New Auto Assault interview

[Brother None]

Killer Betties has done an interview with Scott Brown, the project leader of Auto Assault. Skipping the woman-specific questions and retarded questions like "Will there be any type of "magic" system in the game? How will this work?", I'll just quote the bit that the people at Blue's News deemed appropriate to quote:<blockquote>How did this game come about? Who was involved in the creation of the idea and bringing it to this stage?

NetDevil has had a few titles in mind that we have desperately wanted to play and are making them now. The idea of an online car game has been something we have been kicking around for a long time. Once we finished our last game, Jumpgate, we took some of the ideas we had learned from that and put it together in a pitch to NCsoft, who, being a leader in publishing games that are both really fun and totally new, really liked the idea and the rest is history. We had some very specific design goals that the team now runs with and is fleshing out, truly amazing maps and missions. The art team creates their own concepts and brings them to life, bringing the game from our initial ideas to reality.</blockquote>Link: Auto Assault interview on Killer Betties

Off the record, I have to say this interview is comedy gold

Will women be able to create avatars that have understated body types?

Oy! Me no like.

I like especially how Scott by stating "That is a hard question to answer as I don’t think all women can be lumped into liking or disliking any particular game feature" shows he's significantly less sexist than the woman interviewing him.

PS: I'd hit Annie Fodge

Aye. Just look at this question:

How many women are involved in the development of this title and how big is the team in general? Do you think having women on the development team acts as a checks and balances for features that would appeal to women and features that would turn women off? Are there any examples you can give where having a woman's point of view was a great asset during the development?

Geez, though I thought Scott Brown did well under it.

Really though, did they not look at the website? The art for the various factions is enough to raise some pointed questions on Auto Assaults portrayal of women.

On that note, doesn't look you have to worry to much after all, Kharn.
