Today on WarCry, Dan Elggren, Senior Producer at Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, talks about the game progress, the dedication of the development team, and the awesome and innovative ideas being put into Stargate Worlds.
From WarCry Network:
WarCry Network:
"The license you're working with is quite popular, but took a dent when the original series came to an end. Given many of you come from original IP backgrounds, what are some the biggest advantages and disadvantages of it so far?"
Dan Elggren:
"Stargate SG-1 may have been cancelled, but not before becoming the longest-running sci-fi show in history. That's quite a legacy to live up to. Stargate Atlantis is going strong in its third season and a third, as yet unnamed series has been announced, so there's plenty of excitement surrounding the franchise.
"The biggest advantage of working with an established, popular IP like Stargate SG-1 is the built in fan base that is so excited that they will have a chance to be part of the Stargate universe. Another great advantage is the deep and varied back story that has been fleshed out over the course of 10 seasons of SG-1 and three seasons of Atlantis. When fans of the series log in to Stargate Worlds, we want them to feel like they are coming home. When players who aren't familiar with Stargate try the game out, they will get a rich introduction to a living world that will draw them in. Those are aspects that are difficult to imbue in an original IP.
"But the knowledgeable fans and incredibly rich background also provide our biggest challenge. If we don't get a detail right, I expect to hear about it."
