Warren Spector Starts His Own Shop

Posted by Zonk on from the back-in-action dept.

Gamespot has the word that designer Warrren Spector has gone ahead and formed his own development shop. The company, Junction Point, is titled after a MMOG that Warren designed but never got off the ground. From the article: "The company has started preliminary development on a "fantasy" title created by Spector, who worked at Dungeons and Dragons creator TSR in the 1980s. Although Spector said the title was rapidly evolving, he did not give any indication about what specific subgenre the game would fall under or what platforms it would be released for."

    That's ok. That's what the millions of uninformed "experts" spouting vague conjecture on internet forums are for.

    I personally know for a fact* that the new game will "employ massive scalability, breathtaking 3D environments taking place in a rich story-based realm, immersive best-of-breed interactive e-benchmarks, and breasts."

    Why yes, I did just concieve that using eBizWeb's Game Press Release Maker Gold v1.5! Why do you ask?

    * fact n. Reasoning based on inconclusive evidence; speculation or supposition
