Gax Community Cast Interview with WarDog Studios about their new Mech MMOG: Force of Arms
Gax users, I'm proud to present the first Unofficial Gax Community Cast Interview! I sit down with Patrick Hamilton, Jeff Newcomb, and Brian Hoadley (who also happens to be user Agamemnon) of WarDog Studios about their first project, Force of Arms, a mech-based MMO reminiscent of Mechwarrior and (maybe) Gundam. Why interview them, you ask? Here's the short list of what started the pants party for me:
Game world is 4,000 km x 4,000 km at a 1:1 ratio
Player created mechs, outposts, cities, alliances, etc.
Player driven story arcs, including the (re)discovery of interstellar travel and terraforming
(As of now) Free game client- only pay a subscription fee
They're going for their vision- NOT millions of subscribers
So listen already!

wtf is up with the voices? Why do they sound like chipmunks!??! SO ANNOYING.
Looking forward to the game...someone linked a video of this game a few days back and reminded me about it. Have been looking forward to this for a good while, cant wait. All other mech MMOs suck something awful, hopefully this will be fun!

Played tabletop Battletech for many years, I want this!
I've been jonesing for a mech-esque MMO ever since they canceled Multiplayer Battletech: 3025 beta a few years ago.
I'll be on top of this shit like white on rice.

- Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone, not sure what happened with the voice during the interview, it did sound rather odd but who can be sure with Skype sometimes... ;) Patrick has crosslinked back to the site here to the interview, so you may see several new faces pop on.

Comment by KnowledgeJunkie on May 13, 2008 at 9:48pm - I'm sorry some people are having quality issues with the interview. Unfortunately, I can't get it pinned down to one specific reason (except maybe the Gax Player). I can't replicate the problem myself, so troubleshooting it is difficult. I have asked Gary to look into it, and I hope we can get this worked out as soon as possible.
