WC: Your FAQ indicates that Twin Skies will be a subscription game. Do you have an idea of approximate cost for TS?
This is something we have yet to fully decide upon. Our best guess right now is that it would fall in the $5-$8 a month range, and be some sort of hybrid model between subscriptions and micropayments.
WC: Have you entertained a microtransaction model for Twin Skies?
Yes, we'll have virtual items for sale. We're strongly opposed to anything that unbalances the game economy or combat system in any way, so you won't be buying any magic swords or healing potions. We're aiming more at character customisation, emotes, in-house items and clothing.
WC: Does Meteor have any other games in development? If so, can you tell us anything about them?
Other than the MMO we're developing flash games for our website at http://www.twinskies.com. We have a few up there already and aim to release a new game every couple of weeks at the minimum. Each game will feature our characters, will tie in with the MMO world in some unique way, and you can earn website points by playing them - points that you'll be able to spend on in-game items.
WC: If no other games are in development, does Meteor have plans for other games? Do you plan to keep the same sort of model for the target audience?
Right now we have no plans to work on anything else other than Twin Skies.
WC: Do you still have a connection to Neopets?
We still talk to a few people who work there, but we have no other connection apart from that. My Neopets are probably starving by now, I'm a very bad owner.
