David Perry’s Interview with WarCry

I scooped this up off the morning feeds and it was certainly an interesting read as there’s some candor to it. I’ll select quote certain parts that provoke thoughts and comment to them. Let’s see… where to begin… ah okay this segment. The design phase has largely wrapped up. It had over 62,000 participants and Perry mentioned that, barring a last minute upset, he already has an idea of who the directorship may go to.

MMORPG Interview with DP and HM

Follow the link train - David Perry & Howard Marks GDC Interview While it was interesting to me to see what DP and HM had to say, a lot of it is stuff I already knew so it wasn’t really a big revelation to me. However it was nice to see Top Secret plugged, which always makes my day a little brighter as we slog away at it. And while I’m loosely associated with Camp Perry, I’ve never exactly been a “Follow the Party Line” kinda guy. I’ve played all of Acclaim’s released games thus far, 9Dra

Acclaim Games, based in Beverly Hills, California, is a private online video game company that offers free Massively multiplayer online role-playing games on its website upon registration. The company was founded in 2006 and is the successor of Acclaim Entertainment in terms of brand name. After Acclaim Entertainment filed for bankruptcy, former Activision CEO Howard Marks purchased the "Acclaim" name in August 2005 for $100,000 USD. He, along with Neil Malhotra, created a new company, naming it "Acclaim Games" and taking a totally different direction from the previous company.

While Acclaim Games primarily focuses on bringing to North America and Europe online games originally from Asia, it also give the opportunity to its registered members to submit video games they've created. Because its games are free, Acclaim Games rely on In-game advertising and items sales for revenues.

The company has, to this date, released three games: BOTS (which was its launching title), 9Dragons and 2Moons (being developed by David Perry). BOTS and 9Dragons has been commercially launched and 2Moons is currently in open beta but is rumoured to go commercial in early 2008, although this is doubtful. Another upcoming free MMORPG, DANCE!, is currently in open beta .

Game titles
