Red 5 Studios Interview

Ten Ton Hammer brings us up to speed on what’s going on at Red 5 Studios by posting an article-format interview with founder Mark Kern.

(Whenever people ask me about (the next big thing), I like to really describe how you need to separate your business goal from your creative goal,) Mark said. (The creative goal needs to make business sense, but from a creative standpoint, we also want to take the genre farther and give users fresh new experiences. That’s our goal. We really feel like we’re standing on the shoulders of giants in that we can see from our experiences with WoW and the other games that we’ve worked on, and we can gaze just a little bit farther on the horizon than what we could in our previous games. We want to give players an awesome online experience that’s just a little different than any experience they’ve had before.)

Even with the focus on the (next big thing) being readily apparent in Mark’s words, the press release that was issued announcing Mark’s move also made mention of (future games) at Red 5 Studios. I asked Mark about these (future games) and if they were actively working on anything else besides the undisclosed MMOG project.

(That’s a future-looking statement,) Mark explained. (We’re very focused on making one game and making one game really, really awesome.)
