ausm interview mit nem aox entwickler (musste ich einfach posten)
Jamers: Now, I'd like to ask about EA.Boci: Just one thing, we made contract with EA
partners not with the big EA.Jamers: What exactly is EA Partners? Is it a
smaller version of EA, or partner of EA?Boci: EA is a smaller version of EA, which deals
with independent developers, while EA itself, deals with companies who are owned
by EA.Jamers: And what exactly is EA Partner's job that
they are supposed to do for you?Boci: EA’s job is to publish the game, and advertise
(market) it. They’ve also made the sound recordings, and the localization of
the game. They also have a big testing group where they test the game/patches.
Jamers: Let’s face it, the game is pretty unknown
right now, as can be evidenced by the rather small community, and the small
number of people on at a time. What are your views on this? Do you think this
will change with the release? Do you have any specific plans to increase the
game’s popularity? Does EA?Boci: We hope that the online community will grow
bigger and bigger after the release, and if more people like the game, then
more will know about it. We plan to support the game for a long time, such as
arranging tournaments. We feel that the game is good, and this will spread on
the internet. We are also working on a community site (the ladder site), and
we will create more materials for fansites. So, yes, I think the community will
be big. EA will advertise the game more, if they see, that the community begins
to grow. Battlefield was an EA Partners game too, and was taken by the big EA.
und das hier ist toll
Jamers: Now, you’ve mentioned that you plan to
support the game for a long time. Does this mean all of the support will be
done by your company? IE, it will not become the duty of EA?Boci: It will be done by our company, EA will only
test the patches we make for a short time.
