Lord British Completely Misses Irony
Lord British Completely Misses Irony:
The two choice quotes from the article:
“[Other game designers] generally say, ‘You know, I really like Medal of Honor, but I would have bigger weapons, or I would have more healing packs, or,’ you know. They go to make one or two changes to a game they otherwise love versus really sit down and rethink,‘How can I really move the needle here?’”
That’s a direct quote from Richard Garriott, basically calling out his fellow game developers for incrementing or re-visiting the well too often.
Then the article concludes with this (not the quote inside is taken directly from the Kickstarter page):
“Garriott’s new game, Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues, has succeeded on Kickstarter with the promise that it’s a ‘return to his fantasy RPG roots, hearkening back to his innovative early work.’”
Uh-huh.
