Loot Drop Kickstarter Interview

An interview on Gamasutra talks with Tom Hall and Brenda Brathwaite of Loot Drop about their just-announced Kickstarter for an "old school RPG." They discuss their goal of melding traditional elements like character development and investment with modern elements like advanced graphics. There's also a discussion of how the pair will be developing two different parts of the same game world, which explains why one of the Kickstarter's stretch goals is two separate games. Here's a bit on that:
Brathwaite and Hall have conceived of the game as having two distinct worlds part of the same universe and the same timeline, where one of them is fundamentally Brathwaite's and the other's is Hall's, with a bridge connecting the two.

Hall's second world is viewed as something of a sequel if the game's stretch funding goals are met. But ultimately the pair will collaborate on all aspects of development, and in Hall, Brathwaite has the ideal complement to her RPG values.

very nice interview. backed this easily. would have backed anything with tom hall in it, but brenda as well. wizardy 8 is one of my all time favourites. hopefully they'll get to do the two full games thing, I mean even if the kickstarter doesn't go that far they could still get to do that if the first game is a success. would probably be a better idea too to have the full team working on one and then the other game, but maybe that's how they intend to make that work anyway.
