Flagship Seattle Formed

by Maarten Goldstein, Dec 14, 2006 7:34am PST

We received this press release, announcing that Flagship Studios now has a subsidiary studio in Seattle. Flagship Seattle is headed up by former Wild Tangent lead designer Travis Baldree, and employs people who have worked on games like Total Annihilation, Dungeon Siege and SWAT 3. The studio's first project will be Mythos, an online RPG set for release (through digital distribution) next year. The game will serve as a test of the multiplayer technology being used for Hellgate: London. Here's a single Mythos screenshot

The main thing that stands out to me in that paragraph is "Wild Tangent". I don't know about you guys but the first thing that comes to my mind is the pain in the ass process of uninstalling anything made by Wild Tangent. I'm not saying the same will happen here or that they still do the same at Wild Tangent, I just remember a few little games and winamp plugins where I couldn't get rid of them.

Perhaps i'm stupid, very likely, but it saying it will serve as a test of the multiplayer tech being used for Hellgate means Hellgate is a lot further out?

:(

Please correct me.

I loved Fate completely because of its casual vibe, familiarity, and the way you could play it for 10 minutes or 10 hours and feel like you had made progress. If they can bring that same sort of vibe to MMORPG-lite I'll be playing on launch day.

The reason I don't play WoW anymore is that despite how fun it was to get to level 60, I don't have the 2+ hour chunks of free time it takes to do raids.

Go Travis, go!

So...is Mythos going to be free? Because marketing the game as "simply a test of the technology in a real game" isn't exactly making me want to plunk down money.

Now, as a freely downloadable mini-game (ala Wolfenstein: ET) I could see this working great!
