Which is why I havn't read this thread in a while.

Well, the thread has stagnated a bit. With the official baseball season starting up (while not as time-consuming for Curt as others, it still takes time out of his day), 38 Studios being in hush-hush mode, and Moorgard/Blackguard still rather sheepish in these parts it was bound to happen. I apologize for assisting in the derailment.

If you have a question/comment to get things back on-track, feel free to throw it out there. I'm still tapped after my last 20 questions.

Enter 38 Studios first official contest for a chance to become part of 38 Studios history--and earn some cool stuff to boot!

38 Studios’ beloved little green mascot, Munch, was born to personify the company’s values and attitudes. He's upbeat, tenacious, focused, competitive, mischievous, driven to excellence, and ever-hungry for World Domination Through Gaming.

In 75 words or less, give us your best Munch monsterography -- his background, favorite food, color, song and any other fun facts you can imagine. To get you started, he’s 3’8”, 138 pounds, and Chaotic Good in nature. The rest is up to you, but keep it clean--we like Munch!

Deadline: April 24, 2007
Word count: 75
Send entries to: Contest1 [at] 38studios.com
Prizes: Author credit; 38 Studios t-shirt, cap, and sundry apparel autographed by 38 Studios’ own Curt Schilling
Judges: Curt Schilling, R. A. Salvatore, and other 38 Studios luminaries

His favorite food is obviously Yankees. If the winner does not have that, then there is something seriously wrong with this world.

Vatoreus · 04-16-2007, 01:49 AM

fuck man... had to say bob salvatore was gonna read it didn't you. That makes me nervous as hell, my all time favorite writer. /quakeinboots

We ain't the sheepish types; there just isn't any benefit for us to drone on about something you won't be seeing for years.

Talking about unreleased MMOs is like daydreaming about going on a date with someone you haven't met yet.

Rather than spending years trying to convince you how next gen our design theories are, we'd rather make something cool and let you talk about it amongst yourselves.

Well, Curt has talked about his baseball way before i even took a peak into this thread. If you dont like it, you can just simply ignore it. We have other shit in other threads where they go WAY the fuck off topic, yet you wanna bitch becuase i said he was pitching and he was pitching a good game? FYP

There isn't?! Better start telling some of the other developers that; I don't think they got the memo.

In due time we'll be able to engage you guys a bit on some things running around in our heads. Our site will get more interactive in the near future and at that point will be relevant to what we are doing and you are interested in.

Maxxius · 04-16-2007, 02:50 PM

Well many of us talked about an unreleased MMO called Vanguard, and trust me that was a date a lot of us didn't wind up going on heheh.

Seriously, if you sift through these threads you really can get a sense of what the market likes and dislikes. Worse thing to do is ignore that pulse, stay stubborn with ideas, and then watch your product flop as a result.

I guess my biggest question is if everything is "so far down the road" then why even bring up the whole thing yet on this or any other board?

It really boggles my mind that you on one hand talk about a new gaming company and a groundbreaking game but on the other hand talk like it is years off and that you won't release any info for ages.

Just seems like a monumental waste of your time that could be better used running said company unlike some MMO leaders seem to have done.

Well, I'm sure Curt isn't doing any actual coding, or concept art or writing design docs. It's not like he is wasting all his precious dev time talking here. Not like he has much to do day-to-day anyway, that's what managers and staff are for. So he posts once a week on the FoH boards and has a little blog.. travesty!

Cadrid · 04-16-2007, 09:58 PM

I was under the impression that Curt is the CEO of 38 Studios, meaning he owns it and works with the financing/construction, but Brett (the president) is the one actually doing a lot of the managing of departments, keeping people on-task and on-schedule, while the various leads (McFarlane, Salvatore, etc.) handle the brick-by-brick construction and conceptualization of the title. Curt can, as CEO, give his input, ideas, and so forth, but the company isn't going to be hampered by his absence or divided time.

EDIT: Wow, that's one helluva run-on.

Faille · 04-16-2007, 10:03 PM

Maybe they're just fans of the genre in general and enjoy talking with other fans about it.

karuden · 04-17-2007, 02:45 PM

Well I guess only time will tell us how the "hands off" approach works.

Of course the CEO of the Fortune 100 company I work for never gets involved in the running of the company. He is totally hands off and lets all the minions make all the decisions. FAT F'n CHANCE.

A CEO had better be involved or can you say oh I don't know how about for example..... FAILURE
