Fargo speech

Very interesting, thanks for linking. I didn't know Fargo was a programmer as well. Funny to hear about him marketing his own game, pretending to be a fan, calling stores to demand them to stock it... Cut out for business, that guy :) And the fact that he helped start Blizzard and Bioware...

edit. It's unbelievable what he says about publishers. How they would tag him on Facebook or FarmVille or whetever, while he was waiting for weeks to hear from them about his W2 pitch...! Or the asshole that text messaged on his phone during a pitch by Fargo and Anderson...

Yep. It's interesting that of all the "RPG forefathers", Brian Fargo is the one that ended up being the most nostalgic and oldschool. He was never much of a nerd compared with Richard Garriott, Jon Van Caneghem, or the Wizardry guys. In fact, he was a "jock" in high school, before he got his first computer.

He gets them fat and them kills them. Maybe we'll get a bring me 10 cat pelts quest.



I think this one was already posted here, but I'm not sure, so http://www.formspring.me/JESawyer/q/371289025463475839
Have you changed your position on "gamers expect full voice acting"?

I think the expectations of the audience are predicated on a) what the camera view is and b) how much money they actually spent on the product.
Making a relatively low price point axonometric game is honestly something I didn't believe I would get a chance to do again.
I don't think the average person paying $20/$25 for a game with an axonometric camera that makes their character take up 1/10th of the screen height will be expecting full voice acting.

Do you need to be registered to send him a question?
I sent him a question, but while the popup said "message sent" it also asked to login, which I did not. So I'm not sure if he got it or not.
Maybe he has a loud of questions to answer?

mmm... one thing I've been pondering.
Obsidian took a completely different approach to their KS. They had practically announced that they would be launching a KS campaign with their countdown. And there was some press on that, and a lot of people got on their toes waiting on what they had to show for.

This could mean that the money faucet may start to run slower than expected, and they won't get the colossal piles of gold that everyone is expecting right now. We can already see it running slower.
On the other hand, I don't see how they could possibly stay below Fargo's 3 million.

Maybe that's why he doesn't need to satisfy his sexual fantasies through his video games.

If they reveal stretch goals one by one as they get completed, they will get more visibility in newsmedia.
