Flagship Studios Interview

Gamingeye has conducted an interview with Flagship Studios’ Bill Roper, asking the former Blizzard employee quite a few questions about the new development company. An excerpt:

Q: What type of genre is Flagship most interested in developing games for?

A: We like to make games we would want to play, and for better or for worse, you name it and we probably play it. We play everything from Collectible Card Games to Role Playing Games to Real Time Strategy to First Person Shooters to MMORPGs to AD&D. We play all sorts of board games, Magic and even the occasional hand of poker. We love games, plain and simple, so when we sat down to choose what type of game to make, we had a lot on our minds.

While we aren’t divulging a lot about our game quite yet, the concept is quite different than what we’ve done in the past in many ways. There are specific philosophies of game design that we would incorporate into game we did, and I also think that fans of our past games will see that and appreciate it. Gamers can expect an exciting, compelling, addictive experience with a strong multiplayer component and a lot of content to keep them coming back for more and more and more!
