Hero's Song - What's Next for Smedley's Dream Game? a Interviews at MMORPG.com
Hero's Song is the new game from John Smedley's Pixel Mage Games, and though it failed to gain traction via Kickstarter, the unique MMORPG with a Patrick Rothfuss crafted world is forging ahead. We caught up with John to see where the game is in development now...

People make mistakes, just like I am sure you have. Companies are run by people. So holding people/companies to a higher standard than you expect people to hold you up to, is just moronic.
sigh was gonna give a history lesson and post interviews which shows how much lucasarts influenced that decision and smed not going around mitigating blame but too much effort

However, due to lack of resources or not wanting to spend them SOE/LA declined that, but the idea eventually made the NGE.
This game actually looks really cool, I'm a huge fan of pixel art. So please ex SWGers, it's been more then a decade, let it go for fuck sakes.
It's a fucking video game, not like we're remembering millions of soldiers who died in war. That is something we shouldn't forget. SWG is gone, deal with it.
It is not even about 2D art style,ALL graphics are in reality 2D,it is more about just simply looking like crap.
What he is attempting to do is remake a super cheap version of EQ2,taking 5 years of work and trying to fit it into less than 1 year.You watch,i said this long ago about EQN,this will be 100% guaranteed an EARLY release,founders packs lmao,so in other words,selling unfinished work.He saw it worked for H1Z1 so he will do it again,4-6 months of work released for sale.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
In other words, we don't have the money or time for the true 3 to 4 year development cycle of a complete game, nor do we have a completed vision for our game, so lets sell what we have now and add what people ask for later to the cash shop. Worked for Cryptic Studios.
MMORPG: One last thing - will you be opening up some sort of crowdfunding program outside of Kickstarter? There were quite a few people intrigued by the ideas of HS on MMORPG.com, and despite the Kickstarter failing, I'm sure there are those who'd like to back Hero's Song.
JS: We’re going to be doing something to let people get the game early. It might end up being a crowdfunding campaign or just straight up pre-orders that let you into the game early. We’re considering both. Either way people are going to get a lot better idea of exactly what Hero’s Song is over the next 4-6 weeks and I think people are going to get as excited to play it as we are making it.
Anyone thinking anything he is associated with will be half decent is deluding themselves. Even his old EQ buddy Brad MacQuaid has a much better chance of producing a decent game than him. John has swallowed his foot so many times it is not even funny anymore.
GAME TIL YOU DIE!!!!
this looks like a phone/tablet game - is that it?
