WarCry Interviews Runic Games' Travis Baldree
Posted on 2008-Oct-9 at 03:00
When was the decision made to form Runic Games?
My name is Travis Baldree. I originally WoW Gold created the Diablo-style Action-RPG FATE, and then went on to build the WoW Gold Flagship Seattle team as Project Director, where we created Mythos, an Action-RPG MMO.
Our fantastic team is comprised of the original members of Flagship Seattle, who have a large number of released titles between them, and who have worked closely together on Mythos through thick and thin.
What is the background for the name "Runic Games"?
Please introduce yourselves and give us your game development histories.
I think like most company names, it was a tortuous process of elimination, where everyone had their favorites. A long process of thinking up fantastic names and WoW Gold discovering that someone else already had them resulted in a short list of finalists, and an elimination round determined the winner. I should really come up with a better story though!
Max Schaefer, my partner, was the Executive Producer for Mythos. He was one of the original Founders of Condor ( which became Blizzard North ), the creators of the Diablo franchise, which needs no introduction. Max went on to become one of the cofounders of Flagship Studios, and we've been working together on Mythos for the past few years.
Immediately after the dissolution of Flagship Studios, we knew we wanted to get back to doing what we'd started with Mythos. We believe that there really isn't much in the market like what we were attempting to do - an Action-RPG with a large shared MMO world, and fast-paced randomized dungeon adventuring. Our entire Seattle team is really WoW Gold like a family, and we knew we wanted to stick together, and this seemed like the right thing to do. Maybe sooner than we expected to be doing it - but sometimes you just have to treat life's unexpected twists as an opportunity.
