Tags: Tim CainMMOs are generally verboten around here (despite the unspoken fact that a full third of all Codexers have had a WoW or Hello Kitty Online addiction at some point), but when Tim Cain starts talking about his latest project for Carbine Studios and throws around words like "Arcanum" and "explosive collars", it's hard to not pay attention.
ZAM: We know that your current project is an original IP with fantasy elements. However, you've previously said that it's not entirely fantasy-based. What else can you tell us about the game's setting?
Tim: Remember my game Arcanum? It postulated a world where magic and science were at odds with each other, and ultimately you had to decide to embrace one or the other, or to forever walk the fine line between. This game is entirely not like that game.If you didn't already know this will likely be a mix of fantasy and sci-fi, be sure to check out the concept art.
ZAM: Finally, is there anything else you can tell us about your current project?
Tim: Here's a list of some of my favourite things: explosions, zombies, lasers, robots, ambient music, pets, giant monsters, dark humor and moral grey areas. All but one of these things is in my game.Thanks to Drog for pointing this out.
