Winterwind Productions has conducted
an interview with Sandi "Krazikatt" McCleary, in which the former Interplay webmaster talks about the company's last few years of operation. It's a good read and contains some information that I was not aware of. Here's a bit to get you started:
WW: When you first started at IPLY you were going to work on art for Stonekeep 2. You also designed the site for TORN which was up for about a week before the game was cancelled. Was this the fate of a lot of your work at IPLY?
SM: For Stonekeep 2 they were going to let me help with the art on a voluntary basis so I could get my foot into development… but I unfortunately never got to do anything. I would imagine I would probably be an Artist in development now had the game not been cancelled. The Torn site was something that had to be up quickly so I stayed late and got this site up (maybe it was for E3?) and I think it was only up for about a week before they told me to remove it. Fortunately though this wasn’t always how it went. Most of my sites were up for at least a year. I think the toughest part was in the end watching the entire Interplay site, BIS site, all the product sites and the forums just go “poof!”
