RPS Interview with Jon Mavor

The thing I'm most impressed by is how for the first time in a long time I feel respected as a gamer. The way this game is being sold to me makes me feel like I don't have to fight the machine to get on board with it.

After years of publisher shenanigans I'm so thrilled to experience the process of this game's development from a developer that understands the people they're making the game for.

So, thank you.

I've been meaning to say since August that this is the most professionally done Kickstarter. The way the team has interacted with the fans is just amazing, it's what I wished Fargo would do. Only Schafer really comes close.

The only problem now is the wait. Hey, maybe we should kickstart a year's supply of crystal meth. To get the most out of our investment...

I'm unsure exactly what caused it, but I haven't been this confident in a game since I made my first trivia challenge :mrgreen: . I just know it will work, and it will be perfect (no pressure... well, maybe a little).

Perhaps it's the confidence the team appears to have. Could be the communication with us. Maybe it's just that I loved this concept. I don't think I am yet to hear a comment / opinion from you guys that I disagree with after reconsidering things logically. I'm sure that will change (as all things do), but as of now, every day I am more glad I backed this.

I'd post messages of thanks every day, but I've tried to cut down on the spam :lol:

BTW, I think having constant updates is fantastic, if not essential. No better way to simultaneously promote legitimate purchases and keep the current players than new content.

Great interview! I enjoyed it very much. I like your tone, Neutrino!
You were very open and honest and talked positive about your history in the gaming industry.

Especially you talked positive about Chris Taylor. That gives me a good feeling after all the discussion about Chris Taylors opinion on PA.

Regarding the video of Radix, your game from 1996, I notice that the intro makes reference to "United Earth Space Alliance", and also the first mission is on Theta-2.

Is this a proto-UEF and a Theta Passage precursor?

Nope. My friend Greg MacMartin came up with that stuff and it's completely unrelated to the current stuff. He's currently working on his own project called Consortium.

Do tell you friend that he did a great job with Interdimensional Games. My friend and I are determined to "beat" it.
