardworking and very smart. It’s an honour for us to be able to work with them.
