Company News Iron Tower Merger Deal

[Stereotypical Villain]

" a devestating war "

Is this the kind of quality introduction I had to blow Vince for? I will not pay money for this game.

It could've been a gritty devestating dark war of maturity.

 

[Callaxes]

Am I the only one who's horny after reading this?

 

[Andhaira]

ITS should also take Basilisk Games and Spiderweb Software into the fold.

 

[Vault Dweller]

I wonder how that would work out, though. NN and Vince are complete polar opposites when it comes to how RPG's should be done.

That's the best part.

I copy-pasted what Gareth typed at 3am. Could have been a lot worse.

Yeah I guess if Gartehy wrote it, I'm surprised its not three or four pages.

Führer VD did an anschluss of SoW...

Seriously... nice news. Boner inducing.

 

[BethesdaLove]

So der Führer stretches his tentacles out into the void to grab new meat. Building an empire, huh?

I hope it will provide delicious drama when they start to fail.

 

[Hümmelgümpf]

Watch out, Bethesda, you are next! ITZ coming for you!

Vince is a skilled marketer

I should hope so given it's his fucking job.

I'm still not certain what this actually means though. From what Gareth is saying it's more like he's just signed up a publishing deal with ITS, rather than it resulting in much "pooling of resources".

 

[Naked Ninja]

Lol, thanks for the support all. And the random gifs and tomfoolery, there is no place like home.

SoW won't be changing it's design focus, don't worry. Think of it as a sharing of marketing, community and PR efforts rather than a publisher/developer relationship.

It means that Vince is good at drumming up interest and attention, a role traditionally played by advertising and hype. Mainly by talking plainly about AoD and his views on RPGs and the industry. It sounds simple but it isn't easy to be an interesting enough speaker to draw attention, to keep it and to grow it over time.

The difference between a good salesman and a bad salesman isn't the product, it's the presentation. It helps to have a good product though.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

VD just needs a creepy smile to complete his marketing portfolio.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Things are going very well for ITS...

 

[Volourn]

Mergers? Wow. Not as independent now. This is the first step on the path to corporate whoredom. R00fles!

I am sure this isn't an issue for these two games as it is about sharing resouces, not merging the games. As for future games, who knows?

Holy crap that pic freaked me out

 

[Annie Mitsoda]

Gary's Mod is so delicious if it brings us things like that. I can't tell if it's more funny or terrifying. Because it is a lot of BOTH.

Also, grats to parties involved and Mazeltov! and suchlike

 

[Ion Flux]

Smart move guys. I'm looking forward to playing your stuff more than just about anything else these days.

Agreed. Good news and congrats.

You know what else builds anticipation for a game? A release date.

No seriously, I DO love Gary's Mod, and I honestly can't tell if that picture is more funny or more terrifying. It is like the marble cake of scary and hilarious, wherein the two are BLENDED you see.

And Vault Dweller knows I give him props. Up high!

/highfive
