MORE COLLABORATION THAN EVER BEFORE
(25 August 2005, 22:06 | Civ4) GameSpy`s Allen "Delsyn" Rausch caught up with Sid Meier, Firaxis Games` Director of Creative Development, at this year`s "GenCon" gathering. In addition to the company`s Pirates! remake, Civilization IV comes up in the discussion. [W]e`re in the final stages of [its] production, Meier says. In terms of comparing this Civilization`s development over previous ones, the gaming industry veteran comments that it is much more of [a] collaboration between our designers and our fans. We`ve had a lot of feedback over the years about what works and what doesn`t in [Civ] and it`s had a big impact on the final game.
Meier also mentions joking with Lynn Drover from Eagle Games, the company behind the Civilization boardgame that Drover`s company made a Civ title that`s [t]ru[ly] 3D and... inherently multiplayer.
Earlier, Meier indicated that he was attending "GenCon" with his son, who`s into Role Playing Games (RPGs) and Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games, to spend some time with him, and check out some cool new games. No titles of Firaxis` are being promoted at the event, and Meier would not be specific on what titles post-CivIV his company is working on. I will say that I`m working on two things, though. If everything goes right, you should see them in [20]06 and [20]07. - DanQ
