38 Studios: An Interview from the New York ComicCon

[Cody Bye]

Development studios come and go, each touting their own big name developers that came from X game or have worked with Y studio. It isn't every day, however, that you see the likes of Curt Schilling, Bob Salvatore, Todd McFarlane, Steve Danuser, Mary Kirchoff, Scott Cuthbertson, Jeff Murchie and Rich Gallup all gathered into one studio to develop the world's next great game. However, that's the case with 38 Studios, and Ten Ton Hammer's Garrett Fuller caught up with the team at this year's New York ComicCon. His interview with them is informative as well as candid, so don't miss it!

Jeff Murchie spoke about the art style of the game and explained that it is not about reproducing Spawn or following the style of any MMOs that have come before it. The team has weekly meetings with Todd McFarlane to discuss everything from environments, character design, and visual effects. The team has set very high goals stylistically and hopes to achieve a new standard in artwork and design with the game and products.

"What do you expect from this studio?"

Big Big things! With that list of names under the same roof the possibilities boggle the mind

"Will they meet player expectations?"

Based on the statement below...

"38 Studios remains a very professional company. They have plans to take care of their developers and team so that they stay in the studio long into the future. Sadly, many game studios lay off their team once the game is launched, 38 Studios seems to be a place where the team will stay together for a very long time. Scott also explained Curt Schilling’s commitment to the team he is putting together. He makes sure the creators and developers are happy and work in a great environment. It is great to see a studio remain so professional with its staff."

This is a big deal when it comes to keeping any type of team motivated... when you know the man your working for has your back, it's all good.
