MYTHOS: Jason Beck, Lead Artist on Flagship Studios鈥 upcoming hack 鈥榥鈥 slap MMO, MYTHOS, has written up an insider鈥檚 look at the game for G-Spy.
Being a big fan of the very fun and reasonably-priced Fate, and a huge fan of Diablo II, MYTHOS has captured my attention. Check out this fresh report - new screenshocks are included. *Well, they claim new screens, but as of this posting I don鈥檛 see any views more recent than July - but there鈥檚 a good selection.
鈥淥ne of the great things about our team (and Flagship as a whole) is that we all know and love the fantasy genre as well as action-RPGs. Consider Flagship San Francisco鈥檚 heritage of working on Diablo and Diablo II (among many others) mixed with the Seattle team, where nearly all of us worked on FATE. It鈥檚 a fantastic collection of people who are well-versed in what makes these types of games fun. But given that we all have done something like this it鈥檚 about trying to do something new. If it can鈥檛 be an entirely new idea, then how can we change something familiar in the fantasy genre into something with a slightly different twist?鈥
