Up, UP, AND....Away? An Interview with PRESIDENT of Tektonic Studios Dan Scott

How many MMORPGS are coming out next year? Care to hazard a guess? A LOT! Are you excited about any of them or are you preparing yourself for another let down? You have the right to be skeptical! We've seen terrible failures for titles that we thought would finally deliver something new, something tangible, and something that would finally wrap our minds in the warm blanket of fantasy and keep us entranced. Is it the developers, the designers, the marketing machine? What will it take to satisfy our thirst for the perfect game world?

We set out to answer this question and found a company that may hold the key to this enigma! President Dan Scott of Tektonic studios has built what can only be called a legendary team that pulls from old and new talent alike. I am not exaggerating! This super-hero-like group has experience that covers decades of game development from Leisure Suit Larry and Kings Quest to the development of Asheron's Call! Dan was kind enough to talk with us candidly about what it took to build this team, and what their vision is for the future landscape of Online Role-playing Games, and some unexpected hurdles they have to overcome.
