At Gamespor, you can find an interview with Jeff Blattner of New World Computing, concerning NWC's Heroes of Might & Magic 4. Here's a bit for you:
GS: Many fans of the Heroes series have proven themselves to be dedicated, even fanatical. Did you have trouble reconciling the wishes of dedicated Heroes fans with those of the team, as well as with what more mainstream players would want?
JB: Last year we had a fan theme his bar mitzvah around Heroes of Might and Magic. We do have some incredibly enthusiastic fans but disappointingly few groupies.
We get tons of great feedback from our fans. Often, suggestions are very much in line with our present thoughts and plans. It would be impossible to make a game that used every suggestion we received, but we frequently measure our current development against what our fans are hoping for and/or expecting. The bottom line is that we make games that we all want to play, and we keep our fingers and assorted body parts crossed, hoping that other people will want to play them too.
I think we have a game that would appeal to a mass market, but the challenge is getting people to try the game. Most people get hooked once they play Heroes for any length of time. |
